“Transformers: Age of Extinction” Leads Nominees for Razzie Awards

Paramount Pictures(LOS ANGELES) — Transformers: Age of Extinction earned nearly $250 million at the domestic box office last summer, but the folks behind the Golden Raspberry Awards — more commonly known as the Razzies — were not impressed.

The fourth film in the Transformers series has received a leading seven nominations for the 35th Annual Razzie Awards, which will recognize what its voters feel were the worst movies of the past year.

Transformers: Age of Extinction — referred to by the Razzies as the “Age of Ex-STINK-Tion” and “Trannies #4” — is nominated for worst picture, worst screenplay, worst sequel, worst screen combo, worst director for Michael Bay, worst supporting actor for Kelsey Grammer, and worst supporting actress for Nicola Peltz. The film’s lead star, Mark Wahlberg, escaped the wrath of the Razzies.

Grammer is not only nominated for Transformers: Age of Extinction, but also for his performances in The Expendables 3, Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return and Think Like a Man Too.

Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas and the Kellan Lutz film The Legend of Hercules each picked up six nominations. They join Transformers as contenders for worst picture, as do Left Behind and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The winners will be announced Feb. 21 — the night before the Oscars.
