‘Batman v Superman,’ ‘Zoolander’ score Razzies
“Zoolander No. 2” and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” did very well when it came to nominees for this year’s Golden Raspberries Awards, also known as the Razzies.
Maybe “well” isn’t the right word.
The nominees for the 37th annual “honoring” the worst films of the year were announced Monday morning, the day before Oscar nominations are announced. The “Zoolander” sequel took home the most nominees, with nine, including worst picture. That category also includes “Dirty Grandpa,” “Independence Day: Resurgence,” “Batman v Superman,” “Gods of Egypt,” and “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party.”
“Batman v Superman” received eight nominations.
Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill are up for worst actor. The film also landed a worst director Daisy Ridley plays ace pilot Rey in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Questions surround her role in the next “Star Wars’ film. nominee for Zack Snyder and worst screenplay.
Makes you feel good about the coming sequel. “Zoolander No. 2” garnered a worst actor nominee for Ben Stiller, worst supporting actors for Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell, worst actress for Kristen Wiig, and worst screen combo for Stiller and Wilson.
The worst actor category has Robert DeNiro (“Dirty Grandpa”), Gerard Butler (“Gods of Egypt” and “London has Fallen”), Tyler Perry (BOO! A Medea Halloween”) and Dinesh D’Souza for “Hillary’s America,” in which he played himself.
You know you’re a bad actor if you can’t play yourself properly.
The worst actress category includes Julia Roberts (“Mother’s Day,”) Megan Fox (“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows,”) Shailene Woodley (“Allegiant,”), Naomi Watts (“Allegiant” and “Shut-In”,) and Becky Turner (“Hillary Clinton’s America.”)
