2019 Razzie Awards Ignore Superhero Movies, Full List of Nominees Announced

The Academy Award nominations are set to be announced this week, honoring the best that film had to offer in 2018. The job of recognizing the worst of the medium every year falls to The Razzie Awards, whose nominees were announced on Monday morning.

Much to the joy of nerds everywhere, there was a shift in the nominees this year, as The Razzies largely ignored superhero films. Comic book adaptations are usually well-represented in the "worst of movies" awards, but 2018 managed to miss the carnage altogether. Even Venom, which was largely hated by critics despite being adored by fans, was spared from the nominations.

Instead, movies like The Happytime Murders, Gotti, Robin Hood, and Holmes & Watson were the "favorites" amongst Razzie voters this year. Donald Trump even managed to get a couple of nominations.
