As is tradition, the night before the Oscar ceremony takes place, the 37th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards will descend on Los Angeles to commemorate the worst that Hollywood had to offer in 2016. A mean-spirited diss-fest in the estimation of some, a good-natured ribbing to others, the so-called Razzies are twice as unpredictable and ten times as frank as the usual awards program. The expected categories of Worst Picture, Worst Director and Worst Actor/Actress share space with the distinctions of Worst Screen Combo and Worst Prequel, Remake, Ripoff, or Sequel at the ignominious ceremony. Some celebrities take the jokes in stride (Sandra Bullock famously showed up to receive her Worst Actress Razzie for All About Steve the day before she dropped by the Oscars to pick up her Best Actress prize for The Blind Side), but the program goes widely ignored by the industry overall.

This year, however, is special. With 2016 yielding a real bumper crop of tepid garbage, the Razzie coordinators have seen fit to expand each category from the usual five nominees to six. This made room for all of 2016’s biggest stinkburgers, from the paranoid propaganda picture Hillary’s America to the indecipherable, unforgivable Gods of Egypt. The two champions/“champions” of this nomination cycle, however, were Batman V Superman with a whopping eight nominations and Zoolander 2 with nine. Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and Jesse Eisenberg all received individual citations for their performances, and director Zack Snyder landed his head on the chopping block as well. (For my money, the most deliciously cruel nomination falls under the Worst Screen Combo category, calling out “The Entire Cast of Once Respected Actors” of Collateral Beauty.)
