Nominations for the Razzies announced
NEW YORK -- The much-derided superhero clash “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and the far-too-late comedy sequel “Zoolander No. 2” are the leading nominees for the 37th annual Razzie Awards.
“Zoolander No. 2” drew nine nods and “Batman v Superman” landed eight in nominations announced Monday for the worst films and performances of 2016. Both are up for worst picture, along with “Gods of Egypt,” ‘’Independence Day: Resurgence,” ‘’Dirty Grandpa” and the political documentary “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party.”
Many nominees are typically acclaimed performers, including Robert De Niro (“Dirty Grandpa”), Naomi Watts (“Divergent Series: Allegiant” and “Shut-In”), Kristen Wiig (“Zoolander No. 2”), Johnny Depp (“Alice Through the Looking Glass”), Will Ferrell (“Zoolander No. 2”), Ben Affleck (“Batman v Superman”) and Julia Roberts (“Mother’s Day”).
“Winners” will be announced Feb. 25, the night before the Academy Awards.
