Cameron, Diaz win anti-Oscar awards

“Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas,” a film which promises to “put Christ back into Christmas,” and actress Cameron Diaz triumphed at the Razzies anti-award show, Hollywood’s hall of shame.

The movie, of which one critic said “even devout born-again Christians will find this hard to stomach,” took the worst picture, as well as worst actor, worst screenplay and worst screen combo on Saturday, the eve of the Oscars.

The film has the dubious honor of a straight zero rating on the Rotten Tomatoes movie ranking website, where the LA Times critics said of it: “Virtually everything about this production feels thrown together.”

Blockbuster filmmaker Michael Bay was named worst director for “Transformers: Age of Extinction” at the ceremony, formally called the Golden Raspberries, which celebrated Tinseltown’s worst output of 2014.

Diaz was named worst actress for “The Other Woman” and “Sex Tape,” while worst supporting actress went to Megan Fox for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

In the anti-awards show at a Hollywood theater, the worst supporting actor accolade was won by Kelsey Grammer for performances including in “The Expendables 3” and “Transformers.”

Big-screen musical adaptation “Annie,” starring Jamie Foxx and Oscar-nominated child star Quvenzhane Wallis, was named the worst remake, sequel or rip-off.

The Razzies were created in 1980 as an antidote to Hollywood’s star-studded annual awards season.

Nominees very rarely attend the Razzies.
