It's the day before the Oscar nominations are announced, and that means Razzies! Yes, the nominees for the awards that celebrate the best of the worst have been announced.
Not too many surprises this year: “Fifty Shades of Grey,” “Jupiter Ascending,” and “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” led the pack with six nominations each. Really the only surprise was that “Mortdecai” wasn't up there with them (it only got three noms). Oh, and that Julianne Moore was nominated. I didn't see “Seventh Son” but I can't imagine that she was bad enough in it to be considered one of the worst performances this year. She's Julianne Moore! And dubious congratulations are in order for Kevin James, who was nominated in several acting categories for his work last year.
Winners will be announced on February 27 — as always, the night before the Oscars are handed out.
