The Golden Raspberry Awards, the 38th annual gala honoring the worst performances in movies in 2017, were announced Saturday night. The Emoji Movie took home the Worst Picture award, the first animated film to achieve that dubious distinction. The movie also took home statues for Worst Screenplay, Worst Director, and Worst Screen Combo, nebulously given to “any two obnoxious emojis” from the film.
Tom “Running in movies since 1981” Cruise won the award for Worst Actor for his performance in The Mummy. It was the first Razzie for the veteran leading man, who was previously nominated for Cocktail and War of the Worlds.
Tyler Perry took home a Razzie for Worst Actress in the film Boo 2! A Madea Halloween.
Oscar Winners Mel Gibson and Kim Basinger won the Worst Supporting Razzies for their performances in Daddy’s Home 2 and Fifty Shades Darker, respectively.
In a shocker, perennial Razzie favorite Michael Bay’s latest Transformers outing came up empty-handed, despite leading the pack with nine nominations.

The app, which has just rolled out for Apple TV and Google TV, basically takes the video content and livestreams from the creators you already subscribe to and splashes them onto the biggest screen in your house. It is a smart, calculated move toward what the tech industry calls a "lean-back" experience. Instead of hunching over a laptop or squinting at a smartphone screen to watch a forty-minute interview or a deep-dive lecture, you can now throw it on the TV while you cook dinner, fold laundry, or just relax on the couch.
