On the day before the Oscar gala, Hollywood's "Golden Raspberry" prize was awarded for the 41st time.
For the first time this year, films from streaming services could also be nominated.
The musical drama "Music" won three "Golden Raspberries" or "Razzies", as the distributors of the not very serious prizes announced in a video message on Saturday.
Sia’s directorial debut brought the Australian the trophy for worst female director.
There were also shameful awards for Kate Hudson as the leading actress and Maddie Ziegler in the supporting role of a young autistic girl.
The film with its trendy dance and music interludes had been criticized for its handling of autism.

Hidden camera: Trump attorney Giuliani featured in the new Borat film
Two »razzies« went to the documentary »Absolute Proof« by the US businessman Mike Lindell, which was peppered with conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated election fraud allegations. The supporter of ex-President Donald Trump won the trophies for the worst actor and for the worst film. Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani also cleared twice for his unwanted appearance in the sequel to the satirical mockumentary »Borat«, in which he was tricked by actor Sacha Baron Cohen: Giuliani, 76, was in a compromising position with one of him Cohen's underage employee was filmed in his hotel room: with his hand in his pants. The appearance didn't cost him the job, but it brought him the ridiculous price as a supporting actor and for the worst screen combo (Giuliani and his pants zipper).
The makers of the controversial film »365 Days« from Poland were almost happy: The abusive soft porn was nominated in six categories because of the glorification of rape, but was only punished for the worst script in the end.
