Founder and Head Raspberry of the Golden Raspberry Awards Foundation, John Wilson performs what I always term a valuable public service on behalf of the moviegoing public by skewering the purveyors of bad cinema in a very public, very funny way every year at the Razzies.
I spoke with Wilson by phone on March 4, 2003, less than three weeks before the Razzies were handed out.
While we spent a respectable amount of time talking about the nominees, especially Madonna and her latest astonishingly failed attempt at movie stardom, SWEPT AWAY, we started the conversation with someone who was missing from the list of nominees for the first time since the 80s, Sylvester Stallone.

 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.

As an important pop-culture event, the Academy Awards presentation was once second to none, capturing the imaginations of the worldwide masses, routinely ranking among the highest rated television broadcasts of the year and enticing Cher to improbable flights of fabric-twisting fancy while easily earning its reputation as the undisputed Superbowl of the filmmaking world.
Nowadays, the Golden Globe Awards, always held in January, are seen as a kind of pre-Academy litmus test, anticipated as a laid-back Oscar-lite affair, at which celebrities become drunk and disorderly and say wonderfully embarrassing things.
The awards are not annual; Lewis merely posts his favorites as the mood hits him, but as evidence of the award's significance, he proudly mentions the written response received from Zee Medical Supply, maker of the towelette that was once nominated for best in the "medical" category.
