The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, which purport to salute the worst in the world of movies each year, typically are presented the day before the Academy Awards but their schedule was shifted this year - the nominees were released Saturday and the winners (or losers, depending on how you look at it) are to be announced April 1.

Alaskas former governor, if she were to give this any thought at all, could take some comfort in being in good company; among her fellow nominees this year are such noted performers as Al Pacino (a supporting actor nod for Jack and Jill) and Nicolas Cage (worst actor for Drive Angry).

Palins fellow nominees in the worst actress category are Kristen Stewart (Breaking Dawn), Sarah Jessica Parker (both New Years Eve and I Dont Know How She Does It) and two men performing in drag, Martin Lawrence (Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son) and Adam Sandler, whose nomination for Jack and Jill, was one of a record 11 he received Saturday in various Razzie categories.

The Undefeated, a film written and directed by Stephen K. Bannon, debuted in theaters on July 15. It is not to be confused with the football documentary Undefeated, which is one of this years Oscar nominees for best documentary feature.

Previous Razzie winners include George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld for the 2004 Michael Moore documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 and Donald Trump for a small role as himself in the 1990 Bo Derek farce Ghosts Cant Do It. Last years worst actress was the quartet of Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthi! a Nixon for Sex and the City 2.
