Though the Wachowskis' output hasn't exactly been spectacular as of late, it's still staggering to believe that the sibling directors have been nominated for two Worst Director Razzies.

Their first nod was for helming the divisive Matrix sequels, and they received a follow-up more recently for their critically-panned sci-fi bomb Jupiter Ascending.

In both cases, though, their direction was never really the issue. For starters, The Matrix Reloaded was acclaimed by critics and most fans agree it's an enjoyable action film with some incredibly sharp direction.

Revolutions received mixed reviews, especially from fans, but this was largely due to the questionable script rather than the Wachowskis' direction of it.

Jupiter Ascending was meanwhile horribly written and acted, but the direction was really quite spectacular at times, especially during the visually stunning Chicago chase sequence. Worst Directors? Not a chance.
