Winners for Razzies, 'Worst Achievements in Film,' announced
As we recognize the best in film during this year's Oscars, a separate tradition has recognized the worst.
Winners from the 35th annual Golden Raspberry Awards, better known as "the Razzies," have been announced. The awards show recognizes the worst of the worst in the film industry.
The "honor" of being named the "Worst Picture 2014" went to "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas." According to its IMDB page, the film plot centers around Christmas and is about helping out Cameron's brother-in-law, who has "a bad case of the ba-humbugs." In addition to the big award, "Saving Christmas" won three other awards. The film is currently ranked as the worst movie of all time on IMDB.
The awards, a self-described "trophy derby no one sets out to win," are meant to be good-natured fun, the site's description says.
Categories include worst picture, worst screen combo and "worst remake, sequel or rip-off." Nominees and winners are determined by the 757 paying members of the "Golden Raspberry Award Foundation."
New this year was a kinder award called the Redeemer Award. Five people who have appeared in past Razzies were up for the award, which recognizes stars who members perceive as having a turnaround in their career. This was the only award the public could vote on.
