Since people have already nominated some of my other favorites already, I'm going to go to bat for Beasts of No Nation.

Am I alone in thinking this was a documentary? Learning that it's a fictional film suddenly makes me more interested in it.

Is 60% a firm cutoff? I know the award is meant to give recognition to films that had a wildly negative critical reaction, and not so much for middling, borderline films (like, say, Chappie), but there are some D- films that I think could still qualify. Basically, I just want Magic Mike XXL to get a nomination, but it's currently at 62%.

Chappie is at like 39%, I would not call that borderline.

drat, I should've checked what it actually was. I use Metacritic as my preferred aggregator and I remember it being in the upper 50s or low 60s.
