Good Mourning was definitely one of the movies of 2022. Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun’s comedy flick did not do well: It earned just $21,348 at the box office and currently has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 0 percent. With stats like that, naturally, it earned some nominations at the Golden Raspberry Awards 2023 (aka the Razzies), which honor the worst cinematic achievements of the year. MGK and Sun went home with one of them, too, winning the Razzie for Worst Director.

The movie was also nominated for Worst Picture (which Blonde won) and Worst Screenplay (also Blonde), while other Good Mourning nominations included MGK for Worst Actor (Jared Leto in Morbius), Pete Davidson and Mod Sun getting individual nods for Worst Supporting Actor (Tom Hanks in Elvis), and MGK and Sun for Worst Screen Couple (Tom Hanks and His Latex-Laden Face (and Ludicrous Accent) in Elvis).

This is just the latest bad news Mod Sun has received lately (and by far the least significant), as it was reported that he and then-fiancée Avril Lavigne had split up. That turned out to be true, as Sun wrote in a late-February Instagram post, “In 1 week my entire life completely changed…I just know there’s a plan for it all. I’ll keep my head up + always listen to my heart, even when it feels broken [broken heart emoji] Being surrounded by love every night on tour has been an absolute blessing. I have the best friends in the entire world, thanks for always having my back. See you on stage.”

Machine Gun Kelly And Mod Sun Win Worst Director Razzies Award For “Good Mourning”

by

The Razzie Awards, which took place this weekend, are the annual ceremony that celebrates the worst in film. They are the opposite of the Oscars and host their show around the same time as the Academy’s glamorous event. This year markedly saw Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun taking home the dubious honor of worst directors of the year for their movie Good Mourning. The film stars Colson Baker as an actor, with his real-life BFF playing his on-screen friend. It also stars Megan Fox, who is in a turbulent relationship with MGK.

The movie remains a commercial failure. It received next to no positive reviews, and many have called it a complete mess. The recording artist’s project also only made $21,348 after a short time in the theaters. Now the directors of the film get to take home an appropriate award for their directing skills. While the movie Blonde beat Good Mourning for the worst movie, it appears Andrew Dominik did a better job at directing. Aside from the aforementioned award, MGK was also nominated for the worst actor in his movie. However, he was beaten by Jared Leto.

MGK And Mod Sun Win At Losing

Machine Gun Kelly got his start in acting in 2018 and directing in 2021. His first time behind the camera was his latest venture with Mod Sun. The two seem to enjoy working on movies together, as they reunited on Good Mourning after their previous film, Downfalls High. The latter has a much better reputation than their current “award-winning” release. The former arrived in 2021 and is a dramatic musical that showcases Baker’s musical capabilities.

Along with MGK and Mod Sun, there are many others that joined the pair in winning awards this weekend – and not at the Oscars. Disney’s Pinocchio won worst remake, while Jared Leto and Tom Hanks won worst actor and supporting actor for their appearances in Morbius and Elvis, respectively. Currently, neither of the Good Mourning directors has commented publicly on their new and unflattering accolades. Make sure to check back in later as reactions to the Razzie Awards continue to pour in.
