Who needs the Oscars, with their pomp and circumstance, their glitz and glam? If you're like me and enjoy a good bit of schadenfreude, it's the Razzies that you should be paying attention to. And this year, the nominees are strong. Downright superhuman, in fact.

Yup, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has nabbed eight nominations, including "worst picture" and "worst director." As bad as that may sound, it's actually Zoolander 2 that has the most nominations this year, including "worst picture," "worst director," and two nods in the category of "worst supporting actor."

Personally, I kinda liked Dawn of Justice - or at least parts of it - and felt that Suicide Squad was the more flawed of DC's offerings. But hey, I don't make the rules. For better or worse (okay, definitely worse) this is the full list of nominees at the 2016 Razzies. The … erm, "winners" will be crowned on February 25:
