  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 SAG awards focus on both individual performances as well as on the work of the entire ensemble of a drama series and comedy series, and the cast of a motion picture.
In past years, the awards show has paid tribute to stunt performers, background singers, dancers, background performers, animation voice-over performers, and commercial actors (although paying tribute is a far cry from actually winning an award in a recognized category for your work).

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.
