Sad clown: 'Joker 2,' Phoenix and Gaga nominated for Razzies
"Joker: Folie a Deux" was nominated for seven Razzies on Tuesday, leaving the sad clown atop the annual tongue-in-cheek list of the worst movies of the year.
The flop musical follow-up to 2019's billion-dollar-grossing "Joker" picked up unwanted nods such as worst picture and worst sequel.
Joaquin Phoenix -- who won best actor at the Oscars in the first "Joker" film -- is nominated for worst actor, alongside Lady Gaga for worst actress.
The film took in $200 million -- around one-fifth of its predecessor's box office, despite being far more expensive to make -- and was savaged by critics.
In a year of several high-profile expensive flops, the parody prizes awarded six nods to Francis Ford Coppola's confusing epic "Megalopolis," and Dakota Johnson's much-mocked superhero spin-off "Madame Web."
Fawning presidential biopic "Reagan" and video game adaptation "Borderlands" equally incurred the wrath of Razzie voters with six.
Jerry Seinfeld's "Unfrosted," a somewhat surreal original story for Pop-Tarts pastries, earned four.
Voted for by some 1,200 members of an irreverent group that any film fan can join, the Razzies -- or Golden Raspberries -- were created as an antidote to the movie industry's self-obsessed series of glitzy award shows.
Nominations for this year's Academy Awards will be announced Thursday.
