Also called "The Razzies". And by "raspberry" we mean a [[Blowing a Raspberry|big, loud, wet one]], although the the trophy portrays, for simplicity's sake, a fruit.
When you've made a movie that's [[So Bad
The Razzies have been handed out since 1981, traditionaly on the evening before [[The Oscar]] nominations are announced. Understandably, very few people ever show up in person to accept their Raspberry, a gold-painted plastic statue costing "about $4.89". [[Medal of Dishonor|A few have though]], taking the suck-atude of their movie in stride (which [[Money, Dear Boy|makes you wonder]]). A few actors and films have won both Oscars and Razzies. A select few have been nominated for both awards ''for the same work''. Only one, in 2010, has ever won the same award in equivalent categories in the same year (albeit for different films - [[Sandra Bullock]] actually did turn up to collect both though, the Worst Actress Razzie for ''[[All About Steve]]'' and the Best Actress Oscar for ''[[The Blind Side]]'').
Two others won simultaneous awards: composer [[Alan Menken]] (Oscar for Score and Song in ''[[Aladdin (Disney)|Aladdin]]'', Razzie for Worst Song in ''[[Newsies]]'') and screenwriter Brian Helgeland (Oscar for ''[[LA Confidential]]'', Razzie for ''[[The Postman (Film)|The Postman]]'' - he decided to accept the Razzie, and they delivered it to him in his office). Among the people who showed up to collect awards are [[Halle Berry]] for ''[[Catwoman (Film)|Catwoman]]'' (bringing her Oscar to the ceremony!), Tom Green for ''[[Freddy Got Fingered]]'', and Paul Verhoeven for ''[[Showgirls]]''. [[Bill Cosby]] received his Razzie for ''Leonard Part Six'' on a talk show. The star of ''[[The Wild Wild West (TV)|The Wild Wild West]]'', Robert Conrad, picked up the awards for the [[Wild Wild West (Film)|ill-fated adaptation]] starring [[Will Smith]] as a protest.
