It’s shaping up to be one of the great movie face-offs of the year: Batman v Superman v Zoolander. The nominees for the Golden Raspberry awards, AKA the Razzies, have been announced, and it looks like it will be a titanic battle to the death between the superhero smackdown movie and the cameo-bedecked fashion-industry satire.

In fact, Zoolander 2 leads the nomination list with nine, including worst actor and supporting actor for Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, as well as one for the pair as a “screen combo”. (Stiller gets another personal nom as worst director.) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is just behind on eight, with Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill duelling for worst actor, and hitherto acclaimed performer Jesse Eisenberg in the worst supporting list.

An outlier in the awards – which normally focuses on the poorest of commercial cinema – is the agit-prop documentary Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, for which Dinesh D’Souza takes worst actor and worst director (with Bruce Schooley) nominations among its total of five.

The organisers of this year’s awards, the 37th, said 2016 was an exceptional year for terrible films. “The crop of cinematic crap in 2016 was so extensive that this year’s awards is expanding from five nominees to an unprecedented six contenders.”

The winners will be announced on 25 February.
