20 Things You Didn't Know About Mission Impossible 2

19. Razzie Nominations

Mission Impossible 2 Tom Cruise
The Razzies

All the talk nowadays surrounding Mission: Impossible and awards, focuses on whether or not they should introduce a 'Best Stunts' category at the Oscars (I mean they definitely should, stuntmen are underrated and we really don't need TWO sound awards).

But in 2001, MI2 was a contender in a very different awards show: The Razzies. At the 21st Golden Raspberry Awards, the ceremony that recognises the very worst films of the year, MI2 was nominated in two categories: Worst Supporting Actress for Thandie Newton and Worst Remake or Sequel.

Fortunately it lost both, with Kelly Preston in Battlefield Earth and Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 'winning' instead.
