Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are nominated as Worst Duo for "trashing two of literature’s most beloved characters" in the comedy that prompted mass walkouts.
Melissa McCarthy, who just received an Oscar nomination (her second) for "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" is also up for a Worst Actress Razzie for "The Happytime Murders" and "Life of the Party."
