The Razzies announce this year's nominations, with 'Joker: Folie à Deux' in the lead
By Lisa Respers France, CNN
(CNN) — The nominees for the best of the worst of cinema – the awards known as the Razzies – were released Tuesday, and the oft-derided “Joker” sequel led the pack.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” scored seven nominations including worst actor and actress for stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, respectively, followed by “Borderlands,“ “Madame Web,” “Megalopolis” and “Reagan” with six apiece. (“Joker: Folie à Deux” was produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, which like CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.)
The Golden Raspberry Awards (the formal name for the Razzies) celebrate what they view as Hollywood’s duds in cinema since they began in the early 1980s. In keeping with its history, the “winners” are announced the day before the Academy Awards ceremony.
