It may not take much for Barbadian beauty Rihanna to sail a single to the top of Billboard charts, but as spring 2012 proved, she isn’t the best captain on the movie-front.
Indeed, after quickly sinking at the box office, Ri’s ‘Battleship’ didn’t exactly make a splash with critics either – now landing she and crew aboard the 2013 Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies) list.
With a whopping 7 nominations (just behind hit film ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn II‘s eleven nods), including ‘Worst Picture’ and a ‘Worst Supporting Actress’ nod for her own showing, it looks like somebody at the Razzie academy – much like other academies – was not pleased with Ri’s performance.
She’s in good company, however. As, much like her fiercest chart competitions, she will go head to head with movies featuring the likes of music starlets Ciara, Jennifer Lopez, and more:

For those who are unfamiliar, the Razzies, unlike the Oscars, are an annual salute to the top flops worst films of the year. For over 30 years, its academy has awarded the worst of the worst films. Interestingly, some people who have been nominated for and/or won Razzies have won ‘Screen Actor’s Guild’ or Academy Awards for the same performances.
Queen of Pop Madonna also stands as Queen of the Razzies as her big screen showings have earned her a whopping 5 awards (and countless nominations) since her debut in ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’.
