The "Worst Supporting Actress" award is a category presented by the Golden Raspberries, also known as the Razzies. This award recognizes the least favorable performances by actresses in supporting roles in film. It aims to highlight what the organization considers poor acting, often in movies that are critically panned. The Razzies were established in 1980 and are held annually, typically the day before the Academy Awards. Nominees for the "Worst Supporting Actress" category are selected based on public votes and critical reviews, celebrating the lighter side of cinema by poking fun at less successful films and performances.
