The Razzies do mean something.
They get people talking. Honest to God, my local sports talk radio program gave the whole morning to Razzie talk and people called in left and right bashing Batman V Superman.
There topic was what Oscar nominated movie sucked and what Razzie nominated movie wasn't that bad. NO ONE called in to defend BvS.
I didn't call in but I would have said
Oscar nominated movie that wasn't good: Arrival
Razzie nominated movie that wasn't bad: Hillarys America
What about your pick from each?
WORST PICTURE
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Dirty Grandpa
Gods of Egypt
Hillarys America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party
Independence Day: Resurgence
Zoolander No. 2
Alleged BEST PICTURE
Arrival
Fences
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Hidden Figures
La La Land
Lion
Manchester by the Sea
Moonlight -

Worst picture for me would probably be Zoolander no2 out of the films you listed. I still have not seen a fair amount of the best movies listed but Hacksaw Ridge is excellent and so is Arrival at a push I would list Hacksaw Ridge over Arrival.
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script -Alfred Hitchcock -

Zoolander 2 is a masterpiece next to BS. It's a harmless throwaway unfunny "comedy" because Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Will Ferrell have nothing else lined up to work on. BS, on the other hand, spent three years and hundreds of millions of dollars making some huge "cinematic universe epic" that managed to get considerably WORSE reviews than the already CERTIFIED ROTTEN previous film. That amount of FAIL is truly breathtaking. -

As I predicted, the MOS fanboys have all become haters. BS has created more haters than we could have dreamed of.
Oscar nominated movie that wasn't good: Arrival
Arrival was excellent. If people want to see an "alien invasion movie starring Amy Adams where she must deal with the unknown crisis", Arrival blows away MOS on EVERY level. Starting with the fact that Arrival is SUPPOSED to be about an alien invasion. MOS is made by people who don't understand that Superman is a comic fantasy story and not a "serious take" on "what would happen" if aliens invaded earth.
Razzie nominated movie that wasn't bad: Hillarys America
Okay, you may have a point there. Haven't seen the movie but it sounds decent. Political bias is likely to blame for the Razzie nomination. Hopefully it gets crushed by Batfleck vs. Pseudoman at the awards. -

Yes, that's why no one bought the DVD or Blu-ray of BvS. Look at the numbers drop and look at the stats.
Now, with Wonder Woman being a mess and Affleck trying to run away from the Batman property, it looks like MoS will be the high point for this DCEU run before they scrap everything. How sad is that? -
