The 2014 Razzie nominations short list has arrived and it’s predominantly movies you’d expect to be in contention for worst of the year (dis)honors, but there are a couple of surprising selections in the mix, namely Noah and The Interview.  No, they’re not the greatest, but they’re not bad movies either, let alone the worst.  However, Transformers: Age of Extinction certainly deserves its nine Razzie short list positions and the same goes for A Million Ways to Die in the West and The Legend of Hercules and their eight possible nominations.

The nominating ballots for the 35th Razzies just went out at the end of December so we won’t know which films scored the nods until the nominees are officially announced on Wednesday, January 14th.  After that, final ballots are sent out and then the winners are revealed on Saturday, February 21st, the day before the 87th Annual Academy Awards.  Hit the jump to check out the full Razzie nominations short list.
