It’s that time of year again: A day before Hollywood celebrates its best of the year with Oscar nominations comes the salute to the worst, the nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards. 

The fourth Expendables movie, Expend4bles, led the pack with seven nominations, followed by The Exorcist: Believer with five, tied with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.

On the not-so-superhero side, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania tied Shazam: Fury of the Gods with four, and the horror film Meg 2: The Trench earned three.
