LOS ANGELES (CNS) - On the eve of the coveted and ever-so-serious Academy Award nominations being announced, nominees for the Oscars' ugly cousin, the 2021 Golden Raspberry Awards, have been revealed -- with Netflix's ``Diana the Musical,'' garnering a leading nine nods in the 42nd annual parade of dishonor, including ``Worst Picture.''
``Karen,'' a widely panned dramedy, and ``The Woman in the Window,'' a tepidly reviewed Hitchcock ``re-imagining,'' were next with five nominations apiece, including Worst Picture, according to the Golden Raspberry Foundation, which presents the Razzies.
While Lakers' star LeBron James did not win an NBA title in 2021, he still has a chance to take home some hardware for his airball of a performance in ``Space Jam: A New Legacy,'' which snagged four nominations, including Worst Picture, along with James' nod for Worst Actor.
Amy Adams, ``an otherwise great actress,'' according to Golden Raspberry Foundation, scored the doubly dubious distinction of being nominated for both Worst Actress (``The Woman in the Window'') and Worst Supporting Actress (``Dear Evan Hansen'').
And Bruce Willis, a Razzie regular, was so prolific in 2021 that the Razzies gave him his own special category -- Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie ... in which Willis netted eight noms.
The Razzies' 1,128 voting members (``from 49 U.S. states and over two dozen foreign countries,'' according to the organization) cast their ballots online, selecting five contenders in each of the nine non-Bruce Willis categories.
``Winners'' will be announced on March 26 -- Oscar Eve.
