The Golden delicious Raspberry Awards , or in shortened Razzie Awards (of the English meaning “Gold Raspberries literally”) are a Parodie of reward of Cinéma, created by John Wilson in 1980 to take to the opposite course to the Oscars while distinguishing each year the worst actors, scenario writers, musicians, realizers and films produced by cinema industry. The voters are the members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation . Traditionally, the nominations for the Razzies are announced a Jour before those of the Oscars, and the rewards are also allotted the day before ceremony of the Oscars.

The English word “ raspberry ” is used in reference to the expression “ blowing has raspberry ”, which means to make a noise of derision similar to that of the Flatulence.

Then, when Tom Green sought Get stuffed his 5 rewards for Freddy! in 2002, of which that of “Worse Film”.

Lastly, more recently, Halle Berry created sensation when, holding a Oscar in a hand and its Razzie in the other, it devoted to a parodic speech thanks with the ceremony of 2004. Halle Berry had just gained the razzie “Worse Actress” for her role in Catwoman , film which was also distinguished in 3 other categories. Shortly after this incident, John Wilson made a statement with the press, greeting the performances of Halle Berry in her other roles and wishing him good luck for the future Oscars.
