From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The year's biggest film flops and failures have been taken to task by the 38th annual Golden Raspberry Awards, which just revealed its latest batch of nominations.
The exhausting Transformers franchise dominates, its latest sequel, The Last Knight, earning nine nominations, with Fifty Shades Darker following close behind on eight.
Baywatch, The Emoji Movie and The Mummy are other repeat offenders.
In terms of the acting awards, Razzie stalwarts Tyler Perry, Johnny Depp and Mark Wahlberg are in there, along with the usually revered Jennifer Lawrence (for mother!) and Emma Watson (for The Circle).
The winners of the annual awards will be revealed on 3 March, the night before Hollywood's biggest award ceremony, the Academy Awards.
