The 2016 Golden Raspberry/Razzie Awards!

Alright, here's my guesses on all nominees, based on the pre-nominees:

Worst Picture:
-Fant4stic
-Fifty Shades of Grey
-Mortdecai
-Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
-Pixels

-Johnny Depp (Mortdecai)

Worst Actress:
-Katherine Heigl (Home Sweet Hell)
-Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey)
-Jennifer Lopez (The Boy Next Door)
-Kate Mara (Fant4stic)
-Gwyneth Paltrow (Mortdecai)

Worst Supporting Actor:

-Ellen Barkin (The Cobbler)
-Kaley Cuoco (Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip/The Wedding Ringer)
-Melonie Diaz (The Cobbler)
-Michelle Monaghan (Pixels)
-Amanda Seyfried (Love the Coopers/Pan)

Worst Director:
-Chris Columbus (Pixels)
-Andy Fickman (Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2)
-David Koepp (Mortdecai)
-Sam Taylor-Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey)
-Josh Trank (and Alan Smithee?) (Fant4stic)

Worst Screenplay:
-Fant4stic
-Fifty Shades of Grey
-Jupiter Ascending
-Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
-Pixels

Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel:
-Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip
-Fant4stic
-Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
-Taken 3
-Terminator Genisys

Worst Screen Combo:
-Adam Sandler and any pair of his shoes (The Cobbler)
-All Four "Fantastics" (Fant4stic)
-Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey)
-Kevin James and either his segue or his glued-on mustache (Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2)
-Adam Sandler and his "bro posse" (Pixels)

Note: Some of these are pure guesses with little/no basis on my part. Also, it hurts a little to see actors with such potential give such poor performances that they ended up on this list.

But the Razzies are, possibly, even more cynical than the Oscars. Pretty much no one cares anyway, but imagine if you hadn't heard of many/most of the nominees? That said, I prefer it this way, as surely the bigger 'crime' is to have plenty of talent and/or money and waste it than have little of either/both and do what you can with it?

Overall, I think I made a decent attempt at predicting these.

I really didn't hate Fifty Shades of Gray as much as everyone else did.

I think Fantastic Four will win the most this year, it was no where near as bad as Pixels.

I think they should retire the Worst Screen Combo catagory it they can't find any actual combos. Things like Johnny Depp and his moustache are stupid.

And Star Wars fanboys too!

Be fair, the Razzies probably would've been finished had they put up any Star Wars nominations.

That's how I feel about Jupiter Ascending, it's not a good movie, with a mediocre/bad script and directing that didn't make much sense... But the actors did what they could with what they were given.

So, what do you call to what Carrie Fischer did on that screen? Because I can't imagine any nominated actress doing worse than that!

This does not say much for your imagination.

But now you're taking them seriously. Are these the worst performances of the year? Are they ever? If someone in a film you don't take shots at puts in a stinker, do you really think they'll point it out? They'd be finished. At the very least, it'd damage their brand.

That was my point.
