“Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas” has a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and it’s currently topping the list of 100 worst movies of all time on IMDB – yes, below even “Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2.”

Now the movie finds itself showing up several times on the shortlist for the Razzies, the annual awards that “honor” the worst Hollywood has to offer. Based on the shortlist of Razzie nominees posted last the weekend at Gold Derby, “Saving Christmas” could be up for as many as six awards, including worst picture, worst actor (Cameron) and worst screen combo (“Kirk Cameron and His Ego”). Whether this is some atheist conspiracy to keep Christ out of Christmas is up for debate.

“Saving Christmas” isn’t the movie that pops up the most times on the list. That would be Seth MacFarlane’s “A Million Ways to Die in the West,” which could be up for as many as eight awards. But “Saving Christmas” is a pretty niche movie to have gotten so much attention. Most of the other movies on the worst picture list were big-budget time-sucks, some of which did pretty well at the box office. “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” for example, brought in more than $1 billion worldwide. “Saving Christmas” brought in about $2.7 million, less than another contender, “The Interview,” which most theaters were too afraid to screen. On the worst picture list, only “Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt?” was more of a box office dud, with a return of less than $850,000.

So why all the ignominy for a comparatively small movie? Cameron only has himself to blame. The trailer alone of the movie is a barely watchable mess. But when “Saving Christmas” started to draw bad reviews, rather than admit that the movie was kind of lame, Cameron came out with a conspiracy theory: Non-believers were out to get him, he reasoned. For him, it was the only logical explanation.

Had he not protested, “Saving Christmas” might have faded away, along with other arguably worthy worst picture contenders that didn’t make the short list. (Looking at you, “Behaving Badly” and “Vampire Academy.”)

Voters can still nominate movies via write-in, so it’s possible that “Saving Christmas” won’t make the nominations list come Jan. 14.

Meanwhile, a number of Razzie mainstays could once again be contenders. Three-time winner Adam Sandler is on the shortlist for worst actor (“Blended”) and four-time nominee Michael Bay is up for worst director for the fourth “Transformers” installment. But somehow Sylvester Stallone – the all-time worst actor leader – didn’t make the short list for his leading role in “The Expendables 3.” Now that is a Christmas miracle.
