Adam Sandler’s video game adventure Pixels among the top nominees, while Sylvester Stallone is nominated for a redemption award.
As awards season heats up in Hollywood, the annual Razzies Awards on Wednesday named the year’s worst achievements in film with steamy romance Fifty Shades of Grey and Adam Sandler’s video game adventure Pixels among the top nominees, while Sylvester Stallone was honoured with a redemption.
Fifty Shades of Grey, Pixels, sci-fi saga Jupiter Ascending, comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, all of which landed six nominations, and superhero Fantastic 4, which landed five nods, will compete for the Razzies worst picture award.
The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, created in 1980, serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s prestigious Oscars ceremony, as organisers choose to bestow winners of the year’s worst films with a gold spray-painted trophy worth $4.97.
Stallone, who won his first Golden Globe last week for reprising his iconic role as Rocky Balboa in Creed, is nominated for the Razzie Redeemer Award, going from an “all-time Razzie champ to 2015 award contender.”
