Transformers: The Last Knight Receives Multiple Razzie Nominations

In what has unfortunately become a tradition for the franchise, Transformers: The Last Knight "won" multiple nominations for The 38th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards. The awards are an anti-Oscar as it "rewards" the worst movies of the year with the nominations announced the day before the Oscar nominations (aka "the best" movies of the year). Pretty much the entire lead adult cast, writers and Michael Bay scored nominations but on the bright side the movie has some strong competition with Fifty Shades Darker, The Mummy, Baywatch, Mother and others also getting multiple nominations. While I was not a fan of the film, there were worst films that should have taken its place like The Book of Henry and The Snowman. The winner will be revealed the night before the Oscar ceremony on March 3rd.

Other new voice actors joining the series will be Mikey Way (My Chemical Romance, my guess is voice of Jazz), Jaime King (Sin City, my guess is voice of Arcee), Gregg Berger (G1 Grimlock and likely reprising the role), and Samoa Joe as Predaking.
