The Golden Raspberry Awards, commonly known as the Razzie Awards or simply the Razzies, are parody awards presented for the worst films and performances of the year. Co-founded by UCLA film graduates and film industry veterans John J. B. Wilson and Mo Murphy, the annual satirical ceremony was created as a tongue-in-cheek counterpart to the Academy Awards, which predates it by about five decades. The term raspberry is used in its irreverent sense, as in "blowing a raspberry". The award statuette consists of a golf ball-sized raspberry mounted on a Super 8 mm film reel, which sits atop a 35 mm film core wrapped in brown wood-grain shelf paper and placed on a gold-painted jar lid. The Golden Raspberry Foundation has said the award "encourages well-known filmmakers and top-notch performers to own their badness".
The 1st ceremony was held on March 31, 1981, in John J. B. Wilson's living room alcove in Hollywood, honoring the worst films of the 1980 film season. Sylvester Stallone has won the most Razzies, with 12.
