Hollywood superstar Robert Downey Jr. and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani landed on the list of nominees on Friday for Razzie Awards, an annual shaming of what voters consider the year`s worst films and performances. 
 
Downey Jr. was in the running for worst actor for playing the title role in 'Dolittle',&nbsp;a movie remake about a doctor who can talk to animals. 
"Dolittle," released by Comcast Corp`s Universal Pictures, tied for the most Razzie nominations with six overall including the worst picture. It will compete with Netflix`s Polish erotic drama "365 Days," which also received six Razzie nods. 
 
Others contending for the worst film included "Music" directed by musician Sia about a young girl with autism and a movie remake of the TV show "Fantasy Island." 
 
Mike Lindell, chief executive of widely advertised company MyPillow and a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, was nominated for "Absolute Proof," a film featuring baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. It also is competing for worst picture. 
Giuliani made the Razzies list for his brief appearance in Sacha Baron Cohen`s mockumentary "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm." The former mayor was filmed in a hotel room with an actress pretending to be a reporter. Giuliani has said nothing inappropriate happened. 
 
The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, created in 1980, serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s glitzy Academy Awards ceremony. Winners of the Razzies will be announced on April 24, the night before this year`s Oscars. 
 
Razzie nominees and winners are voted for online by members from more than two dozen countries, who sign up online and pay a $40 membership fee. 
 
This year, the Razzies announced a special pandemic-related award for 2020 as "The Worst Calendar Year EVER!"

Robert Downey Jr., Rudy Giuliani receive Razzie worst film nods

The widely panned movie musical "Cats" and four of its stars were nominated on Saturday for Razzie awards, an annual ritual that lampoons the worst of cinema. 
 
James Corden, Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson, and Francesca Hayward received Razzie acting nominations for their 'Cats'&nbsp;roles, in which they were costumed in digitally created fur. 
 
Oscar-winner Dench was singled out for "looking suspiciously similar to The Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz," organizers said in a statement announcing this year's nominees. 
 
Overall, 'Cats' was given eight Razzie nominations, tying for the lead with Tyler Perry's 'A Madea Family Funeral',&nbsp;and Sylvester Stallone's 'Rambo: Last Blood'.&nbsp;All three movies are in the running for worst picture, alongside psychological thriller "The Fanatic" and horror flick "The Haunting of Sharon Tate." 
 
'Cats', an adaptation of the popular Broadway musical of the same name, was released in December and drew widespread ridicule from film critics. The $95 million production flopped at the box office, taking in just $69.7 million at theaters worldwide, according to website Box Office Mojo. 
 
The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, created in 1980, serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s glitzy Academy Awards ceremony. Nominees were announced a day before the bestowing of the Oscars, the highest honors in the movie industry. 
 
John Travolta received two Razzie nominations this year for 'The Fanatic'&nbsp;and 'Trading Paint',&nbsp;as did Anne Hathaway for 'The Hustle'&nbsp;and 'Serenity'. Her 'Serenity'&nbsp;co-star Matthew McConaughey also was named. 
 
The worst screen combo category piled on 'Cats'&nbsp;with a nomination for "any two half-feline/half-human hairballs." 
 
It was not all bad news. Eddie Murphy was nominated for the Razzie Redeemer Reward for his role in 'Dolemite is My Name',&nbsp;along with Jennifer Lopez in 'Hustlers'&nbsp;and Adam Sandler in 'Uncut Gems'.&nbsp;The redeemer award goes to a past Razzie nominee or winner who has recently earned acclaim. 
 
Razzie nominees and winners are voted for online by around 1,000 Razzie members from more than two dozen countries, who sign up online and pay a $40 membership fee. 
 
Organizers have not unveiled a date for the announcement of the winners.
