Fifty Shades of Grey

Ahead of the Oscar nominations later today, the Razzies have revealed their nods for some of 2015's worst films.

Fifty Shades of Grey found itself nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Actor for Jamie Dornan, Worst Actress for Dakota Johnson, and Worst Director for Sam Taylor-Johnson.

There were also six nominations for Pixels, Jupiter Ascending, and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 - all four films will go head to head in the Worst Picture category.

Fantastic Four completed the Worst Picture category as the superhero reboot picked up five nominations yesterday.

Dornan is joined on the Worst Actor list by Johnny Depp (Mortdecai), Kevin James (Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2), Adam Sandler (The Cobbler and Pixels), and Channing Tatum (Jupiter Ascending).

Sadly, there were more acting nominations for Fifty Shades of Grey and Jupiter Ascending as Dakota Johnson and Mila Kunis will go head to head for Worst Actress. Katherine Heigl (Home Sweet Hell), Jennifer Lopez (The Boy Next Door), and Gwyneth Paltrow (Mortdecai) are also in the mix.

Eddie Redmayne is expected to be in the Best Actor Oscar mix later today for his performance in The Danish Girl but his role in Jupiter Ascending saw him pick up a Worst Supporting Actor Razzie nomination. He is joined by Chevy Chase (Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and Vacation). Josh Gad (Pixels and The Wedding Ringer), Kevin James (Pixels), and Jason Lee (Alvin & The Chipmunks: Road Chip).

The Worst Supporting Actress category is made up by Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting (Alvin & The Chipmunks: Road Chip and The Wedding Ringer), Rooney Mara (Pan), Michelle Monaghan (Pixels), Julianne Moore (Seventh Son), and Amanda Seyfried (Love The Coopers and Pan).
