With its nominations for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screen Combo, and Worst Screenplay, The Emoji Movie became the first full-length animated motion picture to receive nominations for those specific categories at the Golden Raspberry Awards and to win all of these awards. [3] A new award was also created, sponsored by Rotten Tomatoes, for "The Razzie Nominee So Rotten You Loved It", where the website readers voted for their favorite film which they thought was unfairly nominated, which was won by Baywatch . [4] One of the film's stars, Dwayne Johnson, accepted the prize, albeit not in person. He did post a video online saying: "We made Baywatch with the best of intentions, it didn't work out like that, but I humbly and graciously accept my Razzie. And I thank you, critics, and I thank you, fans." [5]

With 10 nominations and no wins, Transformers: The Last Knight breaks the record for most nominations without a win, beating original record holder Grown Ups 2 .
