The so while Leonardo DiCaprio looks for space on his mantle for his new shiny Golden Globe, Adam Sandler, Gwyneth Paltrow and Mila Kunis should probably start looking for space for the golden raspberry award.

The Razzies, the annual award show honoring the best in the worst of the last year in films, has announced its nominations, with Sandler’s movies leading the pack with four nominations, including the category of Worst Cameo for “Adam Sandler and Any Pair of Shoes, ‘The Cobbler.’”

But with his Netflix venture already breaking records, Sandler can just laugh the Razzie off all the way to the bank.

Other Jewish nominees include Josh Gad for “Pixels,” Andy Fickman for worst director of the painful to watch “Paul Blart Mall Cop 2,” Paltrow for “Mordecai” and Kunis for “Jupiter Ascending.”

Maybe Paltrow will place her Razzie next to her Oscar?
