Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe’s “The Mummy” reboot also gets its share of awards-season ridicule
Not only did Paramount’s “Transformers: The Last Knight” disappoint at the box office, it disappointed enough to draw the attention of the Razzies.
The umpteenth installment in the CG action franchise landed nine nominations for the 38th annual Golden Raspberry Awards on Monday, followed closely by eight for Universal’s “Fifty Shades Darker.” The studio’s Tom Cruise-Russell Crowe “Mummy” reboot nabbed a nearly-as-embarassing seven.
“Winners” of this year’s tacky Tinsel Town trophy will be revealed on Saturday, March 3 — one day before another L.A.-based Academy bestows its own statuettes for more positive achievement in the cinematic arts.
Voting Razzie members (1,009 film buffs, entertainment journalists and other strongly opinionated movie goers from 49 states and 25 foreign countries) cast their ballots online, selecting five final contenders in nine categories.
