2016: A Year of Movies SO Bad The Razzies® Had to Expand to Six Nominees Per Category!
Zoolander No. 2 and Batman v Superman lead the Pack with Most Nominations
The crop of cinematic crap in 2016 was so extensive that this year's 37th Annual Razzie® Awards is expanding from 5 nominees to an unprecedented 6 contenders in each of its 9 Worst Achievement in Film categories.
Leading this year's list of movie-misfires are the 15-years-too-late sequel Zoolander No. 2 and the WTF comic book battle-royale Batman v Superman. Each is up for both Worst Picture and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel. Other Worst Picture nominees include Dirty Grandpa, Gods of Egypt, Hillary's America and Independence Day: Resurgence. Acting contenders include Ben Affleck, Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts and Robert de Niro. A complete list of this year's nominees is included with this press release and at razzies.com.
Our nomination announcement will be available at Razzie Channel after 5:30am/PST Monday. “Winners” of this year's tackiest Tinsel Town trophy will be revealed on Saturday, February 25 – the now traditional day before the 89th Annual Giving Out of the Little Gold Naked Men.
Voting Razzie Members (1,014 from 49 US States and 24 countries) selected contenders in 8 of our 9 categories. For Worst Screen Combo, we partnered again with Rotten Tomatoes where tens of thousands of users picked the nominees.

Do Sandler movies no longer qualify as they're direct to Netflix? It feels strange seeing a Razzie list without any mention of him or one of his flicks.
My favorite nominee on the list is "Any two Gods or Mortals" from Gods of Egypt. For the record, I thought Zoolander 2 and Independence Day were ok flicks, but Dirty Grandpa deserves all the shit it gets.
