White House chancellor Keelan Conway received the worst supporting actress award for her archival footage at Fahrenheit 11/9.
Melissa McCarthy won the Worst Actress Award for her comedic role in The Happy Time Murderers. Jotty, about late New York mafia leader John Goethe, survived a "win," despite six nominations including the worst film, the worst actor, and the worst duo of John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston.
