Cameron, Diaz win anti-Oscar awards

鈥淜irk Cameron鈥檚 Saving Christmas,鈥 a film which promises to 鈥減ut Christ back into Christmas,鈥 and actress Cameron Diaz triumphed at the Razzies anti-award show, Hollywood鈥檚 hall of shame.

The movie, of which one critic said 鈥渆ven devout born-again Christians will find this hard to stomach,鈥 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: 鈥淰irtually everything about this production feels thrown together.鈥

Blockbuster filmmaker Michael Bay was named worst director for 鈥淭ransformers: Age of Extinction鈥 at the ceremony, formally called the Golden Raspberries, which celebrated Tinseltown鈥檚 worst output of 2014.

Diaz was named worst actress for 鈥淭he Other Woman鈥 and 鈥淪ex Tape,鈥 while worst supporting actress went to Megan Fox for 鈥淭eenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.鈥

In the anti-awards show at a Hollywood theater, the worst supporting actor accolade was won by Kelsey Grammer for performances including in 鈥淭he Expendables 3鈥 and 鈥淭ransformers.鈥

Big-screen musical adaptation 鈥淎nnie,鈥 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鈥檚 star-studded annual awards season.

Nominees very rarely attend the Razzies.
