‘Zoolander No. 2,’ ‘Batman v Superman’ lead 2017 Razzies nominations
One day before Hollywood honors the best films of 2016 by unveiling the Oscar nominations, the Razzies have revealed its contenders for the year’s worst.
Zoolander No. 2 has the dubious honor of earning the most nominations this time around, with a total of 9 — including Worst Picture, Worst Actor and Worst Director for Ben Stiller, Worst Supporting Actress for Kristen Wiig, and Worst Supporting Actor for both Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson.
Coming in second with eight nominations is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which also earned a nod for Worst Picture and two nominations in the Worst Actor category, for Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel and Ben Affleck’s Caped Crusader.
Joining those two in the Worst Picture category are Dirty Grandpa, Gods of Egypt, Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, and Independence Day: Resurgence.
The year had so many bad films, the Razzies said in Monday’s announcement, that it expanded the number of nominees from five to six in each of its nine categories. The winners will be announced on Feb. 25 — the day before the Oscars are handed out.
See below for the full list of this year’s Razzie nominees.
