With clear words, US actress Drew Barrymore (47, “Charlie’s Angels”) criticized the contributors of the “Golden Raspberry” (“Razzies”) abusive award for nominating twelve-year-old Ryan Kiera Armstrong (“Firestarter”). “I don’t like it. Because she’s younger and it’s bullying,” Barrymore said on CBS Mornings. She was relieved that many people had criticized the nomination.

The nominations for the US smear award were announced on Monday. After severe criticism, the distributors withdrew Armstrong’s nomination.
