M Night Shyamalan took top dishonours at the Golden Raspberry Awards in Los Angeles last night.

The director's critically-mauled fantasy The Last Airbender swept the board at the shaming ceremony that hands out 'prizes' to the worst of the year's films.

It picked up four gongs Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, Worst Eye-Gouging Use of 3D and Worst director for Shyamalan.

Unsurpsingly, the Sixth Sense moviemaker wasn't at the pre-Oscars event to collect his haul.

The film famously featured such unintentionally hilarious dialogue as "The Fire Nation's plan is to suppress all bending".

Sex And The City 2 was also battered by the board, with the four female leads Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Catrall and Kristin Davis scooping the Worst Actress and Worst Ensemble accolades.

The film won Worst Prequel, Sequel, Remake or Ripoff.

Commenting on it, Razzies founder John Wilson said, "It was released in the middle of a period of American history when everyone's scrounging not to lose their homes.

"And these women are riding around in Rolls-Royces, buying expensive shoes and just throwing money around like they're drunk."

Elsewhere, Ashton Kutcher was named Worst Actor for his roles in Killers and Valentine's Day.

Jessica Alba took Worst Supporting Actress for a quartet of offences in Little Fockers, Machete, Valentine's Day and The Killer Inside Me.
