Razzies Get Political This Year

Anyone who follows movie reviews will probably not be surprised to learn that Holmes & Watson is among the movies leading the way in this year's Razzie nominations, the anti-Oscars given for worst performances. Critics savaged the Sherlock Holmes flick starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Raunchy puppet movie the Happytime Murders and mob biopic Gotti, with John Travolta, tied Holmes & Watson with six nominations each, per USA Today. The Razzies were particularly political this year, with President Trump nominated as best actor in the documentaries Death of a Nation and Fahrenheit 11/9. Melania Trump and Kellyanne Conway also got nominations. Winners will be announced on Feb. 23. Highlights:

• Worst picture: Gotti, The Happytime Murders, Holmes & Watson, Robin Hood, and Winchester.
