Horror film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, an adaptation of the beloved children’s book, was the big winner at this year’s Razzies.
It swept all five categories it was nominated for, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Screen Couple (Pooh and Piglet) and Worst Remake/Rip-off/Sequel.
Megan Fox also picked up two awards, Worst Actress for her role in Johnny & Clyde and Worst Supporting Actress for Expend4bles.
Jon Voight was awarded Worst Actor owing to his "Lucky Charms leprechaun" Irish accent in Mercy.
Sylvester Stallone also took home the Worst Supporting Actor prize for his role in Expend4bles. Stallone was previously crowned Worst Actor of the Decade in 1990 and Worst Actor of the Century in 2000.
Meanwhile, The Nanny actress Fran Drescher won the Razzie Redeemer Award, given to a past Razzie contender who has “gone on to better things”. She was lauded for her leadership as Sag-Aftra president during last year's actors strikes.
Drescher was previously nominated for Worst Actress in 1998 for her role in the rom-com The Beautician and The Beast.
The Razzies, also known as the Golden Raspberry Awards, are held annually and recognise the worst films and performances of the year. Usually held the night before the Oscars, the awards are meant to poke fun and serve as a “reality check” for stars.

What is the FNC?
The Federal National Council is one of five federal authorities established by the UAE constitution. It held its first session on December 2, 1972, a year to the day after Federation.
It has 40 members, eight of whom are women. The members represent the UAE population through each of the emirates. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have eight members each, Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah six, and Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain have four.
They bring Emirati issues to the council for debate and put those concerns to ministers summoned for questioning.
The FNC’s main functions include passing, amending or rejecting federal draft laws, discussing international treaties and agreements, and offering recommendations on general subjects raised during sessions.
Federal draft laws must first pass through the FNC for recommendations when members can amend the laws to suit the needs of citizens. The draft laws are then forwarded to the Cabinet for consideration and approval.
Since 2006, half of the members have been elected by UAE citizens to serve four-year terms and the other half are appointed by the Ruler’s Courts of the seven emirates.
In the 2015 elections, 78 of the 252 candidates were women. Women also represented 48 per cent of all voters and 67 per cent of the voters were under the age of 40.

Know your Camel lingo
The bairaq is a competition for the best herd of 50 camels, named for the banner its winner takes home
Namoos - a word of congratulations reserved for falconry competitions, camel races and camel pageants. It best translates as 'the pride of victory' - and for competitors, it is priceless
Asayel camels - sleek, short-haired hound-like racers
Majahim - chocolate-brown camels that can grow to weigh two tonnes. They were only valued for milk until camel pageantry took off in the 1990s
Millions Street - the thoroughfare where camels are led and where white 4x4s throng throughout the festival
