Ryan Kiera Armstrong, a 12-year-old actor, was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her performance in Firestarter until outrage over her age caused the organisation to rescind its choice. Golden Raspberry Awards are unfortunate enough as even those with an immutable sense of humour about themselves likely don't want their work to be derided, even if their heart wasn't in the performance. Armstrong plays Charlie McGee in the 2022 remake of Firestarter based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. The film wasn't met with warm reviews, ironically, with criticisms over the plot's structure, predictability, lack of visual excitement and shoddy effects. It’s why the Razzies were created in the first place,” said John Wilson, founder of the awards, in a statement given on Wednesday.
