Snakes 2023 given away. Vega won with the Holy Spirit, Zawierucha lost in his own category

Polskie Węże is the equivalent of the Golden Raspberries, i.e. awards for the worst films and filmmakers of the past year. The twelfth edition of the event was unique in several respects. The list of nominees included the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary, who are said to have contributed to the film “The Called”. In addition, the chapter of Węży expanded the category of awards with “The worst role”. As the organizers of the event declared, the actor played so many weak roles last year that the decision was inevitable.

However, what is most surprising, Zawierusze failed to win the statuette in its own category. Members of the Academy decided to emphasize the actor’s unsuccessful performances in last year’s productions even more clearly and reward Hubert Zyśek.

After a thorough analysis of the situation in this category, however, we decided that Rafał Zawierucha should lose in the category THE WORST ROLE OF RAFAŁA ZAWIERUCHA – the organizers of Węży justify the decision.

The Academy emphasizes that Rafał Zawierucha won the role in the film “Invisible War” in the category of Rafał Zawierucha. However, the character is played by as many as six actors in the production. The jurors declare that they watched the film again on purpose and decided that it would be fairest if the statuette was awarded to Hubert Zyśk, who “stand out the most in this role”.

Snakes 2023. List of winners. Who made the worst Polish film of the year?

BIG SNAKE:

• “365 Days: This Day” / “Another 365 Days” (dir. Barbara Białowąs, Tomasz Mandes; prod. Ewa Lewandowska, Tomasz Mandes, Maciej Kawulski) – for the film trauma in which the second and third time turn out to be even worse than first.
• “Where the devil can’t send baby” (dir. Heathcliff Janusz Iwanowski; prod. Jolanta Owczarek, Heathcliff Janusz Iwanowski) – for an unleavened infantile approach to recent history, in which the heroines’ hairstyles are more expressive than the plot.
• “Gierek” (dir. Michał Węgrzyn; produced by Jolanta Owczarczyk, Heathcliff Janusz Iwanowski) – for a film-like propaganda product and self-admiration of its authors.
• “How I Loved a Gangster” (dir. Maciej Kawulski, prod. Tomasz Wardyn, Maciej Kawulski) – for a gangster drama devoid of action and tension, whose protagonist tries to talk us to death.
• “The End of the World, or Kogel Mogel 4” (dir. Anna Wieczur; prod. Tadeusz Lampka, Ilona Łepkowska) – for trying to squeeze out the last drops of nostalgia for films we liked decades ago.
• “Love, sex & pandemic” (dir. and produced by Patryk Vega) – for a trivial plot and pretending that it’s about more than ticket sales.
• “The Invisible War” (dir. and produced by Patryk Vega) – for the lack of skill in telling even about oneself.
• “Lesson Plan” (dir. Daniel Markowicz; prod. Mike Zawadzki, Daniel Markowicz) – for the fact that even decalculating a simple sensational plot turned out to be too much effort here.
• “Called” (dir. Jan Sobierajski; produced by Najświętsza Maryja Panna) – for an amateurish, bloated attempt at evangelization that unintentionally entertains.
• “Zołza” (dir. Tomasz Konecki; produced by Małgorzata Kożuchowska, Klaudiusz Frydrych, Krzysztof Rak, Inga Kruk – for feigned distance and absolute lack of emotions in the recipient. And ignorance of the meaning of the word “autobiography”.
