Fifty Shades of Grey came out on top – or perhaps the bottom – at this year’s Razzies.

The awkward adaptation of author EL James’ erotic novel nabbed five prizes at Saturday’s Golden Raspberry Awards, including tying it up with superhero flop Fantastic Four as the year’s worst film.

Fifty Shades of Grey also “won” for worst screenplay, worst actor for Jamie Dornan and worst actress for Dakota Johnson, with the pair pinning down the worst screen combo award.

In addition to tying for worst film of the year, Fantastic Four was also lambasted as worst remake, rip-off or sequel and earned the worst director prize for Josh Trank.

Other dishonours included Kaley Cuoco as worst supporting actress for Alvin & The Chipmunks: Road Chip and Eddie Redmayne as worst supporting actor for Jupiter Ascending. Redmayne won the best actor trophy at last year’s Academy Awards for portraying Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.
