Golden Raspberry Awards shortlist for the worst of 2010

With the Academy Awards fast approaching it seems you can't turn anywhere at the moment without being bombarded by an endless stream of awards shortlists, churning out the same familiar faces such as Black Swan, Inception, The King's Speech, The Social Network and True Grit. Well, one shortlist that everyone in Hollywood will be looking to avoid is the nominees for the 31st annual Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a. The Razzies, which of course celebrates the very worst in cinematic offerings from the past twelve months.

While the nominees won't be officially announced until January 24th, the longlist for the 'coveted' Worst Picture award has made its way onto the internet this week, along with details on some of the other categories and contenders...

Worst Picture nominees...

The Bounty Hunter (dir. Andy Tennant)
Clash of the Titans (dir. Louis Leterrier)
The Expendables (dir. Sylvester Stallone)
Grown Ups (dir. Dennis Dugan)
Jonah Hex (dir. Jimmy Hayward)

Although it wasn't fortunate enough to secure a 'Worst Picture' nod, the critical abomination Burlesque pulled in a host of nominations including Worst Actress, with Christina Aguilera batting it out against the Golden Globe-nominated Angelina Jolie (The Tourist) for the gong. Meanwhile Jessica Alba gets FOUR cracks at Worst Supporting Actress (The Killer Inside Me, Little Fockers, Machete, Valentine's Day) with George Lopez one behind in the Worst Supporting Actor category (Marmaduke, The Spy Next Door, Valentine's Day). This year also sees the inauguration of the newly-created 'Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D' award, featuring the likes of Piranha 3D, The Nutcracker in 3D and Resident Evil: Afterlife.

The 31st Golden Raspberry Awards are scheduled to take place in Hollywood on February 26th, one day before the stars descend on the red carpet for the 83rd Academy Awards.
