Critically speaking, 2011 may have been Adam Sandler's worst year ever. His two main vehicles, Just Go With It and Jack & Jill, were panned. As a producer, his name is also on Zookeeper and (most damningly) Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star. The Razzies recognized his efforts with a record 11 nominations. For those keeping track, this shatters the record set by Eddie Murphy and his 5 nominations for Norbit in 2007. New Year's Eve, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 join Jack & Jill and Bucky Larson as the 5 contenders for Worst Picture. Hit the jump for the full list.
I don't really like the spirit behind the Razzies, but I will admit that a pair of nominations in the Worst Actress category made me chuckle: Adam Sandler (as "Jill") in Jack & Jill and Sarah Palin (as "Herself") in Sarah Palin: The Undefeated.
