The RAZZIEŽ Awards

The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation

From the G.R.A.F.:
"The Golden Raspberry (RAZZIE®) Awards have ... grown into what E! On-Line ... called "the foremost authority on all things that suck on the big screen" [by] annually presenting Dis-Honors for Worst Achievements in Film since 1980 in categories ranging from the obvious (Worst Picture, Actor and Actress) to the obtuse (Worst Remake or Sequel and Worst Screen Couple)."
The important work of The RAZZIES® is not confined to awards season alone. The organization searches for and destroys bad films and difficult talents throughout the year with an ongoing Weblog of new and old sickening cinematic sightings laced with dire warnings to sidestep them. Founder John Wilson leads the team of snarky correspondents making sure movies remain your best entertainment -- even if it needs to be done by making fun of the dumb things.

What's at stake for the big losers? The official explanation explains, "Should they choose to accept their RAZZIES®, 'winners' receive a gold-spray-painted, golf-ball-sized raspberry atop a mangled Super-8 film reel, with an estimated street value of $4.97."
