“Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas” was the biggest winner at Saturday night’s Golden Raspberry Awards, if you can call it “winning” to be named the worst film achievement of the year in four different categories.
The faith-based film from the former “Growing Pains” child star “won” in the Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Cameron), Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Combo categories, with the last award going to Cameron “and his ego.”
The awards meant that Razzie voters considered Cameron’s film a lesser achievement than “The Legend of Hercules,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “Left Behind” and “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” even though that last film had led all films with seven Razzie nominations.

“Transformers” did find itself declared the worst of the worst in two categories, with Michael Bay taking the Worst Director award for the second time and Kelsey Grammer taking the Worst Supporting Actor award for “Transformers,” “Legends of Oz,” “Think Like a Man Too” and “Expendables 3.”
Cameron Diaz and Megan Fox were given the Worst Actress and Worst Supporting Actress awards, the former for “The Other Woman” and “Sex Tape” and the latter for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”
“Annie” was named the worst remake, rip-off or sequel.
One Razzie award, newly created for this year, actually honored something positive: Ben Affleck was named the inaugural winner of the Razzie Redeemer Award, which is designed to salute a former Razzie winner who actually did good things during the past year.
Former Razzie recipient Affleck was honored for his trip from “Gigli” to “Argo” and “Gone Girl.”
