And the Razzie goes to…

As per tradition, the Golden Raspberry Awards were handed out tonight, the night before the Academy Awards. The Razzies celebrate seriously shitty filmmaking, so let’s see who received the dubious honor this year. The winners will be in bold.

Worst Picture

Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

Left Behind

The Legend of Hercules

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Transformers: Age of Extinction

All jokes aside, Kirk Cameron can take his sanctimonious Bible-thumping and shove it up his ass. Fuck off, milk drinker. The only downside to him winning this is that he won’t learn a goddamn thing.

Worst Actor

Kirk Cameron, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

Nicolas Cage, Left Behind

Kellan Lutz, The Legend of Hercules

Seth MacFarlane, A Million Ways to Die in the West

Adam Sandler, Blended

Haha, I’m finding these out in real time (I have another tab open with the list of winners). It’s gotta suck to be Kirk Cameron – not only was the movie with your name in the title the worst film of the year, but you gave the year’s worst performance in it.

Worst Actress

Drew Barrymore, Blended

Cameron Diaz, Sex Tape and The Other Woman

Melissa McCarthy, Tammy

Charlize Theron, A Million Ways to Die in the West

Gaia Weiss, The Legend of Hercules

Honestly, I expected Kirk Cameron to win this one too.

Worst Supporting Actor

Mel Gibson, Expendables 3

Kelsey Grammer, Expendables 3, Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return, Think Like a Man Too, and Transformers: Age of Extinction

Shaquille O’Neal, Blended

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Expendables 3

Kiefer Sutherland, Pompeii

Haha, what the fuck, Frasier? Go back to playing Sideshow Bob in Simpsons episodes of steadily declining quality.

Worst Supporting Actress

Cameron Diaz, Annie

Megan Fox, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Nicola Peltz, Transformers: Age of Exctinction

Susan Sarandon, Tammy

Brigitte Ridenour (nee Cameron), Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

How is Megan Fox still a thing? She can’t act for shit, and by all accounts she’s an entitled bitch who no one can stand working with. Also I think I read somewhere that she believes in ghosts. Or aliens. Or something that’s an easy way to tell if someone is a moron.

Worst Director

Michael Bay, Transformers: Age of Exctinction

Darren Doane, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

Renny Harlin, The Legend of Hercules

Jonathan Liebesman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Seth MacFarlane, A Million Ways to Die in the West

Bay is kind of low-hanging fruit, don’t you think? Say what you will about his movies – and they are all so, so bad – but the man knows how to direct an explosion.

Worst Screen Combo

Any Two Robots, Actors (or Robotic Actors), Transformers: Age of Extinction

Kirk Cameron and His Ego, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, Sex Tape

Kellan Lutz and Either His Abs, Pecs, or Glutes, The Legend of Hercules

Seth MacFarlane and Charlize Theron, A Million Ways to Die in the West

This is a bizarre category, 60% of which is clearly designed for Razzie members to voice really specific complaints, but I’m favor of any category that acts as another “fuck you” to Kirk Cameron.

Worst Screenplay

Darren Doane and Cheston Hervey, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas

Paul LaLonde and John Patus, Left Behind

Kate Angelo, Jason Segel, and Nicholas Stoller, Sex Tape

Ehren Kruger, Transformers: Age of Extinction

Evan Daugherty, Andre Nemec, and Josh Applebaum, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I am shocked that Saving Christmas wasn’t written by Kirk Cameron. Also, “Cheston Hervey” is the worst porn name I’ve ever heard.

Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel

Annie

Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt?

The Legend of Hercules

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Transformers: Age of Extinction

Man, what a shitty year to be Cameron Diaz. Or more specifically, Cameron Diaz’s publicist. “I think Cameron would be perfect for this role!” “Yeah, but isn’t she terrible by any conceivable metric?” “…”

The Razzie Redeemer Award

Ben Affleck, “From Razzie winner for Gigli to Oscar darling for Argo and Gone Girl

Jennifer Aniston, “From 4-time Razzie nominee to SAG Award nominee for Cake

Mike Myers, “From Razzie winner for The Love Guru to docu director of Supermensch

Keanu Reeves, “From 6-time Razzie nominee to the critically acclaimed John Wick

Kristen Stewart, “From 6-time Razzie winner to the art house hit Camp X-Ray

This is basically the equivalent of Jim Breuer quitting his job in Half-Baked. “Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, – you’re cool – fuck you, I’m out!”
