The Razzie Awards, officially known as the Golden Raspberries, are an annual event that honors the worst films and performances in the movie industry. Established in 1980 by John Wilson, the awards aim to provide a humorous counterpoint to the prestigious Academy Awards. Winners are determined by a voting membership that includes film enthusiasts and critics. Categories include Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and Worst Actress, among others. The ceremony typically takes place the day before the Academy Awards, highlighting the contrast between celebrated and criticized works in cinema.
