A day before the Oscar nominations, Hollywood stars have learned who is in the running for the awards no-one wants - the Golden Raspberries.

The Razzies hand out prizes like worst picture, worst actor and worst actress.

This year, Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard are among those 'honoured' with a nomination.

Past Oscar winner Dame Helen Mirren has her first Razzie nomination, while husband-and-wife John Travolta and Kelly Preston are also in the running.

They are shortlisted for worst actor and worst supporting actress respectively for their roles in mob drama Gotti - which has six nominations overall, including worst picture and worst screen combo.

Travolta played mob boss John Gotti and Preston played his daughter Victoria in the film, which was savaged by critics.

"I'd rather wake up next to a severed horse head than ever watch Gotti again," wrote the New York Post's critic.

Meanwhile, Depp and Heard - who divorced two years ago amid allegations of domestic abuse - are nominated for worst actor and worst actress for Sherlock Gnomes and London Fields respectively.

Another Sherlock Holmes rehash, Holmes & Watson, also fared badly with six nominations, including worst actor for Will Ferrell and worst supporting actor for John C Reilly.

Reilly is having a mixed year. Despite the critical panning for Holmes & Watson, he received glowing reviews for playing part of another famous historical duo - Oliver Hardy in Stan & Ollie.

The other films to receive six nominations are the widely discredited documentary Death of a Nation, which compares the US Democratic Party with the Nazis; and puppet crime drama The Happytime Murders.

Melissa McCarthy, who is nominated for worst actress for both The Happytime Murders and Life of the Party, is one Razzie nominee who could also receive an Oscar nomination on Tuesday.

She has an outside chance of being nominated for an Academy Award for playing author-turned-conwoman Lee Israel in Can You Ever Forgive Me?
