LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- The Christian-themed, box-office dud Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas swept the Razzie Awards Saturday night, scoring four prizes, including Worst Picture.

The film also earned the dubious distinction of having the Worst Actor -- former 1980s teen idol Cameron; Worst Screen Duo -- Cameron and his ego; and Worst Screenplay.

Michael Bay garnered the award for Worst Director for helming Transformers: Age of Extinction, while the action picture's cast member Kelsey Grammer was named Worst Supporting Actor. Contributing to Grammer's selection for the prize were his performances in The Expendables 3 and Legends of Oz.

The Worst Actress Razzie went to Cameron Diaz for her work in Sex Tape and The Other Woman, and Megan Fox received the Worst Supporting Actress nod for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Annie was deemed Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel.

The inaugural Razzie Redeemer Award was presented to Ben Affleck, a Razzie winner for Gigli, who went on to star in much better films like Argo and Gone Girl.

The 2015 Golden Raspberry Awards recognized the worst in cinema for 2014. The Razzies are traditionally distributed the night before the Oscars, which honor excellence in film, are handed out.
