Razzie Awards Announce 'Winners' of Cinema's Worst of the Worst

The crop of cinematic crap in 2016 was so extensive that this year's 37th Annual Razzie® Awards is expanding from 5 nominees to an unprecedented 6 contenders in each of its 9 Worst Achievement in Film categories. Leading this year's list of movie-misfires are the 15-years-too-late sequel Zoolander No. 2 and the WTF comic book battle-royale Batman v Superman. Each is up for both Worst Picture and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel. Other Worst Picture nominees include Dirty Grandpa, Gods of Egypt, Hillary's America and Independence Day: Resurgence. Acting contenders include Ben Affleck, Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts and Robert de Niro.

"Winners" of this year's tackiest Tinsel Town trophy were revealed on Saturday, February 25 - the now traditional day before the 89th Annual Giving Out of the Little Gold Naked Men. Voting Razzie Members (1,014 from 49 US States and 24 countries) selected contenders in 8 of our 9 categories. While Batman v Superman dominated in nominations, Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party came out the big winner.
