Director Michael Bay's special
effects spectacle "Transformers: Age of Extinction" led all movies in
ignominy with seven Razzie Awards nominations, including worst picture,
screenplay and director. Action fantasy film "The Legend of Hercules"
and faith-based film "Saving Christmas" starring Kirk Cameron trailed
close behind with six nods each for the year's "worst achievements in
film," organizers of the 35th Golden Raspberry Awards said on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's formal announcement.
Winners of the Razzies,
an annual tongue-in-cheek antidote to Hollywood's awards season, will be
announced on Feb. 21, the eve of the Academy Awards. "Transformers" was
the fifth most popular film at the U.S. box office in 2014 with $245
million in ticket sales. It has earned more
than $1 billion worldwide. Worst picture nominees also include
"Hercules," "Saving Christmas," action-comedy "Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles," and thriller "Left Behind" starring Nicolas Cage. Organizers
called this year's batch of contenders the "cinematic equivalent of
re-treaded tires."
