So, here they are. The nominees for the 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a. the Razzies. You'll be pleased to know (possibly?) that some things never change with the Razzies voters and a couple of expected names are present and correct.

WORST SCREENPLAY

So, with very little surprise, Expend4bles leads the pack with seven nominations, with The Exorcist: Believer and Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey tying for second with five each. Comicbook duds Shazam! Fury Of The Gods and Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania have four apiece. 

As is usual with the Razzies nominations, there are a couple of films I've never heard of (Johnny & Clyde, Confidential Informant, The Mother) and I certainly won't be racing to check them out.

The "winners" will be handed out in a ceremony on Saturday 9th March, the day before the Oscars. 

Having already posted my Oscar predictions earlier this morning (the world has indeed been turned upside down), my next post will be the official Oscar nominations tomorrow.
