From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The nominations for the Razzies – the ceremony that awards the worst films of the year – have been announced.
Leading this year’s pack are Dolittle, starring Robert Downey Jr, and controversial Netflix release 365 Days, which both received six nods.
Blumhouse horror film Fantasy Island and Sia’s Music, following a teenager with autism, followed close behind with five and four nominations, respectively.
Nominated actors include Adam Sandler for his role in Hubie Halloween and Kristen Wiig for her villainous role in Wonder Woman 1984.
In a rare twist, Hillbilly Elegy star Glenn Close was nominated for Worst Supporting Actor – the same role for which she is expected to receive a Best Actress Oscar nomination on Monday (15 March).
The 2021 Razzie Awards will take place on 24 April, two days before the Oscars.
