2015 Razzie nominations: 'Transformers,' 'Blended,' 'TMNT' lead the pack
The most important nominations of the awards season have been announced.
Transformers: Age of Extinction, Adam Sandler's Blended, and Kirk Cameron are the front-runners for this year's "prestigious" Golden Raspberry Awards!
NEWS: Kim K. Wins Razzie For Worst Actress
The 35th annual Razzies, which recognize some of Hollywood's "Worst Achievements in Film," are going to be a tight race this year. Transformers: Age of Extinction leads with seven nominations, but the film is going up against some other truly hated entries such as The Legend of Hercules, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.
Some of the more interesting nominations, however, come in the acting categories, where Blended star Adam Sandler and Tammy star Melissa McCarthy are both nominated for Worst Actor and Worst Actress respectively – despite having just won People's Choice Awards on Jan. 7.
Even more surprising is the Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel nomination for the musical Annie, which was also nominated for two Golden Globes this year.

It seems, however, that Michael Bay is the real star this year. Between Transformers: Age of Extinction – which he directed – and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – which he produced – Bay's work earned 11 nominations in total.
Check out the complete list of nominees below. The "winners" will be announced Saturday, Feb. 21 - the night before the Academy Awards.
