Battleship has been nominated in six categories - and twice in one of them - of the 33rd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards, or better known as the Razzies. They are competing for Worst Picture, Worst Director (Peter Berg), Worst Supporting Actress (Brooklyn Decker & Rihanna), Worst Supporting Actor (Liam Neeson), Worst Screen Ensemble, and finally, Worst Screenplay. That's pretty bad, but not as terrible as
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 which earned a whopping 11 nominations, one in each category - twice in one of them.
