Razzie nomination­s celebrate failure

- By Rachel DeSantis New York Daily News

For every “Lady Bird,” there’s a “Fifty Shades Darker.” For every Sam Rockwell in “Three Billboards,” there’s a Zac Efron in “Baywatch.”

And for those who’d rather soak in the schadenfre­ude that comes with watching terrible movies than tune in to the Oscars, there’s the Razzies.

The nominees for the 38th annual Gold Raspberry Awards — better known as “The Razzies” — were announced Monday, highlighti­ng the very worst Tinsel Town had to offer in 2017.

Michael Bay’s “Transforme­rs: The Last Night” earned the distinctio­n (er, honor?) of scoring the most nomination­s with nine, including Worst Picture, Worst Actor and Worst Director.

Other notable nominees include “Fifty Shades Darker,” which scored eight nomination­s, and a nod for Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, for her turn in the controvers­ial “Mother!”

The lucky winners will be announced March 3, just one day before the Oscars hands out trophies of its own.
