Tom Hanks gets three Razzie nominations for Elvis and Pinocchio performances

12 days ago The National

His recent hit film Elvis is an Oscars frontrunner, but Tom Hanks was left all shook up on Monday as he earned three nominations from the Razzies, which "celebrate" the year's worst films. Hanks was shortlisted by the tongue-in-cheek awards for his roles as Presley's manager in the rock 'n' roll biopic Elvis, and Geppetto in Disney's critically slated live-action Pinocchio remake. A press release from organisers of the Razzies dubbed Hanks' Elvis role as "2022's most widely derided performance," and piled on a further nomination for Worst Screen Couple to Tom Hanks & His Latex-Laden Face (and Ludicrous Accent). While Elvis and its star Austin Butler have generally received acclaim, Hanks's appearance as his exploitative manager Colonel Tom Parker was panned by many critics.

What next for Boris Johnson, the former PM with aspirations to lead again?

Boris Johnson may have withdrawn from the race to be the next prime minister, but there are sure to be questions about what the ex-Number 10 resident does next. But Mr Johnson was forced late on Sunday to admit he could not unite his warring party, seemingly surrendering the Tory leadership race to his ex-chancellor Rishi Sunak. Even if he does secure sufficient support from Tory MPs, Mr Sunak may struggle to shake off the spectre of Mr Johnson. The blonde-haired, charismatic former Conservative leader said on Sunday that he thought he was “well placed” to lead to the Tories to victory at the next general election. It would be across-the-board, I’m sure.”Mr Johnson has extensive overseas experience, having been Foreign Secretary under Theresa May from July 2016 to June 2018.
