Julia Roberts and Her Mother's Day Wig Lead 2017 Razzie Nominations

Tyler Perry's wig also got some Razzie love/hate. 

As per tradition, the Golden Raspberries, aka The Razzies, are announced the day before the Oscars--you know, to avoid competition--and this year's crop of nominees is as shady as any in its 37 (yes, 37) year history.

It's no big secret that Hollywood's output is about 85% turkeys, and last year was no different with the Moonlights and the La La Lands and the Manchesters by the Sea being few and far between. But Julia Roberts' wig in (the trailer for) Mother's Day was a bright spot, wasn't it? Mostly because it was the same wig from a much better movie.

Sadly, that wig was not enough to elevate Mother's Day from its Hallmark greeting card roots, and La Roberts received a Worst Actress Razzies nomination for her work (or lack thereof). She'll face off against Boo! A Madea Halloween's Tyler Perry--because The Razzies are equal-opportunity haters--who is also up for Worst Screen Combo with, and I quote, "That Same Old Worn Out Wig."

But the shade didn't stop there, in fact, the Worst Screen Combo category is just one long extended stay at Shady Pines:

Ben Affleck & His BFF (Baddest Foe Forever) Henry Cavill, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Any 2 Egyptian Gods or Mortals, Gods of Egypt
Johnny Depp & His Vomitously Vibrant Costume, Alice Through the Looking Glass
The Entire Cast of Once Respected Actors, Collateral Beauty
Tyler Perry & That Same Old Worn Out Wig, Boo! A Madea Halloween
Ben Stiller and His BFF (Barely Funny Friend) Owen Wilson, Zoolander No. 2

Yikes. "The Entire Cast of Once Respected Actors" is almost as brutal as...well, Collateral Beauty. And remember Gods of Egypt, also known as that movie about Egypt without any people of color? That trainwreck scored five Razzies nominations, but that's nothing compared to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zoolander 2, both with an impressive (?) eight.

National treasures Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig are up for Worst Supporting Actor and Actress, respectively, and I almost hope those two crazy kids win. Over the years, numerous A-listers have actually showed up to The Razzies to collect their award and a Ferrell/Wiig acceptance speech would surely be better than anything in Zoolander 2.

The Razzies also got political this year, nominating a movie called Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, a popular right-wing documentary with a Rotten Tomatoes score of a whopping 4%, for five awards.

Also of note, Oscar-winner Jared Leto (honestly, the number of Oscar-winners and nominees in this year's list is staggering) is up for his much-ballyhooed turn as The Joker in Suicide Squad, while Stonewall revisionist Roland Emmerich will compete for Worst Director for Independence Day: Resurgence.
