I usually get a kick out of these awards, but nominating a little kid for best actress (the kid from the Firestarter remake) seems cruel. The Razzies have apologized and have decided to introduce an age limit. I don't even think she is that bad in the movie. There were 5 worse lead actress performances last year than her.

I don't know, if minors can be nominated for Oscars, don't see why they can't be nominated for Razzies. It's not very nice, but these people have put themselves out there to be critiqued, at least for their acting. Haven't seen Firestarter, but I've definitely seen child performances worth a nod.
(And I'm sure between the relentless real life bullying and the venom of the absolute worst fanbase on earth, the LEAST of Jake Lloyd's troubles was a dumb award nomination no one cares about)

Can't be an actress and not get critiqued no matter your age. You want the millions of cash and praises but not the negatives? Little girl stay in school.

I didn't like the idea of Jake Lloyd being nominated either, but I agree it isn't as bad as the amount of bullying and threats he got that really messed him up.

Surely, but that probably goes for any kind of criticism - I remember crying in 6th grade because I got an F in my favorite class. But I didn't choose to go to school, nor was I paid for it, and my teacher didn't renig the grade because it hurt my feelings. It's probably a bad idea for a kid's mental health to put them on a global stage to be judged in the first place, but alas. The Razzies aren't really meant to be taken seriously anyway, so changing this rule is whatever, I guess. But I do notice people and critics have to walk on eggshells anytime it comes to a child performance, and some of them are simply bad.

Well the global aspect is what makes it more substantial than something like getting an F in grade school. I should point out that I have no problem criticizing child performances as I have done so in the past, I just draw the line at putting them in the broadest possible public eye about it. And I know simply saying a child performance is bad online is technically putting it out in public, but it can be more easily ignored by the criticized person as opposed to having it brought up by a well-known award show, even if said show is not taken seriously by many people.
