Emma Watson and Tom Cruise among big stars nominated for this year's Razzies
Meanwhile, Transformers and the Emoji movie are up for Worst of the Worst
In a season that's all about pretty people congratulating themselves, the Razzie awards for the worst performances and films in Hollywood are always a welcome shot of bile.
Announced, as always, to coincide with the Oscar nominations, among the frontrunners this year are the Emoji Movie and Mother!, with mentions for stars Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem. The Transformers series continues its strong showing, as does Fifty Shades, while the high placement of The Mummy suggests the Universal 'Dark Universe' could be a Razzies mainstay – if Universal ever produce more monster movies, that is.
There are some subtle (and not so subtle) gags in the text of the nominations too, like claiming The Last Knight is the 17th in the Transformers franchise, or misspelling Johnny Depp's latest swashbuckler 'Dead Careers Tell No Tales'.
Those nominations in full.
