Criticism
The awards are often criticized for nominating Heather Donahue for Worst Actress for her role in The Blair Witch Project.[1] GQ said it was "a ridiculous sham of an anti-Oscars ceremony" Donahue said as an experience it "still sucked as a young actress who felt totally unprepared for how enormous the movie had become."[2]
