• Jan 22, 2024

AceShowbiz - Sylvester Stallone's "Expend4bles" dominates the list of Razzie nominees. The action-adventure movie - which also stars the likes of Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Megan Fox - has vied for seven Golden Raspberry Awards in total, including Worst Supporting Actor for Stallone and Worst Supporting Actress for Megan.

Meanwhile, "The Exorcist: Believer" and "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" have received five nominations each.

"The Exorcist: Believer", "Expend4bles", and "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" are all among the nominees for the Worst Picture gong. However, they face competition from "Meg 2: The Trench" and "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" for the gong.

What's more, "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" has been nominated for Worst Screenplay and Worst Rip-Off while Pooh and Piglet are among the nominees for the Worst On-Screen Couple gong.

During the announcement of the nominees, the Razzie organisers said, "After strikes, lingerings of a worldwide plague and a general sense of universal agoraphobia, the decline of the cinematic experience goes without saying. Thankfully, a doll pic and a bomb movie jump-started the industry, which still left a trail of Pooh behind for the Razzies to pick up!"

The Razzies recognise the biggest cinematic flops of the year and the award winners will be announced on March 9, the day before the Oscars. The list of nominees actually features a number of former Oscar winners, including Dame Helen Mirren and Russell Crowe while the likes of Megan Fox and Jennifer Lopez have both previously won Razzies.
