Precursor: 38th Golden Raspberry Nominations (2017)
These are copies directly from the Razzie press release, so the fudged title names are entirely their doing, though I get some mild humor from the “Dead Careers Tell No Tales” dig at Johnny Depp. Announced the day before the Oscar nominations, the Razzies have always gone for low-hanging fruit or popular actors doing bad…
