The movie’s leading man, Jamie Dornan, picked up the Worst Actor award for his turn as brooding businessman Christian Grey, while Dakota Johnson won Worst Actress for her role as the dominated Anastasia Steele. The pair, panned for their lack of chemistry onscreen, were also honored with the Worst Screen Combo award.
The adult film, which was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and took more than $570 million, also shared the Worst Film of the Year award with superhero movie Fantastic Four.
The Marvel flick, starring Miles Teller and Kate Mara, was given the Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel award, and director Josh Trank was honored with Worst Director.
