Oscar winners Tom Hanks, 66, and Jared Leto, 51, could be honored with Hollywood's mockery awards in March.
The distributors of the "Golden Raspberries" or "Razzies" announced the nominations for the prizes, which should not be taken too seriously, on Monday.
Traditionally, the »Razzie« contenders are named the day before the Oscar nominations are announced.
Hanks is nominated in three categories: as "worst actor" in the role of Geppetto in Disney's "Pinocchio".
He qualified as "Worst Supporting Actor" as he plays Tom "Colonel" Parker, the manager of rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley, in the film biopic "Elvis".

The 66-year-old "and his latex-covered face" are also nominated at the Anti-Oscars in the category "worst pair of screens".
In addition to his elaborate make-up, the organizers also emphasize his "ridiculous accent" in the role of Elvis' manager.
Last year, Jared Leto received the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor in House of Gucci.
This time, the Worst Actor award could go to Leto for his role as the vampire-like antihero Morbius.
The comic adaptation received a total of five nominations, including in the top category "worst film".

The "Razzie" leader "Blond" is also represented there.
The Netflix biopic about Marilyn Monroe has eight "wins" chances, including directing and writing by Andrew Dominik.
The stoner comedy »Good Mourning«, which was directed by musicians Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun, received seven nominations.
Bryce Dallas Howard (»Jurassic World: A New Age«) and Diane Keaton (»Mack & Rita«) are among the »worst actresses« in the running.
The »Razzies« (short for raspberry) were created in 1980 by filmmaker John Wilson as a counterpart to the glamorous Oscars.
According to earlier information from the group, around a thousand members in the United States and other countries are voting.
The "winners" are traditionally announced the day before the Oscar gala, which is scheduled to take place on March 12.
This Tuesday (January 24), the Hollywood Film Academy will announce the Oscar nominations.
However, the award winners almost never appear in person to pick up their abusive trophies.
