 BBC - h2g2 - Golden Raspberry Awards AKA 'The Razzies'
Golden Raspberry Awards (popularly known as 'Razzies') are alternative awards to the 'Oscars', Golden Globes and BAFTAs.
The 'awards' in each available section are voted upon by the members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, who actually are film professionals, journalists and movie fans, but should it be a close-run thing then the president gets the deciding vote.
When Paul Verhoeven won this award for Showgirls in 1996, he was the first nominee in the history of the event to attend the presentation, and he accepted his trophy with good grace.

 Prize fight - The Boston Globe
But in his new book, ''The Economy of Prestige: Prizes, Awards, and the Circulation of Cultural Value" (Harvard), James F. English, a professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, argues that prizes and the fisticuffs they inspire are more central to the literary-value game than most of us care to think.
The Nobel Prizes (born in 1901) and the Academy Awards (1929) provide the models for the two main variants of the modern prize: One aspires solely to honor art, the other to combine art with a moneymaking event.
As with the Oscars, Golden Globes, MTV Movie Awards, and the Golden Raspberry Awards (for worst films and performances), the trend is for prestigious prizes to spawn rivals--in time they all come to resemble each other--and parodies.
