While Hollywood's elites are gearing up for the highly-anticipated Oscars nominations, another coveted nominee list has just been released: the 2021 Razzies.
The Razzie Awards, now in their 42nd year, are the self-described "ugly cousin to the Oscars" and call out the productions from the year gone by that critics love to hate.
Lebron James and Megan Fox are among those nominated for the worst lead performances, Diana the Musical has been savaged as "the Netflix version of Broadway’s biggest bomb of the year", and Bruce Willis has earned himself an entire category: Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie.
