Razzies 2023: Drew Barrymore calls child actor's nomination bullying
By Annabel RackhamBBC News
Hollywood star Drew Barrymore has criticised organisers of the Razzies awards for " bullying" a Child Actor .
The parody awards, which honour the worst films and performances, caused controversy by nominating 12-year-old Ryan Keira Armstrong for her role in The Film Firestarter.
Barrymore, a former child star, said on CBS's Talk of The Table " when talking about children all bets are off".
Razzies organisers have apologised and introduced an age limit for the awards.
John Wilson , Razzies co-founder, apologised and said on 25 January: " 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 .
" As a result, we have removed Armstrong's name from The Final ballot that our members will cast next month. We also believe a public apology is owed to Ms Armstrong and wish to say we regret any hurt she experienced as a result of our choices. "

Barrymore, 47, also played Armstrong's character in The First adaption of The Film Firestarter in 1984 when she was nine.
She has plenty of experience of being a Child Actor , having starred in E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Irreconcilable Differences .
Barrymore also previously interviewed Armstrong on her US daytime TV show, The Drew Barrymore Show, saying the 12-year-old " could not have been lovelier".
" I don't like it because she is younger, " she went on to say on Talk of The Table .
" We do want to be cautious about how we speak to or about people, because it encourages Other People to join on that bandwagon.
" I'm glad to see people didn't jump on the 'let's make fun of her' wave, instead people said, 'this isn't right'. "
