Worst of 2018: Helen Mirren and John Travolta top Razzie Awards nominations

They may be some of the most well-known stars in Hollywood, but every year major actors and actresses are singled out and left red-faced in the annual Razzie Awards.

And 2018 is no different, as everyone from Helen Mirren and John Travolta to the Trumps and Jennifer Garner have been singled out as the worst actors and actresses in movies.

The Golden Raspberry awards, more commonly known as the Razzies, mock the ‘worst of the worst’ in the movie industry, with categories including Worst Actor and Actress, Worst Picture, Worst Supporting Actor and Actress and more.

Once eagerly-anticipated films including Happytime Murders, Winchester and Fifty Shades Freed were singled out for their spectacular cinematic flops, while Holmes & Watson, Robin Hood and Gotti all got a nod too.

Elsewhere, while US President Donald Trump isn’t known for his acting abilities, he did appear in documentaries Fahrenheit 11/9 and Death of a Nation last year – and he’s received nominations in both the Worst Actor and the Worst Screen Combo categories. He’s not alone, and First Lady Melania Trump was also named and shamed alongside counsellor for the White House, Kellyanne Conway, in the Worst Supporting Actress category.

Topping the list however, three movies earned six nominations each including Holmes & Watson starring hit actor Will Ferrell, Death of a Nation and The Happytime Murders.
