The Golden Kela awards, felicitating the worst of of the year in Bollywood, had the usual suspects singled out in its fifth edition, held over the weekend.
Ajay Devgn, who stars in Sajid Khan's latest offering Himmatwala, was crowned the Worst Actor for Ashwini Dhir's Son Of Sardaar and Rohit Shetty's Bol Bachchan.
Here's a look at other winners.
Sonakshi Sinha was awarded the Worst Actress, gong for 'Everything she did in 2012.'
And that included Dabangg 2, Rowdy Rathore, Son Of Sardaar, Joker and OMG (Oh My God).
Shirish Kunder's sci-fi film Joker, which had Sonakshi opposite Akshay Kumar, was awarded the Worst Film of the Year.
Shirish Kunder was adjudged the Worst Director for his film that met with a disastrous fate at the box office.
After spawning hilarious internet memes and parodies, Ishq wala love -- a romantic song from Karan Johar's Student Of The Year -- won the award for the Worst Lyrics for lyricist Anwita Dutt.
Akshay Kumar's quirky jig in Prabhu Deva's Rowdy Rathore may have been a hit with his die-hard fans but found few favours elsewhere.
The gibberish song won the Most Irritating Number award.
Owing to their increasingly weird and seemingly unevolved taste in films -- Rowdy Rathore, Singham and Dabangg have been some of the biggest hits in the recent past -- the Indian moviegoing audience won itself this rare honour.
Quite understandably, Salman Khan's return as the crusader cop Chulbul Pandey in Dabangg 2 was less than appreciated with this award's jury.
The film was named the Worst Sequel of 2012.
Son of producer Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani -- whose latest film Rangrezz failed to impress audiences -- is yet to find a foothold in the film industry despite his father's earnest attempts.
Hence, the award.
A newly-inducted award -- Superhit -- was given to Shah Rukh Khan for the now infamous slap he planted on Shirish Kunder's face at a party after the filmmaker made snide remarks about Ra.One.
Kunder won quite a few bit at the Golden Kela awards this year.
He got the Beta tumse na ho payega award, as he is yet to deliver a hit after directing flops like Jaaneman, Tees Maar Khan and Joker.
The Bhatts, known for making commercially viable films that mostly don't qualify for awards, were given the Bas kijiye bahot ho gaya award.
Anurag Kashyap's Gangs Of Wasseypur won the longest film of the year award.
