What are the Razzies?

Outside of The Oscars, there’s an awards ceremony that aims to honour a group of films from a particular year. 

Nicholas Cage

The Razzies, known as the Golden Raspberry Awards, take a very different look at the film industry. 

At each ceremony, there are a number of different awards.

One of the more humorous awards was won by Con-Air in 1997. The film took home the award for ‘Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property'. Despite this award, it was also nominated for several Oscars in the same year. It’s not the only film to have been nominated for both awards. It has also happened to the Addams Family and Armageddon.  

Who 'won' in 2021?

The 41st edition of the Golden Raspberry Awards took place on April 24, 2021. Absolute Proof was named as Worst Picture, Mike Lindell  was seen as the Worst Actor. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was named as the Worst Supporting Actor for his role in 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.'

Other iconic winners

The Razzie for being 'So Rotten You Loved' was awarded to Baywatch in 2017. In 2019, Rambo: Last Blood took home the award for Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property. This was following in the footsteps of Con Air from 1997. 

In 2006, Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman won the award for 'Worst Screen Couple' following their romance in Bewitched.

This video from WatchMojo.com takes a look at the Top 10 Razzie Award Winning Movies. This video resulted in a lot of YouTube comments. 

One user said: Jack and Jill was recently running on German television, and the advertisements pointed out that it has won many awards. They didn't mention that those were Razzies!"
