‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ leads the nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards with nine.
The sci-fi action movie has been nominated for a prize in nearly every category at the upcoming awards show, which selects the worst Hollywood has offered up in the last year and is known as the Razzies, including bagging a nod for Worst Picture.
The Michael Bay-directed movie is up against ‘Baywatch’, ‘The Emoji Movie’, ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ and ‘The Mummy’ in the category, and its main stars, Mark Wahlberg and Sir Anthony Hopkins, also received nominations.
Mark and Anthony are up for the Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actor awards respectively, with the former also nominated for his movie ‘Daddy’s Home 2’.
He will go up against Tom Cruise (‘The Mummy’), Johnny Depp (‘Pirates of the Caribbean XIII: Dead Men Tell No Tales’), Jamie Dornan (‘Fifty Shades Darker’) and Zac Efron (‘Baywatch’) for the prize.
But there was some let up for the ‘Transformers’ movie in the Worst Actress category because the film did not receive a nod, although Laura Haddock was nominated for Worst Supporting Actress.
‘Fifty Shades Darker’ closely followed behind with eight nominations, including one for lead actress Dakota Johnson, who is up against Katherine Heigl (‘Unforgettable’), Jennifer Lawrence (‘Mother!’), Tyler Perry (‘BOO! 2: A Madea Halloween’) and Emma Watson (‘The Circle’) in the main actress category.
Other nods saw both Transformers: The Last Knight’s Bay and Fifty Shades Darker’s James Foley up for Worst Director, alongside Darren Aronofsky (‘Mother!’), Alex Kurtzman (‘The Mummy’) and Anthony Leonidis (‘The Emoji Movie’).
The so-called winners of the Razzies will be announced on March 3, the day before the Academy Awards hands out its Oscars for the finest recent performances.
