Until this year, the Razzies Awards, which are given to the worst of Hollwood, have been handed out the day before the Oscars, but a new setup means that now the Razzie Nominations are released at Oscar time, with the ceremony taking place on April Fools Day.
It certainly isn’t Adam Sandler’s year, as with three critically-panned movies released by his Happy Madison Productions, he now totally dominates the list of contenders for The 32nd Annual Razzie Awards. He’s amassed an incredibly impressive 11 nominations as an actor, writer and/or producer on Jack and Jill, Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star and Just Go with It, more than doubling Eddie Murphy’s old record for the most nominations accrued by an individual in a single year.
Leading the pack for Worst Picture is Sandler’s cross-dressing comedy Jack and Jill, which received 12 nods in all (becoming only the 4th film in the Tacky Trophy’s history ever to get more dings than the awards have categories). Also selected as Worst Picture nominees for 2011 are Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star, New Year’s Eve, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. For the first time in Razzie history, all five nominated Worst Pictures are also vying for Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Ensemble.
