Drew Barrymore, the original Firestarter from the 1984 film of that name is burning mad over the Razzie nomination (now withdrawn) of the new Firestarter, 12-year-old Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Speaking…

, Barrymore said her “blood boiled” after learning that the young actress was nominated for a worst actress Razzie Award. OnOn her own show – watch both clips below – Barrymore said, “Listen, I get poking fun at ourselves. I mean come on, fair game, bring it on, but Ryan is 12 years old.” The original Firestarter continued, “Razzie co-founder John Wilson has since apologized and removed her from the category and said they’re implementing a new rule precluding anyone 18 years or younger.

Earlier this week, Wilson issued an apology saying, in part, “Sometimes you do things without thinking. Then you are called out for it. Then you get it. It’s why the Razzies were created in the first place.” Wilson also said the criticism over the nomination was “valid,” and that the organization will no longer nominate performers or filmmakers under the age of 18.

After internet backlash, the Razzies apologized, saying actors under the age of 18 would no longer be considered.

Already backtracking, so..

If a kid cant take criticism then a kid shouldnt be nominated for the oscars js

💯 agree with Barrymore on this. A 12 year old should not have to deal with such a horrific label - “worst actress”? Yikes. I’m sure Tom Hanks can laugh off his Elvis Razzie, but don’t do this to kids. Glad they withdrew it. DrewBarrymore

Firestarter 2021 was let's face it a bit of a pig , and didn't they amend that now as only 18 or over get those stupid awards anyway.i preferred the 80s one least it had good well known performer's.

She was pretty good in it, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. After the new Pet Cemetery I expected the worst. 😁 Firestarter
