The Razzies Nominations are out and 50 Shades of Grey is in the Lead
Hollywood’s shadiest honor, The Razzies announced their nominations for the worst films of the year, just a day ahead of the Academy Award noms.
Leading the race to the bottom is 50 Shades of Grey; the wet dream that turned into a cold fish received six nominations, including Worst Picture, Worst Actor for Jamie Dornan and Worst Actress for Dakota Johnson, whose mother Melanie Griffith is a multiple Razzie nominee and one-time “winner.”
Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne, who both took home Oscars last year, thought no one would remember Seventh Son and Jupiter Ascending, the turkeys that proceeded their Oscar grabs. Well, The Golden Raspberries haven’t forgotten, serving them Worst Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor noms for their contributions to those “films.”
Redmayne is an Oscar nominee this year for his role in The Danish Girl; so how’s that for a balancing act. His Jupiter Ascending co-star Channing Tatum also received a Razzie nom as Worst Actor in the film. I really hope one of them wins because it’s always great whenever someone shows up to accept their Razzie—as good sports Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck (all Oscar-winners, by the way) have done in the past.

Pink Panther
January 19, 10:07Seventh Son is simply the ghastliest. Jeezuz! I couldn’t believe Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges were in it. Like seriously, did you not read the script?! Such a mess, that movie.
ikhines
January 19, 07:25Sometimes I think: should anyone beat adam sandler for worst actor in any category? Don’t need to see his awful movies to know he deserves these awards.
Absalom
January 19, 07:39LOL. Katherine Heigl is terrible in anything. ???
Terra
January 19, 09:19Unfair!!
Pink Panther
January 19, 10:09Ah no, Absalom. She is a good actress abeg. And in this movie, Home Sweet Hell, she was particularly chilling. Loved the film. Loved how badass she was.
Absalom
January 19, 17:43Because of you I’ll see the movie.
Dennis Macaulay
January 19, 08:04No na! I like Katherine Heigl, she has a refreshing warm personality that even shows in her characters!
I loved 50 shades of grey! Why is it nominated?
#Chestnut
January 19, 08:49These razzies just keep trying it jor. I know it’s not meant to be taken seriously,but a bad storyline doesn’t necessarily mean bad acting nau; u can give a good actor a bad script,and he plays the role convincingly,lol.
Chandler B.
January 19, 10:46JLo should go with the Worst Actress for Boy Next Door. The movie was terribly disappointing. I loved Katherine Heigl in Home Sweet Hell. I kinda liked Jupiter Ascending…maybe it was because Channing was in it.
Delle
January 19, 13:07Excuse you?!
Chandler B.
January 19, 14:00Is there a problem?
Delle
January 19, 15:18Why no, but there’d be if u do not hands off Channing. He’s taken, sweetheart. Taken.
Chandler B.
January 20, 12:54Durling don’t hate the new chick. Just step up your game.
bruno
January 19, 10:46i am obviously the only person in the world who enjoyed fantastic four and mordecai… other nominations are thoroughly deserved
bruno
January 19, 10:51wait. they made a third human centipede movie??? I hope there is at least a worthy porn parody of that series… *opens xvideos*
Delle
January 19, 13:03Huh?! Who organises this award show? That person better be wary cos I’m going to deal severely with his being if I get a hold of him! How dare they? How dare they include my Channing Tattum?! How? He never acts bad, NEVER! Oh and even if he did act horribly in the movie, couldn’t his face and damn sexiness get him out of this show of shame? Oh, this is so hurtful…I’ve lost appetite.
OAN
J.Lo didn’t do badly in that movie, Boy Next Door. What’s even the criteria for this cos I enjoyed that movie. The only movie that deserves the nomination and should damn well win every of its category is Fantastic Four! Horrible mix of shit.
Why Channing? God, why? *sobbing uncontrollably*
Brian Collins
January 20, 19:09If Mortdecai was nominated then Mad Max Fury Road should have been too. They were both crazy, senseless, dense movies (I mean who was that guy playing the guitar from the beginning of the movie till the end) and I loved them both.
I enjoyedenjoyed Jupiter Ascending too.
Pink Panther
January 21, 02:17Mad Max Fury Road was crazy, senseless and dense? :O
Deola, get in here please!
