Television star turned Evangelical minister Kirk Cameron took home the top prizes Saturday night at this year’s Razzie Awards, a celebration of the year’s worst films. Cameron’s _Saving_ _Christmas_, which IMDB users have ranked as the [worst movie](http://time.com/3621867/kirk-cameron-saving-christmas-worst-movie-imdb/) of all time, took home four Razzies, including worst picture.

“It’s about on the level of a super 8 movie from when I was a kid. It has no cinematic value at all,” Razzie founder John Wilson told the [BBC](http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-31573835) after the show, held on the eve of the Academy Awards.

Other big winners included Michael Bay, who won worst director for _Transformers 4: Age of Extinction_, and Cameron Diaz, who won worst actress for _The Other Woman_ and _Sex Tape._

Ben Affleck, who previously won a Razzie for _Gigli,_ won the “Razzie Redeemer Award,” which acknowledges a recipient’s turnaround. The actor starred in the critically acclaimed _Gone Girl_ last year.

Saturday’s ceremony, combining humor and biting criticism, marked the 35th Annual Gold Raspberries.
