'50 Shades Of Grey' And 'Pixels' Lead The 2016 Razzie Nominations

The 2016 Razzie nominations are here and, as always, they're patently ridiculous and squander a fun premise so they can pick on obvious and occasionally undeserving targets while ignoring the movies that actually deserve your scorn.

But let's back up for a moment. The 2016 "Golden Raspberry" nominations, which "celebrate" the worst movies of the year and act as a sort of anti-Oscars, have been revealed. 50 Shades of Grey, Pixels, and Fantastic Four lead the pack. You can check out the full list of nominees below.

50 Shades of Grey was the big "winner" this year, scoring six nominations for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Onscreen Combo, Worst Screenplay and Worst Director. Pixels and Fantastic Four followed closely behind with five nominations apiece, sharing nods for Worst Picture, Worst Director, and Worst Screenplay. Other contenders include The Cobbler, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, Jupiter Ascending, Mortdecai, and Seventh Son.

And this is the part where anyone who actually watched most of these movies sighs and finds a smooth, not-too-hard surface to bang their head against. Although most of the nominees for Worst Picture are indisputably bad movies, most of these are far from the worst movies of the year. How does Jupiter Ascending, a movie bursting with imagination and originality even when it doesn't quite click, rank here when the derivative and poorly made Hitman: Agent 47 is nowhere to be found? Why is Pixels, a bad movie for sure, not sharing this space with Chappie, a sci-fi comedy that is actually far worse? And then there's the leader of the pack, 50 Shades of Grey. It's not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but its greatest sin is being a little too bland and a little too boring. Anyone who actually watched it knows that it is far from the worst movie of the year. It just has a target painted on its back.

As usual, the Razzies are more about picking on movie stars and being hipper-than-thou than they are about singling out truly awful movies. If that was their real mission, The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence and Terminator: Genisys would reign supreme across these nominations. As always, these nominations are more lame than anything else.

Except for Fantastic Four. They got that one right. What a genuinely perplexing disaster that was. Here is the complete list of nominees:
