Get your low down on what's happening in the world of Hollywood, right here!

M Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender took top dishonours at the Razzies, taking away five Golden Raspberry Awards.

The Razzies are famous for Hollywood's Oscar spoof mocking the year's worst performances.

The fantasy action film about people who can control fire, air, water and earth stole the show, despite making 320m dollars at global box offices reports the BBC.

Shyamalan who won an Oscar nomination in 1999 for The Sixth Sense -- adapted the film from the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

"He managed to take a cartoon property and make it even less lifelike by making it with real actors," said Razzies founder John Wilson.

"Most people who like the show, and this would include my 14-year-old son hated the movie. It made no sense whatsoever," added Wilson.
