One day before the Oscar nominations are made public and the Razzie’s have announced their nominees for the worst of the worst in film.

Unlike most years, when only five films are nominated for each Worst Achievement in Film category, there are now six contenders because there was so much “cinematic crap” in 2016.

Zoolander No. 2 and Batman v Superman lead the pack of ‘losers,’ while Dirty Grandpa, Independence Day: Resurgence, and God’s of Egypt are also up for multiple awards.

Of course, some of those nominated are easy targets - was Ben Affleck that bad in Batman v Superman? - there’s a remarkable lack of Nine Lives, which was 2016’s worst film according to Metacritic.
