It would appear that the Razzie Awards had its fair share of terrible films to choose from last year. And as the nominees showcase, this year’s Razzies seems to be going across all genres and even venturing into the political realm to highlight the very worst that Hollywood had to offer last year.
Leading the way are films like “Gotti,” “The HappyTime Murders,” and “Death of a Nation,” as well as the non-actor President Donald J. Trump, with a couple noms himself. Rounding out the list of Worst Picture nominees are “Holmes & Watson,” “Robin Hood,” and “Winchester.” Hard to argue with those choices.

Perhaps most controversial of all, however, is the awards show’s apparent distaste for all things Trump. The President secured nominations for Worst Actor (for his work in the documentaries “Fahrenheit 11/9” and “Death of a Nation”) and Worst Screen Combo. Joining Trump in the awards show crosshairs are First Lady Melania Trump and Kellyanne Conway, each for Worst Support Actress.
The 39th annual Razzie Awards will be given out on February 23, the night before the Oscars, naturally.
