  Golden Raspberry Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Raspberry Awards or Razzies were created by John Wilson in 1980, intended to complement the Academy Awards by dishonoring the worst acting, screenwriting, songwriting, directing, and films that the film industry had to offer.
The term "raspberry" is used in its irreverent sense, as in "blowing a raspberry." In Cockney rhyming slang, "raspberry" means flatulence, "raspberry tart" rhyming with "fart".
It was awarded in 2003 to Travis Payne for "Distinguished Under-Achievement in Choreography" in the film From Justin to Kelly.

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.
