Along with the Oscars, The 36th Golden Raspberry Awards were also held over the weekend. Unlike the esteemed Academy Awards, however, the Golden Raspberry Awards are given to movies that are considered the worst of the worst in the film industry. These awards are given based on voting from the Golden Raspberry Foundation.
The 36th Golden Raspberry Awards Recap
There was a total of 17 movies that received nominations for the awards! Leading the pack were 4 movies that each received 6 nominations each: Fifty Shades of Grey, Jupiter Ascending, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and Pixels; Fantastic Four with 5 nominations each; Mortdecai and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip with 3 nominations each; The Cobbler, The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence), Hot Tub Time Machine 2, The Wedding Ringer and Pan received 2 nominations each and Home Sweet Hell, The Boy Next Door, Vacation, Seventh Son and Love the Coopers each received 1 nomination each.
The Golden Raspberry Awards are always held the night before the Academy Awards and are usually not televised. Here are the nominees and winners. There are only ten awards given out. So, let me hear your opinions, do you agree or disagree with the winner or even the nominations? Oh, there were two movies that received the award for Worst Picture.

Well, here is what I think! I did not like Fantastic Four, and I hated Fifty Shades of Grey so for those 2 to get Worst Picture is not a huge surprise to me at all. The two leads on Fifty Shades of Grey won the award for Worst Actor and Worst Actress. Again, no big surprise there! I was surprised about Eddie Redmayne getting the award for Worst Supporting Actor for his role as Bale in Jupiter Ascending. While I did not like the movie at all, I think he is a talented actor. After all, he won an Oscar last year and was nominated this year.
