The nominees for the 38th annual Golden Rasberry Awards have been announced as Transformers: The Last Knight leads the pack. The nominees for the mock award show were unveiled Monday morning, a day before the Academy Award nominations.
The biggest takeaway this year for me was that Mother! received 3 nominations, including “Worst Actor” for Jennifer Lawrence, which I would argue as one of her best performances, and a nom for Darren Aronofsky for “Worst Director.”
The Razzies nominate what they deem to be the worst films that Hollywood has to offer, instead, they seem to nominate misunderstood or bold films. However the Razzies once nominated Stanley Kubrick for “Worst Director” for The Shining, so I take all of this with a grain of salt.
