The 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, or the Razzies, honored the worst the film industry had to offer in 2023 on March 9, 2024. The awards are based on votes from members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (1,179 movie buffs, film critics and journalists from 49 US States, and two dozen foreign countries). The nominations were announced on January 22, 2024. Additionally, with four nods, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania earned the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) its first-ever Razzie nominations, breaking the franchise's 16-year streak without a single Razzie Award nomination.

In August 2023, a statement by John J. B. Wilson and Maureen Murphy announced that the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation was considering the possibility of setting a new precedent by awarding Walt Disney Studios the Barry L. Bumstead Award to an entire studio for the first time ever (and not just to an individual theatrical film); ultimately, the award was not presented. This was due to the studio's centennial anniversary releases (e.g. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Elemental, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Little Mermaid, The Marvels, Peter Pan & Wendy, and Wish) causing "the once phenomenally profitable Walt Disney Pictures [to suffer] failure after failure at the box office" when "corporate honchos had hoped to spend th[e] entire year celebrating a century of success".

Upon learning of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey sweeping every award it was nominated for, the film's writer-director (Rhys Frake-Waterfield) reacted in an interview for Variety, stating: "I'm surprised our micro-budget film is being compared to Hollywood, but nevertheless I don't mind the dubious honor as it places me in the same pool as directors whose work I admire so much." Producer Scott Chambers also chimed in with his reaction, saying: "I think it is something to celebrate. But yeah, I'm always a little bit protective of Rhys because obviously he's so early on in his career where the others, David Gordon Green and stuff that were in his category, they've got a solid career whereas Rhys is so early. And I feel like the director one was probably the one I disagree with the most, but the others, I'm like, 'Yeah, whatever.' Do you know what I mean? It is what it is and it's fine."
