“Fifty Shades” leads Razzies nods

The contenders for the worst films of the year have been announced, with “Fifty Shades of Grey” dominating the nominations. It is up for six Razzies - including worst picture, worst director, worst actor and worst actress. “Jupiter Ascending”, “Pixels”, and “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” also have six nods each for the Golden Raspberry Awards, to be announced next month.

The awards launched in 1980 as a spoof of the Oscars. Nominees for the Razzies have been named the day before the Oscars shortlist is announced.

Superhero film “Fantastic Four”, sci-fi adventure “Jupiter Ascending”, comedy “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” and Adam Sandler's video game film “Pixels” complete the line-up for worst picture.

Sandler is Razzie-nominated for a fifth consecutive year and could pick up awards for worst actor, for “Pixels” and “The Cobbler”, and worst screen combo. Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow gets a worst actress nod for comedy heist “Mortdecai” - with co-star Johnny Depp scoring two nominations, for worst actor and worst screen combo for his partnership with his glued-on moustache.

The winners will be announced in Hollywood on February 27 - the day before the Oscars ceremony - having been voted for online by around 900 members of the Razzies committee.
