Five days into the new year and the movie awards season is in full swing. A chance to celebrate all of the cinematic gold bestowed upon us by filmmakers over the last 365 days, the majority of awards bodies veer towards the positive. The good, the great and the outstanding movie achievements. Of course, you can’t have yin without yang, and that customary glint of deviousness amidst the showers of compliments will soon be upon us, in the shape of the The Annual Golden Raspberry Awards.
Known informally as The Razzies, the achievements are dished out based on how bad the category nominees performed, and this year’s nominees have now been announced. Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways To Die In The West beat out its closest competitors for the esteemed honour of most nominations with a whopping eight altogether. Recent limelight comedy, The Interview, also snagged four nominations across three categories.
Elsewhere, the Michael Bay robot romp, Transformers: Age Of Extinction not only secured itself seven nominations, but was singled out for special treatment. The Razzie powers-that-be clearly hold a dark, burning dislike of the fourth robo-sequel as it’s listed as TRANSFORMERS: AGE of EX-STINK-TION in the Worst Picture category and TRANNIES 4 elsewhere.
You can check out the full list of nominees below, and if you decide you’d like to weigh in – you can! Head over to The Razzies official site to cast your votes before January 10th. The final shortlists will be revealed on January 14th.
