Star Trek: Section 31
War Of The Worlds
War Of The Worlds and Snow White lead the field with six nominations apiece, while Hurry Up Tomorrow and Star Trek: Section 31 have five each.
Several of the usual suspects - Nicolas Cage, Sylvester Stallone, Jared Leto - are present and correct, although there are certain performers from at least two of the Worst Picture nominees who can breathe a sigh of relief and count themselves lucky not to be included (Chris Pratt, Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, I'm mainly looking at you). That said, I think the Razzies would open them up to an absolute shitshow of abuse from various keyboard warriors had either (or both) of the Snow White leads ended up on the shortlisted ballot given some of the less-than-savoury stuff that went on during the film's publicity tour over their respective political views, so that's probably best avoided.
I'll be very honest with you, there are several films here that I've never heard of, and am probably glad not to have.
Either way, the Razzies will be handed out on their traditional Oscar Eve slot - Saturday 14th March 2026. As the song from Frozen II says, some things never change...
Now we've had the palate cleanser, it's on to the main event. Tomorrow are the Oscar nominations. I've already put my predictions up so let's see how right (or wrong) I am!
