Hey movie fans, I'm Tatiana Carrier and I've got info on another awards show making news this weekend. Yes, the grand-daddy of all awards show, the Oscars, made headlines with The Artist taking home the award for Best Picture, but what about all those other movies on the other side of the spectrum? As Hollywood was patting itself on the back for all the amazing work they did this past year, the annual Razzie Awards were reminding us all of some of the less than stellar movies the industry churned out in 2011.
Actor Adam Sandler set a new high (or would that be a new low?) racking up a record 11 nominations with three films: Jack & Jill, Just Go with It and Bucky Larson: Born To Be a Star. He more than doubled the previous record held by Eddie Murphy who had 5 nominations back in 2007 for Norbit. In addition to nominations for Worst Picture for Jack & Jill and Bucky Larson and Worst Actor for his role in both Jack & Jill and Just Go With It, Sandler was also nominated for Worst Actress for his role as Jill Sadelstein in Jack & Jill. Sandler isn't the only male in the actress category as he will be competing with Martin Lawrence for his role in Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son.
Other notable nominees include Nicolas Cage for his roles in Drive Angry 3D, Season of the Witch and Trespass and Patrick Dempsey and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The third film in the popular franchise that managed to earn over a billion dollars at the box office also grabbed nominations for Worst Screen Ensemble, Worst Director, Worst Screen Couple and Worst Screenplay.
The 32nd annual Razzie Awards will be handed out on April Fool's Day. You can check out the full list of nominees on our blog by clicking the link in the description.
