“Transformers: The Last Knight,” “Fifty Shades Darker” and “The Mummy” led the field of nominees Monday for the 38th annual Razzie Awards, honoring the worst of everything in cinema.
The Razzies — known formally as the Golden Raspberry Awards and bestowed by the same-name organization of 1,009 movie-lovers paying a membership fee also singled out Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Jennifer Lawrence, Tyler Perry, Susan Sarandon and Emma Watson among 2017’s worst performers, and gave perennial punching bag Michael Bay his umpteenth nomination for Worst Director.
The “winners” will be announced March 3, a day before the Academy Awards.
The fifth film in the Transformers series about giant robots duking it out on Earth earned nine nods, including for Picture, Actor (Mark Wahlberg), Supporting Actor (Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins), Supporting Actress (Laura Haddock), Director (Bay), Screenplay, “Remake, Rip-off or Sequel” and “Screen Combo,” subheading “Any Combination of Two Humans, Two Robots or Two Explosions.”
“Fifty Shades Darker,” the sequel to the erotic snoozefest “Fifty Shades of Grey,” was next in line with eight nominations, followed by the Tom Cruise remake “The Mummy” (7), and the TV-series adaptation “Baywatch” and the animated “The Emoji Movie” (4 each).
