The Golden Raspberry (Razzies®) awards are the brainchild of John J.B. Wilson. The Razzies® celebrate the worst that Hollywood has to offer for a given year. Wilson started the Razzies® back in 1980, and they have grown into a yearly fun event…..unless of course you are one of the nominees or the winners. The Razzies® follow in the tradition of the Medved brother’s Golden Turkey Awards and the Harvard Lampoon “Movie Worst” Awards.
This page looks at the winners or should I say loser of the Worst Picture of the year. All the Razzie® Winning Movies are listed in the following table. The table ranks 37 Razzie Winning Movies movies from Best to Worst in five different sortable columns of information.

Things I Find Interesting About The Razzie Winning Movies
1. Sandra Bullock actually proved what a good sport she was by picking up her Razzie® for All About Steve the night before she won her Oscar® for The Blindside. Halle Berry also picked up her Razzie® and gave a very funny acceptance speech.
2. Internet Movie Database (IMDb) actually lists Razzie® wins and nominations under the awards section for each actor and actress on their website.
3. Adam Sandler has been nominated for 20 Razzie® nominations over the years. He has won 5 Razzies®.
4. Sylvester Stallone has received 28 Razzie® nominations. Stallone has won 8 Razzies® in his career…..he also won Worst Actor of the decade and Worst Actor of the century Razzies®. One of his Razzies® was shared with James Cameron for their writing on Rambo: First Blood Part 2.
5. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were married from 1987 to 2000. During that time frame they managed to star in 4 movies that won Razzies® for Worst movie(Hudson Hawk, Striptease, Color of Night and Indecent Proposal). They also managed to make 5 other movies that were nominated for Worst movie(North, Nothing But Trouble, Bonfire of the Vanities, The Scarlett Letter and Armageddon). Being a big Bruce Willis fan…..it actually hurt to type this possibly interesting fact.
6. Another great source for really bad movies are the books written by Michael Medved and his brother Harry Medved. Those books look at many movies made before 1980 and are called The Fifty Worst Movies of All Time, The Golden Turkey Awards, and The Son of the Golden Turkey Awards.

My husband is more of the movie buff… for me I have never actually heard about the Razzies before but you mentioned Jack and Jill so I was curious because I love Adam Sandler, but an in depth look at most of his movies shows that unless you get that kind of humor – most of his movies are bad in a delightful way! 😉 Luckily for me – I haven’t seen most of these movies. I take it I have been spared! LOL
Hey barbergirl28…..thanks for checking out my Razzie hub…..I have always enjoyed the Razzies and the Golden Turkeys books which came out before the Razzies….they take a fun look at some really bad movies.
As for Sandler, many people do not like his movies but many people love his movies….his box office power has been going strong now for almost 20 years…..as for Jack and Jill….there is a scene in the movie where Pacino tells Jack….you have to burn all copies of the commerical that was in the movie…..I am sure Pacino wishes Sandler would burn all copies of the movie in real life.
Glad that you have been able to avoid most of these movies….I sadly can not make the same claim.
Mommie Dearest was a good movie In my opinion, and I’m also not ashamed to admit I like Wild Wild West.
Haven’t seen Jack and Jill But It was made by Adam Sandler so that says It all right there.
Hey Sammi…..Mommie Dearest has a pretty decent following….and it actually turned out to be decent at the box office as well. I do not think you are missing anything by not seeing Jack and Jill….thanks for the comment.
What a horrible movie that Jack and Jill scam was, and what a wonderful concept the Razzies really are.
Hey Matt….Jack and Jill was a classic misfire….and it seems to have a lasting impact as Sandler’s latest movie…That’s My Boy died at the box office…..and as much as people dislike him…you have to give him credit for his outstanding box office muscle…..but maybe his 20 year run is getting near the end….but then again how look can a almost 50 year old play an immature man child. Thanks for the visit.
I saw Jack and Jill and it is not surprising that so many Razzies were awarded to this movie.
However, I really enjoyed Pacino’s performance.
Hey Sueswan…glad you enjoyed Pacino’s part in Jack and Jill…I have only seen bits and pieces of his role in the movie…thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for reminding us of the many Hollywood follies. I love the Razzies as they show the sheer arrogance/lack of insight/ blindness of the number of people involved- who would happily let such stinkers greenlit, made and released. Creative blindness is a curious thing – why wouldn’t anyone speak up say, ‘C’mon guys I think we are making a stinker’/ perhaps they just take the money and run?
This is a great list. It brings back painful memories of trusting some of the people involved and parting with my hard earned cash to watch some of these!!
However, I think some doe fall under a ‘its so bad its good’ category and is worth a good laugh when a few friends get drunk together.
Hey Docmo….you make a good point about some of these movies being so bad that they are good. So classic clunkers are on this list though….although I know SteveLensman has a soft spot for Battlefield Earth.
