The Golden Raspberry Awards, otherwise known as the Razzie Awards, announced its nominations for its 39th annual ceremony. The awards show that gives 'distinction' to Hollywood's worst films this year gave nods toward President Donald Trump and the John Gotti film, “Gotti.”
With a rare zero percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, “Gotti” co-lead the nominations in six categories along with "Holmes and Watson" and "Happytime Murders."
"Fahrenheit 11/9," "Robin Hood," "Winchester," and "Death of a Nation" came in second to receive four nominations. "Fifty Shades Freed" is nominated in three categories, including worst screenplay and worst director.
"Gotti," starring John Travolta as the dapper New York mobster, was nominated for worst picture, worst actor, worst supporting actress, worst screen combo, worst director and worst screenplay. Other worst picture nominees include "Holmes & Watson," "The Happytime Murders," "Robin Hood," and "Winchester."
Melissa McCarthy was nominated for worst actress just a few weeks after being nominated at the Golden Globes for best actress. Oscar-winner Helen Mirren was also nominated for worst actress for "Winchester." Will Ferrel and John C. Reily received nods as worst actor and worst supporting actor, respectively, and together for worst screen combo.
Other worst screen combo nominees include Johnny Depp and "his fast-fading film career" for "Sherlock Gnomes," and 'any two actors or puppets' from "The Happytime Murders," noting, "especially in those creepy sex scenes."
