Adam Sandler Leads 2012 Razzie Nominations

So, change of plans for the the Razzies this year… they will be announcing the winners on April Fool’s Day, instead of the day before the Oscars. Hilariously fitting, right? In order to continue riding the wave of Oscar press coverage, however, they decided to unveil their nominees over the weekend. I think you can probably guess most of the films that are nominated before you even read the list, but for the sake of convenience, here is a basic summary.
The four most obvious targets this year are Transformers: Dark of the Moon, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1, Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star and Jack & Jill, with a little bit of New Year’s Eve, The Hangover: Part II and Martin Lawrence sprinkled throughout. I’m not sure how Arthur really deserves to be in here, but I digress. The big news is that Adam Sandler has broken the record for most nominations in one year; he picked up a total of 11. Kudos to him! So what do you think, are these the worst movies and performances of 2011? Check out the full list of nominees after the jump.

They left out Battle L.A., Cars 2, and Sucker Punch.
Posted by Zac on February 27th, 2012The Tree of Life should be on here, a 2 and a half hour screen saver of a movie was my pick for worst flick of the year.
Posted by Mike H on February 27th, 2012Battle L.A. was probably the worst movie that I saw this year, although I’m sure Bucky Larson and Jack and Jill were worse. I would throw some love for Real Steel in there as well.
Posted by Matt McNeely on February 27th, 2012i love the the fact that the razzies exist but their noms are pretty uninspired its pretty much the same films filling every category
