The Oscars ceremony wasn’t the only big, movie-related awards event happening over the past weekend. The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation also announced the winners of its somewhat dubious honors the day before the Academy Awards kicked off. Let’s just say that if winning a “Razzie” was the sort of thing actors and filmmakers celebrated, Kirk Cameron would’ve been partying like a rock star.

The widely panned Saving Christmas and its star took home four Razzies during a ceremony held Saturday (February 21) evening in Hollywood — which would be a pretty good night if the Golden Raspberry Awards weren’t created to call out the worst films and performances of the year.

Not only did Saving Christmas “win” the Worst Picture category, but it also earned Cameron a Razzie in the Worst Actor category, earned screenwriters Darren Doane and Cheston Hervey a Razzie in the Worst Screenplay category, and even earned Cameron another Razzie in the Worst Screen Combo category, which was won by “Kirk Cameron and his ego.” Ouch.

Here’s how the rest of the Golden Raspberry Awards panned out:

Worst Actress: Cameron Diaz, The Other Woman and Sex Tape

Worst Supporting Actress: Megan Fox, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Worst Suppoting Actor: Kelsey Grammer, Expendables 3, Legends of Oz, Think Like a Man Too, and Transformers: Age of Extinction

Worst Director: Michael Bay, Transformers: Age of Extinction

Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel: Annie

Two men sit and talk in Body of Lies.

Welcome to the week of Ridley Scott. The 86-year-old filmmaker's next movie is Gladiator II, the 29th feature film in his illustrious five-decade career. The sequel to the Oscar-winning Gladiator, Gladiator II stars Paul Mescal as Lucius, the former heir to the throne and son of Maximus (Russell Crowe) and Lucilla (Connie Nielsen). After Roman forces kill his wife and force him into slavery, Lucius trains to be a gladiator and sets his sights on exacting his vengeance against the Empire.

Gladiator II will definitely be an awesome theatrical experience. After seeing Gladiator II, why not revisit more projects in Scott's filmography?

I'm not going to see either this weekend as both are expected to make tons of cash and draw in a lot of crowds in theaters over the next few days.

I'm content to stay in this weekend and queue up a good movie (or three) on Netflix. Feel the same way? Well, here's a handy list of a few underrated movies that are worth your time. You can always watch Glicked later in the year ... or never, if that's more your vibe.
