A day before Hollywood announces the Oscar nominations, the Golden Raspberry Awards has unveiled the contenders for this year's worst films of the year.

The awards, also known as Razzies, honour the poorest work in filmmaking, with Transformers: The Last Knight and Fifty Shades Darker topping the list.

The latest Transformers instalment bagged nine nominations – one for every category except Worst Actress.

Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel and Anthony Hopkins have all been slated for their performances in the Michael Bay-directed film which was widely panned by critics.

But it will face tough competition from The Emoji Movie, The Mummy, Baywatch and Fifty Shades Darker.

The second adaption in EL James’ best-selling sex-obsessed trilogy is up for eight gongs including Worst Screen Combo for “any combination of two characters, two sex toys or two sexual positions”.

The film’s stars, Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, have also been nominated for Worst Actress and Actor, respectively,

Oscar winners Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp are also up for the worst actor gongs.
