Santa Claus isn’t the only guy making a list and checking it twice. We’ve watched over the entertainment industry with the same critical gaze that Old Saint Nick does for all the boys and girls out there. We’ve liked a lot of what 2014 has brought us. Some other things—well, let’s just say that a lump of coal would be mercy. As we all sweat out the the lead in to Christmas by acting on our best behavior, we present the Naughty and Nice List of 2014. Santa would be proud.

Michael Bay
Michael Bay is usually known for putting out one stinker a year, but he really outdid himself by directing Transformers: Age of Extinction and producing the equally-abysmal Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. Each exercise in gratuitous CGI action sequencing seemed more interest in product placement and freeze-dried performances than delivering an actual story. With each film pulling less than a 25% “Rotten” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clear that Santa isn’t the only one disappointed with Mr. Bay’s efforts. Are there any Transformers out there that turn into pieces of coal?
