Machine Gun Kelly‘s directorial debut Good Mourning has been nominated for seven awards across the Golden Raspberry Awards.

The 43rd annual awards – also known as the Razzies – is a tongue-in-cheek response to the Oscars which honours the worst films of the year. Recent winners include Space Jam: A New Legacy, Cats, The Emoji Movie, and Sia‘s autism drama Music.

This year’s nominations are led by the controversial Netflix Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde but Machine Gun Kelly’s (aka Colson Baker) Good Mourning follows behind with seven nods.

The film received nominations for Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay, plus two nominations in the Worst Supporting Actor category (Mod Sun and Pete Davidson).

Baker has also been nominated for Worst Actor and Worst Director alongside Mod Sun, who he also shares the Worst Onscreen Combo nomination with.

First announced in August 2021, it was confirmed last year that Good Mourning – a stoner comedy that Baker co-wrote, directed and stars in alongside fellow musician Mod Sun, fiancée Megan Fox and close friend Pete Davidson – would arrive on May 20.

It marked Baker’s third film for 2022, following his cameo in Jackass Forever and a starring role in the music drama Taurus. It also marked his third time linking up with Pete Davidson, having made cameos in Big Time Adolescence and The King Of Staten Island.

In a four star review of Good Mourning, NME said: “Good Mourning is content with providing sheer, silly entertainment, filling the comedy void left by the likes of Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill perfectly.”

The Razzies take place on March 11 in Los Angeles.
