For the first time in the 35-year-old award show’s history, the Golden Raspberry Awards (the official title) will give the Razzie Redeemer Award to a former Razzie winner who turned things around in 2014 with quality work. Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Stewart, Mike Meyers and Keanu Reeves are all up for the award. Here’s some background about the annual event and its other, not-so-charitable awards: **How did the Razzies start?** Copywriter and publicist John Wilson held the first awards in 1980\. “I was looking for something to do when the show was over, because in L.A. they end by 10 p.m.,” [Wilson told the BBC in 2007](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6392701.stm). “So I set up a cardboard podium in my living room, put a foam ball on a broomstick to create a microphone and just asked people to make random award presentations.” He sent out a press release the next year and soon major news outlets were covering the low-budget ceremony. **Who determines the winners?** More than 600 voters in the U.S. and more than a dozen foreign countries take part in the ballots. It’s not an exclusive organization or a secret society — you can [purchase your membership](http://www.razzies.com/join.asp) at the Razzie website. **That sounds … legit.** Well, the awards have been criticized for not [requiring voters to have actually watched the movies](http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/why-the-razzies-are-the-worst-awards-ever-20150105?utm%5Fcampaign=why-the-razzies-are-the-worst-awards-ever-20150105&utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=Facebook&utm%5Fcontent=why-the-razzies-are-the-worst-awards-ever-20150105) they’re slamming in their votes, according to _IndieWire_. **When are they held?** The night before the Oscars. This year, that’s Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. at Hollywood’s Montalban Theatre. “We finally figured out you couldn’t compete with the Oscars on Oscar night, but if you went the night before, when the press from all over the world are here and they are looking for something to do, it could well catch on,” Wilson told the BBC. **Do celebrities attend?** While most celebrities do not attend the awards, occasional good-humored stars have embraced the opportunity to own up to their less-than-stellar work. In 2005, Halle Barry accepted her Worst Actress Razzie for _Catwoman_ while holding her Oscar for _Monster’s Ball_ in the other hand. In 2010, Sandra Bullock showed up to accept to her Worst Actress Razzie for _All About Steve_ and handed out DVDs of the film to the audience, imploring them to actually watch it. **What do the “losers” win?** Razzie trophies are spray-painted gold and cost approximately $4.97, according to the awards. You can see examples of the relatively small trophy, consisting of a raspberry sitting atop a Super 8 mm film reel, [here](http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly%5Ffs/1.165860!/img/httpImage/image.jpg%5Fgen/derivatives/article%5F970/alg-actress-sandra-bullock-jpg.jpg) and [here](http://time.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/razzie-530-johnhalle.jpeg). **Who are the repeat offenders?** Madonna, Eddie Murphy and Kevin Costner have all been nominated more than a dozen times with a handful of wins, but even they have better luck than top hall of shame mainstrays Sylvester Stallone (32 nominations, 10 wins) and Adam Sandler (22 nominations, 6 wins). **Who was nominated this year?** Here’s a list of the nominees, [via _People_](http://www.people.com/article/2015-razzie-nominations): **Worst Picture** _Kirk Cameron’s_ _Saving Christmas_ _Left Behind_ _The Legend of Hercules_ _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_ _Transformers: Age of Extinction_ **Worst Actor** Nicolas Cage, _Left Behind_ Kirk Cameron, _Saving Christmas_ Kellan Lutz, _The Legend of Hercules_ Seth MacFarlane, _A Million Ways to Die in the West_ Adam Sandler, _Blended_ **Worst Actress** Drew Barrymore, _Blended_ Cameron Diaz, _The Other Woman_ and _Sex Tape_ Melissa McCarthy, _Tammy_ Charlize Theron, _A Million Ways to Die in the West_ Gaia Weiss, _The Legend of Hercules_ **Razzie Redeemer Award** Ben Affleck, _Gone Girl_ Jennifer Aniston, _Cake_ Mike Myers, director of documentary _Supermensch_ Keanu Reeves, _John Wick_ Kristen Stewart, _Camp X-Ray_ **Worst Supporting Actress** Cameron Diaz, _Annie_ Megan Fox, _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_ Nicola Peltz, _Transformers 4_ Brigitte Ridenour (Kirk Cameron’s sister), _Saving Christmas_ Susan Sarandon, _Tammy_ **Worst Supporting Actor** Mel Gibson, _Expendables 3_ Kelsey Grammer, _Expendables 3, Legends of Oz, Think Like a Man Too_ and _Transformers 4_ Shaquille O’Neal, _Blended_ Arnold Schwarzenegger, _Expendables 3_ Kiefer Sutherland, _Pompeii_ **Worst Director** Michael Bay, _Transformers 4_ Darren Doane , _Saving Christmas_ Renny Harlin, _The Legend of Hercules_ Jonathan Liebesman, _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_ Seth MacFarlane, _A Million Ways to Die in the West_ **Worst Screen Combo** Any Two Robots, Actors or Robotic Actors, _Transformers 4_ Kirk Cameron & His Ego, _Saving Christmas_ Cameron Diaz & Jason Segel, _Sex Tape_ Kellan Lutz & Either His Abs, His Pecs or His Glutes, _The Legend of Hercules_ Seth MacFarlane & Charlize Theron, _A Million Ways to Die in the West_ **Worst Screenplay** _Saving Christmas_ _Sex Tape_ _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_ _Transformers 4_ **Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel** _Annie_ _Atlas Shrugged #3: Who Is John Galt?_ _The Legend of Hercules_ _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_ _Transformers 4_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3666870/razzie-awards-2015/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3666870/razzie-awards-2015/"},"headline":"What Are the Razzie Awards?","datePublished":"2015-01-14T14:27:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:33:26.064Z","description":"A guide to the annual celebration of Hollywood's worst","url":"https://time.com/3666870/razzie-awards-2015/","keywords":["movies","Ben Affleck","gone girl","Transformers"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3666870/razzie-awards-2015/","name":"What Are the Razzie Awards?"}}]}] ```
