Adam Sandler topped the 2012 Razzie nominations, which were announced on Feb. 25, on the eve of the Oscars, with a record 11 listings. Sandler received nominations as the Worst Star, Worst Producer or Writer for three of his 2011 films – “Jack and Jill”, “Just Go with It” and “Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star”

Incidentally, the previous record number of nominations was held by Eddie Murphy, who had 5 last year, for “Norbit”.

Interestingly, Sandler has been nominated for both Worst Actor and Worst Actress, for dual roles in “Jack and Jill”.
