The Razzies Have An Unfortunate History Of Nominating Child Actors

Macaulay Culkin, star of classic '90s hits like "Home Alone" and "My Girl," saw himself get nominated for worst actor at the 1995 Razzies when he was 14-year-old, and it wasn't just one movie that the poor kid got picked on for. John Wilson and his gang of Golden Raspberry critics called out Culkin for three different films he put out in 1994: "Getting Even with Dad," "The Pagemaster," and "Richie Rich." None of his co-stars were called out, only Culkin. 

"I guess it was much easier to make fun [of] kids back in 1995," Culkin tweeted on January 25, calling out the Razzie Awards' official Twitter page. The decision to finally impose an age limit for Razzie nominees due to the Ryan Kiera Armstrong backlash is something that the former child star obviously hasn't forgotten, and likely never will judging from his Twitter statements. 

"Just gently letting them know that their digs at a 14 year version of me wasn't appreciated," Culkin blasted in another tweet. 

After making "Richie Rich" and experiencing all the criticism that came with it and his other movies from 1994, Culkin decided to step away from Hollywood and retire from acting. He eventually returned to the movie and TV industry in the 2000s and has starred in a number of different things in recent years, including "American Horror Story: Double Feature" and "The Righteous Gemstones." Not long after Culkin's nomination, another child star was affected greatly by his Razzie Award recognition and the public criticism surrounding the role he played, which was one of the most iconic in movie history.
