New year, new ceremony for the Razzie Awards. Who will succeed the evil Batman V Superman for this vintage 2018? Leading nominees, Transformers: The Last Knight receives no less than 9 nominations.
The Razzie Awards, a kind of parody of the famous Oscar Awards, reward each year the worst of what could produce the 7th art. If we can not discover the track record of this 38th edition that March 3, 2018 (one day before the Oscars), the names of the nominees have just fallen as we learn The Guardian . In addition to Michael Bay's blockbuster, Fifty Darker Shades won eight nominations, followed closely by The Mummy (Tom Cruise version) with seven nominations.
A selection too ... ironic?
However, we can always be surprised (this is the case each time) to see some movies appear in the selection. Indeed, this year, the controversial but exciting Mother! directed by Darren Aronofsky is nominated in the categories of worst director, worst actress for Jennifer Lawrence and worst supporting role for Javier Bardem. Selection choices that are reminiscent of the injustices made in Lone Ranger or After Earth in 2014 during the 34th Razzie Awards ceremony.
