Before the world gets to know about the best of best films of 2016 in the 89th Annual Academy Awards, here's list of the worst of the worsts; or perhaps best of the worsts.

Annual Golden Raspberry Awards or Razzies, the exact opposite of Annual Academy Awards, have come up with the list of its winners, on February 25.

Basically, Razzie members, from all over the world, cast their votes and select the "winners" for the best of the worsts.

This year, 'Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party' bagged the 'worst picture' trophy, giving a tough competition to 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.'

According to CNN, a statement from the Razzies read, "It all came down to two decidedly different examples of cinematic sludge: The $250 million comic book oop-us 'Batman v Superman' and the faux right wing 'documentary' 'Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party."

On this note, both films received four Razzie Award trophies, traditionally announced the day before the Academy Awards.

Here's the complete list of Razzie winners, rather 'losers':

WORST PICTURE- Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party
