The Golden Raspberry Awards 2025
- Mar 9, 2025, Los Angeles, California, USA
The Golden Raspberry Awards is an award show with a difference. Unlike the Academy Awards or Baftas that celebrate cinematic achievements, the ceremony, affectionally known as the Razzies or Razzie Awards, aims to honor the movie industry’s biggest failures of the year.
The annual event was co-founded by John J. B. Wilson and Mo Murphy, UCLA film graduates and industry veterans, who wanted to create a satirical award ceremony.
For instance, the word raspberry represents “blowing a raspberry” with your mouth, and the award winners will receive a statue of a gold-spray painted raspberry that sits atop a super 8mm film reel.

When is the 45th Golden Raspberry Awards?
The Golden Raspberry Awards is scheduled for March 9, 2025, and will celebrate the film industry’s biggest failures throughout 2024.
The event is deliberately scheduled near the Academy Awards to generate as much press coverage as possible.
At present, the Razzies aren’t broadcast on TV. There were plans for the first-ever televised show in 2020, but it never came to fruition due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Instead, John J. B. Wilson hands out the awards via his living room, and the event is seemingly growing in scale and size each year, earning considerable press attention.
What are the Golden Raspberry Awards’ Categories?
There are currently ten awards up for grabs at the Razzies, which are:
- Worst Picture
- Worst Actor
- Worst Actress
- Worst Supporting Actor
- Worst Supporting Actress
- Worst Screen Combo
- Worst Screenplay
- Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel
- Worst Director
- Worst Animated Film
- Razzie Redeemer Award
Also, the Razzies has included special categories for specific years, such as Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property in 1997 and 2019.
When are the Razzies Nominees Announced?
The nominations and awards are typically revealed the day before the Oscars. A select committee will choose the nominees, and ballots are issued to its members.
Membership is open to anyone for a fee, as the public can become a voting member by paying $40 annually or buying a lifetime membership for $500.
Therefore, the awards are chosen by everyday people from across various corners of the globe.
Many films, actors, and actresses have been tipped to receive a nomination this year. For instance, Madame Webb, starring Sydney Sweeney and Dakota Johson, is a likely contender for Worst Picture, as it has a 12% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Also, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey won the award for Worst Picture in 2024, and it’s possible its sequel, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, will receive a nomination and potentially another win.
Megan Fox, a double Razzies 2024 winner, is quickly becoming a likely nominee for Worst Actress due to much criticism for her performance in the sci-fi thriller Subservience.
Will Celebrities Accept Their Golden Raspberry Award?
Most celebrities will not accept their award at the Razzies. However, some actors, actresses, writers, producers, and directors have picked up their awards in the past, such as Sandra Bullock (Worst Actress), Tom Green (Worst Actor), Paul Verhoeven (Worst Director), and J.D. Shapiro (Worst Screenplay).
