The Land of the Lost has been nominated as the worst picture of 2009, and has also garnered a worst actor nod for Will Ferrell . (Universal Pictures) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made a fortune and Land of the Lost tanked. Both films are equal earners at the Razzies, though, grabbing seven nominations each on Monday, including worst picture of 2009 and worst acting slots for Will Ferrell and Megan Fox.
Other worst picture nominees: Sandra Bullock's romance All About Steve, the action tale G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and the Robin Williams-John Travolta comedy Old Dogs.
Bullock earned a worst actress nomination for All About Steve. She's expected to score an Academy Award nomination Tuesday for her hit drama The Blind Side.
"She could be the first person ever to win a Razzie and an Oscar in the same weekend," said John Wilson, founder of the Golden Raspberry Awards, now in their 30th year of singling out Hollywood's low points. Winners will be announced March 6, the night before the Oscars.
Razzie 2009 nominees also include Miley Cyrus as worst actress and her dad, Billy Ray, as worst supporting actor for Hannah Montana: The Movie.
All three Jonas brothers shared a worst-actor nomination for Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience.
Razzie voters also included "any two [or more]" Jonas brothers in the category for worst screen couple.
Robert Pattinson was nominated as worst supporting actor for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Co-star Kristen Stewart is in the running for worst screen couple paired with either Pattinson or New Moon player Taylor Lautner.
Ferrell has nominations as worst actor for Land of the Lost and as worst screen couple paired with "any co-star, creature or 'comic riff"' in the action comedy inspired by the children's TV show.
Land of the Lost also was nominated for worst supporting actor (Jorma Taccone), director (Brad Silberling), screenplay and worst sequel, rip-off or remake, a category that includes the Transformers sequel.
Fox was nominated as worst actress for both Revenge of the Fallen and Jennifer's Body.
Joining Ferrell and the Jonas brothers for worst actor were Steve Martin in The Pink Panther 2, Eddie Murphy in Imagine That and Travolta in Old Dogs.
For worst actress, Bullock, Cyrus and Fox are up against Beyoncé Knowles for Obsessed and Sarah Jessica Parker for Did You Hear About the Morgans?
