The Golden Raspberry Awards, also known as "The Razzies," have been a staple of the movie fan world since their inception in 1980. Billed as the opposite of the Oscars, the Razzies celebrate the worst in film for each year, with categories such as Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor, and Worst Actress. Initially a small ceremony, the Razzies have attracted enough attention that some winners, such as Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock, have actually shown up to accept their awards.
While the Razzies can be amusing, they often fall into familiar trends and pick on easy targets, such as big budget flops and divisive artistic films, and tend to target well-known films featuring famous actors rather than the actual worst films of the year. Also, the Razzies often pick the same group of films in nearly every category, and rarely go for out of the box outliers.
