The live-action and animated hybrid, Space Jam: A New Legacy, was voted Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel and its leading man, LeBron James, scored the Worst Actor prize.

Adding insult to injury, James also was presented with the Worst On-Screen Couple award for his scenes with any Warner Bros. cartoon character.
