As the world of film gears up for the ultimate distinctions with the Oscars, the Razzies will be rewarding the worst in cinema. <br /><br />Top of this year’s worst movies is Adam Sandler’s comedy ‘Grown Ups 2’ with a total of eight nominations, including Worst Picture and Worst Actor. <br /><br />The US actor could soon hold the dubious record of winning three Razzies in a row. <br /><br />But, if it’s any consolation, he is not alone. <br /><br />“Other Worst Picture nominees include ‘The Lone Ranger’, which Disney admits lost $200 million (laughs),” says John Wilson, the founder of the Razzies.<br /><br />Starring Johnny Depp, who is up for his first ever Razzie for his role as Tonto, ‘The Lone Ranger’ received multiple nominations, including Worst Picture and Worst Director. <br /><br />Easing the pain, ‘The Lone Ranger’ is also nominated for an Oscar, for Best Makeup.<br /><br />But one movie seems to have received near unanimous negative reviews:<br /><br />“The one that seems to be in the forefront in the categories its in is ‘After Earth’. We’re saying it’s Will Smith and Jaden Smith on Planet Nepotism. It’s a movie that Will Smith put together to foist his child on the public. Cost $130 million. Didn’t even make $60 million,” says John Wilson. <br /><br />M Night Shyamalan’s futuristic post-apocalyptic tale ‘After Earth’ got a total of six Razzie nominations.<br /><br />The Razzies or Golden Raspberry Awards will be announced on 1 March, on the eve of the Academy Awards.
