Razzies 2019: 'Holmes & Watson' wins worst picture, Donald Trump gets multiple awards

It's elementary, Sherlock: "Holmes & Watson" is the worst.

The critically pummeled Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly comedy won four "honors" – including worst picture – at the 39th annual Razzies, the awards given out by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation to a slew of bad cinema on the eve of the Academy Awards. "Holmes" also took home worst remake, ripoff or sequel, worst supporting actor for Reilly and worst director for Etan Cohen.

Another big winner (or loser, depending on your perspective): President Donald Trump snagged two Razzies, including worst actor and worst screen combo (with "his self-perpetuating pettiness"), for Dinesh D'Souza's conservative faux documentary "Death of A Nation" and Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 11/9." White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway also won worst supporting actress (as herself) in "Fahrenheit 11/9." 

Watson (John C. Reilly, left), Queen Victoria (Pam Ferris) and Sherlock Holmes (Will Ferrell) are ready for their selfie in "Holmes & Watson."

Melissa McCarthy picked up two Razzies, though not all was bad news: She nabbed worst actress for "The Happytime Murders" and "Life of the Party" but also got the Razzie Redeemer Award for following up those projects with an Oscar-nominated turn in "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"
