The Razzie Shortlist Is In, and BATMAN V SUPERMAN Fans Won't Be Happy About It
Awards season is upon us. The Golden Globes were last night, which means the Oscars aren't too far away. But if you're a diehard fan of the DC Extended Universe and you're hoping to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad pull in some awards, you might have better luck tuning in to a different award show altogether: the Razzies, the show that "honors" the worst movies of the year.
BvS shows up more than any other movie on the shortlist of possible nominations that came out this weekend, scoring nominations for Worst Screenplay, two for Worst Supporting Actor (Jesse Eisenberg and Jeremy Irons), two for Worst Actor (Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill), Worst Director (Zack Snyder), Worst Sequel, and Worst Picture of the year. Take a look at the full list of contenders below (via The Playlist), and air your grievances in the comments section. There still may be time to influence the outcome somehow, because the nominations don't arrive until January 23rd.
