U.S. President Donald Trump and a comedy movie take on “Sherlock Holmes” on Saturday topped the annual Razzie awards for the worst performances and films of 2018.

“Holmes & Watson,” starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, was the biggest winner, taking four trophies including worst film and worst rip-off. Reilly was named worst supporting actor in what Razzie founder John Wilson called the “clueless parody” of the classic detective tale. Etan Cohen also took home worst director award.

The Razzies, created in 1980, serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s Oscars. Winners are announced a day before Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony.

Trump won two Razzies for worst actor and worst screen combo appearing as himself in the 2018 documentaries “Death of a Nation,” from Dinesh D’Souza, and Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 11/9.” White House aide Kellyanne Conway was voted worst supporting actress for her archival footage in “Fahrenheit 11/9.”

In an unusual combination, Melissa McCarthy was deemed worst actress for her puppet comedy “The Happytime Murders” and comedy “Life of the Party,” but was also given the Razzie Redeemer award for her Oscar-nominated role in literary drama “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”

“Gotti,” about late New York mafia boss John Gotti, escaped entirely despite getting six nominations, including worst picture, actor and “worst screen combo” for stars John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston.

Nominees and winners of the Razzies are voted for online by around 1,000 Razzie members from 24 countries, who sign up online and pay a US$40 membership fee.
