'Blonde' leads the Golden Raspberry nominations
The Marilyn Monroe biopic, which stars Ana de Armas as the Hollywood icon, has been bestowed with eight nominations in the annual celebration of the worst films and performances of the year.
Organisers of the event, also known as the Razzies, said that Andrew Dominik's movie "'explores' the exploitation of Marilyn Monroe... by continuing to exploit her posthumously".
'Good Mourning', a stoner comedy by the rapper and singer Machine Gun Kelly, received seven nods and will compete with 'Blonde' for the dubious honour of worst picture.
Disney's "unnecessary" remake of 'Pinocchio' is also up for worst picture along with 'The King's Daughter' and 'Morbius'.
Tom Hanks and Pete Davidson have received multiple nominations and are both up for worst actor and worst supporting actor.
Hanks was recognised for his portrayal of Gepetto in 'Pinocchio' and his "latex-laden, ludicrously accented" portrayal of Colonel Tom Parker in Baz Luhrmann's acclaimed biopic 'Elvis'.
Davidson was nominated for his voice role in 'Marmaduke' and his cameo appearance in 'Good Mourning'.
Machine Gun Kelly landed four nominations for 'Good Mourning' – worst actor, worst screen couple (with singer Mod Sun), worst director and worst screenplay (with Mod Sun).
The 'winners' of the Razzie Awards will be announced on March 11, the day before the Academy Awards.
