“Baywatch,” “The Emoji Movie,” “Fifty Shades Darker,” “The Mummy,” and “Transformers: The Last Knight” have been nominated as “worst picture” for the 38th annual Golden Raspberry Awards.
The nominees for the mock awards show were unveiled on Monday, a day before the Academy Awards nominations, with a video called “how to protect humanity from toxic waste.” Winners will be announced on March 3, the day before the Oscars ceremony.
“Welcome to the 38th Razzie Nominees,” the announcement said. “Simply defined, Razzie hazardous waste is material with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human health or the environment.”
The fifth “Transformers” movie, called “Transformers XVII: The Last Knight” in the announcement, led the pack with seven noms, including worst picture, worst actor for Mark Wahlberg, worst supporting actor for Josh Duhamel, worst supporting Actress for Laura Haddock, and worst director for Michael Bay.
Other actors on the list included Tom Cruise for “The Mummy,” Jennifer Lawrence for “Mother!,” Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan for “Fifty Shades Darker,” Emma Watson for “The Circle,” and Tyler Perry for “Boo 2! A Madea Halloween” (in the worst actress category).

Hollywood’s collective ego is such that they will allow this once-a-year mockery when, in reality, they should be mocked year-round for the bilge they pump into cinemas.
What was wrong with “the mummy”?
When “Mother” was test previewed, it was considered bad, and nothing could fix it, so it’s not unexpected.
If you were one of the 3 people that saw the latest iteration of the flick, you would know “what was wrong” with it. Right up there with Ishtar and Waterworld...
I take STRONG EXCEPTION to the Tyler Perry nomination. That movie was a crackup in a sea of tepid comedies.
I really don’t understand the universal hatred for Baywatch. I think the movie is hilarious as a comedy. It bears little resemblance to the original, but I thought the pairing of the Rock and Zac Ephron was inspired. They really played well off each other.
I wish she would show up like Sandra Bullock did. One day she picked up her Razzie and the next day she picked up her Oscar. I always that that was classy of her. Jennifer looks like she could have fun picking up the Razzie. I think she is hilarious during speeches and interviews.
Are we talking about the one with Tom Cruise ?
I didn’t think it was bad at all.
OK then. Never mind...

At least Waterworld had its funny moments.
I tend to avoid movies the Rotten audience pans — and tend to ignore the critics. But there’s the occasional blemished gem.
