Razzies Name 'Last Airbender' Worst Picture

The golden Raspberry Foundation has spoken. Who took 'honors' as the worst that Hollywood had to offer last year?

When nominations were announced, the 31st annual Razzie Awards were clearly gunning for 'The Last Airbender,' 'Sex and the City 2' and 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.'

Director M. Night Shyamalan and his 3-D dud 'The Last Airbender,' turned out to be the biggest winner loser among the year's most notable flops.

'Airbender' won five Razzies: Worst Picture, Director, Screenplay and Supporting Actor (Jackson Rathbone, who was also nominated for his 'Eclipse' performance). Plus, the film also won Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3-D -- over the much-maligned 'Clash of the Titans.'

Trailing close behind with three wins was 'Sex and the City 2,' which nabbed Worst Actress for all four stars (Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis), Worst Ensemble and Worst Sequel.

Ashton Kutcher and Jessica Alba earned Razzies for Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress (Kutcher was cited for both 'Killers' and 'Valentine's Day'; Alba was nominted for panned performances in four different films).

The 'winners' were announced at a ceremony in Hollywood, one night before the Oscars, as is the Razzie tradition. EW.com reports that, unlike last year, when good sport Sandra Bullock dropped by in person to accept her Worst Actress Razzie for 'All about Steve' (hours before winning her Best Actress Oscar for 'The Blind Side'), no 2011 winners were present at this weekend's event to pick up their trophies.

The foundation says Razzie Awards were created to be the "logical antidote to Tinsel Town's annual glut of self-congratulatory awards." Did logic prevail? Here are all the 'wins' in this year's categories:
