Ben Stiller is back as Derek Zoolander in the new Zoolander 2 trailer.

Zoolander 2 leads the Golden Raspberry Awards with nine nominations. But Batman v Superman isn't far behind.

The fashion follow-up - which was deemed a "15-years-too-late sequel" by awards bosses - has the dubious honour of being branded one of the year's worst movies, while comic book blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is close behind with eight nods.

Both movies are in the running for Worst Picture and Worst Remake, Ripoff or Sequel.

In addition, Zoolander No. 2 star Ben Stiller is up for Worst Actor, Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson are both up for Worst Supporting Actor, and Kristen Wiig is up for Worst Supporting Actress, while Ben and Owen are jointly nominated for Worst Onscreen Combination.

Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, the stars of Batman v Superman - dubbed a "WTF comic-book battle royale" by Razzie bosses - are also both up for Worst Actor, and also Worst Screen Combo.

The nomination marks a downturn for Ben, as in 2015, he was awarded the Razzie Redeemer prize for going from flop Gigli to Oscar-winning film Argo and critically-acclaimed Gone Girl.

Other films with multiple nominations included Dirty Grandpa with six, Gods of Egypt, Hillary's America and Independence Day: Resurgence, all with five, and Alice Through the Looking Glass with three.

Razzies bosses said there had been so many bad movies released in 2016, they had had to expand the categories this year to include a potential six winners.

They said: "The crop of cinematic crap in 2016 was so extensive that this year's 37th annual Razzie Awards is expanding the number of nominees from the usual five to an unprecedented six contenders in each of its nine worst achievement in film categories."

Other notable nominations included Dinesh D'Souza - as himself - for worst actor for documentary Hillary's America and 2014 Worst Actress winner Tyler Perry, who is again nominated for the award thanks to his role in Boo! A Medea Halloween.

The Worst Onscreen Combination nominees also include Johnny Depp and his "Vomituously Vibrant Costume" from Alice Through the Looking Glass, "The Entire Cast of Once Respected Actors" from Collateral Beauty - which starred Will Smith, Edward Norton, Keira Knightley, Michael Pena, Naomie Harris, Jacob Latimore, Kate Winslet and Dame Helen Mirren - Tyler and "That Same Old Worn Out Wig" from Boo! A Medea Halloween and "Any Two Egyptian Gods or Mortals" from Gods of Egypt.

Nominees in all categories except for Worst Screen Combination were selected by online votes from 1014 voting Razzie members.
