Joker (2019) was the most nominated film at the 92nd Academy Awards, with 11 nominations including the Best Picture,[30] and won two including the Best Actor.[31] However, the film's polarized critical reception resulted in it earning a nomination in the special Razzie category of Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property, which it lost to Rambo: Last Blood.[32] This nomination also made Joker the second film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and a Razzie, after 1990's The Godfather Part III.
