28th Annual Razzies Nominations

The Razzies are given to the worst movies and performances of the year, and are awarded the night before the Oscars (which might not have a telecast this year).

According to their website:
Nominees were determined by mailing ballots to 747 voters in 44 U.S. states and 18 foreign countries. The RAZZIES® were created in 1980 as a logical antidote to Tinsel Town’s annual glut of self-congratulations by John Wilson, author of EVERYTHING I KNOW I LEARNED AT THE MOVIES . . .
