Razzie Awards Nominations Include Shazam! 2 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Razzie Award nominations for 2024 are now out, and the big superhero movie franchises are definitely in the mix. 

Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and DC's Shazam! Fury of the Gods both landed on the Razzies nominations list. Ant-Man 3 landed nominations for "Worst Supporting Actor" (Michael Douglas and Bill Murray), as well as "Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel"; Shazam! 2 earned nominations in categories of "Worst Picture," "Worst Actress" (Dame Helen Mirren), "Worst Supporting Actress" (Lucy Liu), and "Worst Screenplay." 

In addition to the Marvel and DC films, the Razzies nominations also include extensive nominations for Expend4bles, The Exorcist: Believer, Meg 2: The Trench, and Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey. A few isolated nominations were given out for films like Five Nights at Freddy's ("Worst Supporting Actress" for Maury Stuart Masterson), Magic Mike's Last Dance ("Worst Actress" for Salma Hayek), Ghosted ("Worst Actor" and "Worst Actress" for Chris Evans and Ana de Armas), and Fast X ("Worst Actor" for Vin Diesel). Some veteran actors and celebrities took hits: Megan Fox got Worst Actress and Worst Supporting Actress nominations (Expend4bles, Johnny & Clyde); Russell Crowe (The Pope's Exorcist); Jon Voight (Mercy); Jennifer Lopez (The Mother); Kim Cattrall (About My Father), and Sylvester Stallone (Expend4bles). 

"After strikes, lingerings of a worldwide plague and a general sense of universal agoraphobia, the decline of the cinematic experience goes without saying," reads a statement from The Razzies organizers. "Thankfully, a doll pic and a bomb movie jump-started the Industry, which still left behind a trail of Pooh for the Razzies to pick up!"
