A scene from the movie "Transformers: Age of Extinction"
The day before the announcement of the nominees for the Oscar, by tradition, a list of applicants for the Golden Raspberry Prize is published - awards for the most dubious achievements in the field of cinema. The organizers select the worst films, actors, directors, scripts and screen ensemble. This year, for the first time, there was a positive award - "For the restoration of reputation."
The leader in the number of nominations this time was the film "Transformers: Age of Extermination". Michael Bay's film has received as many as seven nominations: Worst Film, Worst Supporting Actress, Worst Supporting Actor, Worst Director, Worst Sequel, Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Ensemble.
The Golden Raspberry has been awarded since 1981. The prizes are awarded based on the votes of over 500 anonymous members from 12 countries. The prize is a plastic raspberry covered in gold paint from a spray bottle. Each prize is worth less than $ 5.
This year there was a new award, for the first time in history, bearing a positive character - "For the restoration of reputation." Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Keanu Reeves, Mike Myers and Kristen Stewart are nominated for it. All of them were nominees or laureates of the "Golden Raspberry", but managed to rehabilitate themselves last year.
