Jupiter Ascending leads 2016 Razzie nominations

Pixels got some attention, too

Jupiter Ascending, Fifty Shades of Grey and Pixels lead the nominations for this year's Razzie Awards, the committee announced on Wednesday.

The 36th annual awards, which take pride in picking out the worst films and performances from the previous year, will be handed out on the eve of the Oscars.

Tied for the lead is the Wachowski siblings' Jupiter Ascending and Sam Taylor-Johnson's Fifty Shades of Grey, with each pulling in a total of six nominations. Both films scored in all the top categories, too, including Worst Movie, Worst Actor and Worst Actress.

It's not all negative, though. Each year, the Razzies offer an award for Best Redeemer. The idea is to hand the award out to someone who has received a Razzie in the past, but who starred or directed a film in the contending year that brought them back to the forefront of entertainment. This year, Will Smith, Elizabeth Banks, Sylvester Stallone and M. Night Shyamalan all garnered nominations for their work.

The Razzies, which are voted on by 900 members across 47 states and 21 different countries, will be handed out on Feb. 27. The full list of nominations are listed below.
