Glitter

Glitter is a 2001 drama film produced by Twentieth Century Fox (see 2001 in film), starring Mariah Carey, centering on the life and times of a struggling singer from the early 1980s club music scene. Largely panned by critics and audiences alike, it performed poorly in theatres after being labelled a vanity project and being an almost autobiographical account of Carey's life. Various sources, including Carey herself, believe that the film and its accompanying soundtrack were commercial disappointments due to being released in close proximity to the September 11 terrorist attacks. The film received five nominations (and one win: Carey, for Worst Actress) at the 2001 Golden Raspberry Awards, and has been considered one of the worst films ever made.
