Cameron Diaz, Transformers and Kirk Cameron top Razzie awards
|
Version 0 of 1. Cameron Diaz and Kirk Cameron received the dubious honour of being dubbed the year’s worst actress and actor at the Golden Raspberry Awards – aka the Razzies – on Saturday night. Diaz earned the title for her performances in the comedies The Other Woman, in which a wife and two mistresses of the same man team up to make his life miserable, and Sex Tape, where a couple accidentally releases their private performance to the cloud.

Cameron, meanwhile, picked up the award for Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, a widely derided faith-based comedy, which also won worst picture, worst screen combo (Cameron and his ego) and worst screenplay. Razzie favourite Michael Bay was granted worst director for Transformers: Age of Extinction. Although Bay’s film may have grossed over $1bn worldwide, that didn’t save the silly, explosion-happy movie from more than one Razzie win. Transformers supporting actress Nicola Peltz was spared, but Kelsey Grammer was not as lucky. The five-time Emmy winner picked up worst supporting actor not just for his role as the evil counter-intelligence agent, but also for his performances in Legends of Oz, Think Like a Man Too, and Expendables 3. Megan Fox, who gained fame from the Transformers franchise, was recognised as worst supporting actress for playing the tenacious reporter April in the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Ben Affleck was the only one who was spared. The actor-director who won for the terrible 2003 movie Gigli, was acknowledged with a Razzie redeemer award thanks to his Oscar-winning film Argo and his performance in David Fincher’s Gone Girl. |
