Yep. Agreed. Total BS.
Cavill actually doesn't get enough credit for his two Supes performances. He instills a sense of hope and warmth that the writing didn't really account for.
And I thought his scenes with Affleck at the Luthor gala in BvS were super. Affleck was great in those scenes too. In fact, they might just be my favourite scenes in the film. Some actual detective work there in that sequence.
The Razzies have a history of following the crowd and targeting high-profile films that popular opinion deems to have failed in some obvious, spectacular, or laughable way. I think Denise Richards won one for TWINE. A bad performance by no means. Actually quite good by Bond girl standards, but it's Denise Richards playing a nuclear physicist. She was getting a Razzie from the day she was cast. I have to revisit BvS so I can't speak to their performances, but I think Cavill and Affleck were awarded for issues pertaining to how the writing portrayed their characters, specifically the riseable "Martha" scene.
(By the way, from lurking the IMDb boards when they still existed, someone gave a hilarious response to why Batman saved Harley from drowning in SS:
As for Richards, I can see why she won. In a ranking of Bond girl performances, many of which are superb, rich and/or dimensional, she wouldn't be too high up.
Her character was a bit absurd—in the best Bondian tradition of absurdly attractive doctors, secret agents, and various other professionals—but her performance was by no means bad. Certainly not Razzie bad. And that's what I'm saying. Actors aren't always awarded Razzies for their performances. Sometimes they're simply awarded them for the type of character they played or the reputation of the film they appeared in.
They need the attention hence no real dross ever gets nominated, it is generally well known movies that are not at their best performance, but superiour to many b & c movies out there.

I was let down by that twist too, but just another way of shoehorning in The Joker. To see Black Mask done in movie format is definitely something I wish to see, I wonder who could play the character.
The great thing is, all they really need to find is an actor with the stature and voice. Their face would always be covered, so what they looked like feature-wise wouldn't matter. I think Sionis and that charred on mask would be a chilling visual to see in live action.
Henry Cavil potential major spoiler
Many fans are losing their minds right now though because Armie Hammer liked that photo.
He is basically Tony Montana minus the cocaine. He would be a great foil for Affleck's interpretation.
Are they? No offense to the guy, but of all the great casting choices that could be made, WB may be picking Hammer, who has never screamed leading man material? I don't know.
DC need perfect casting choices, which they haven't scored in notable ways yet. Hammer for GL doesn't instill me with confidence.
I actually think they've been right 95% with the top choices. It's just Lexenberg that lets the side down majorly.
But you're right, Hammer is not a leading man. He's a solid support actor but can't carry something on his own the way Affleck can.
I guess part of my issue and why I view the casting as lackluster is because the actors haven't been given much to really show what they have.
Fans love him because he looks like Hal Jordan. That's usually the extent of the consideration fans give to their casting choices.
Here's a screenshot of the video:
I agree. I wouldn't have blamed the filmmakers for avoiding an Aquaman film altogether. It will inevitably have elements that look and feel very unnatural and maybe even dumb, but that's not necessarily uncommon for comicbook movies. Still, I think the sooner we accept this film will require a lot of suspension of disbelief, the better time we'll all have.
With all that said and taken into account, I'm really impressed with the clip above.
I remember seeing a quote from James Wan a while back saying he actually wanted to have spoken dialogue underwater. In the quote, he went into more detail about what he envisions. I'll see if I can find it.
Edit:
Here it is:
