Batman v Superman may have been deserving of many of its "impressive" eight (!) Razzie nominations, but Ben Affleck landing a Worst Actor nod for his performance as Bruce Wayne/Batman? Come on.

It's like the nomination committee was still stuck back in the summer of 2013 when Affleck's casting was first announced, and they didn't pay attention to the actual movie itself, of which Affleck was the most consistently-praised element.

Nominating Henry Cavill and Jesse Eisenberg for their divisive performances at least made some sense, but given that Affleck gave arguably one of the most grizzled and intense portrayals of the Caped Crusader to date, this just felt like the Razzie voters crapping on the entire movie for the sheer sake of it.
