1998 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards
The 21st Stinkers Bad Movie Awards were released by the Hastings Bad Cinema Society in 1999 to honour the worst films the film industry had to offer in 1998.
According to founders Ray Wright and Mike Lancaster, they were quite surprised by how The Avengers lost to Spice World in the run for Worst Picture. They also stated that while pressured to include Armageddon and Godzilla on the Worst Picture ballot, they ultimately felt that Blues Brothers 2000 was more deserving. They then admitted that if they expanded the Worst Picture category to ten films, they would have added Armaggeddon, Babe: Pig in the City, Godzilla, Krippendorf's Tribe, and Meet the Deedles to the ballot. Lancaster put Lost in Space as the one 1998 film among his five worst movies of the 1990s, alongside It's Pat, Kids, Nothing but Trouble, and Ready to Wear.
Listed as follows are the different categories with their respective winners and nominees, including Worst Picture and its dishonourable mentions, which are films that were considered for Worst Picture but ultimately failed to make the final ballot. All winners are highlighted.
