[edit] Moving the pages

I'm planning on moving all of the "YEAR Golden Raspberries" pages to "YEAR-1 Golden Raspberry Awards". This obviously needs some justification. It's a two-part change, so I'll handle them seperately.

Changing from YEAR to YEAR-1 (eg. 1981 to 1980) is necessary for clarity. The page 1981 Golden Raspberries is not about movies released in 1981, it is about movies released in 1980. This is not only counterintuitive, but it conflicts with the numbering used by the Golden Raspberry Awards themselves. [1]

As for the text part of the title, that's more subjective. However, changing it means the year part of the titles can be corrected without page deletions.

The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation predominantly refers to the awards in three ways:

• Golden Raspberry Award
• RAZZIE Award
• RAZZIE

Note that the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation almost never uses the term Golden Raspberries. They either use the full title, or the razzie contraction.

I prefer the visual of 1980 Golden Raspberry Awards to 1980 RAZZIE Awards, 1980 RAZZIEs, 1980 Razzie Awards, or 1980 Razzies.

I also plan on moving Golden Raspberries to Golden Raspberry Awards, for the same reason.

Any objections?

Fine with me, but you may want to consider a RAZZIE redirect since it is in such common use. Davodd 07:18, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)

Probably a good idea. There's already several redirects that will have to be... redirected. Adding one for a link that's actually in use (Kiss of Death, Earth Girls Are Easy) won't hurt. -- Cyrius 07:43, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki

Good call on the MediaWiki Razzie years for the footer. Davodd 11:14, Mar 13, 2004 (UTC)

1999 is listed twice instead of 1989

Gah, typo. The actual link was still correct, which is probably why I didn't notice. Because of caching issues with {{msg:}} it may take some time for the fix to show up. -- Cyrius 04:27, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Quotation marks

Does anyone else find all the extra quotes "distracting" ("award", "nomination", etc.)? localh77 16:24, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

I "agree". They are gone now. Rl 16:41, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category and list?

Do we need to add all the winners and nominees to a category in addition to their inclusion on a list? Isn't one or the other sufficient? The Raspberry award is not as famous or noteworthy as some other awards. -Willmcw 20:27, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

but its unique. There are god knows how many award shows about the best movies, but this one is most famous for nominating the worst ones

[edit] Question on image uploading

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to this Wikipedia-editing malarkey. This is a fairly general query (and I apologise if I'm asking this in the wrong place) but I was wondering how strict the rules on image uploading are. I gather that you need to obtain explicit permission from the photographer, or otherwise the image has to fall into one of a number of categories such as its age. To cut a long story short I was wondering if the rules permit me to upload the following image to the Razzie page: http://funnynews.free.fr/photos/1374.jpg . I can't see any indication that it's in the public domain, but on a quick Google image search, it seems the same photo has circulated around many websites. Any info regarding whether I can or can't upload it (obviously after getting myself an account first) would be really appreciated. (please forgive this newbie :/) 80.229.161.131 13:43, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Error in the article?

It says, in reference to Bill Cosby, that he "became the first person to personally accept his Razzies" and then the next paragraph says of Paul Verhoven, "Paul Verhoeven was the first person to accept a Razzie in person". Which one is correct? Chronologically, I'd assume it was Bill Cosby in 1988, before Verhoven in 1996... no? 62.0.114.159 00:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I was confused by it as well, but I understood it that Cosby was the first person to accept the Razzie and Verhoven was the first person to accept the Razzie at the Razzie award ceremony. Pnkrockr 19:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Its not that confusing

[edit] GRAF ????

Who does the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (GRAF) consist of? How are they chosen? Are they just friends and relations of Mr Wilson or are they people seriously linked to the film industry. If anyone has that information, please add to the article. Mohylek 20:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Anyone can join, they just have to pay the subscription fee, which I think ranges from about $50 for a year to $500 for lifetime membership. All the information is at their official website at

[edit] Films that were nominated for both an Academy Award and a Raspberry Award

Besides the already named "Only When I Laugh", "Yentl", "Pearl Harbor" (2001), and "Norbit"; does anyone else know of any other movies that were nominated for both an Academy Award and a Raspberry Award?204.80.61.110 (talk) 16:34, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Bennett Turk

"Pearl Harbor and Norbit were nominated for both for an Academy Award and a Razzie. Pearl Harbor won an Oscar for best Sound Effects Editing while getting shutout at the Razzies while Norbit saw Eddie Murphy winning three of the four Acting Razzies (see Razzie Records below) while getting shut out at the Oscars."

I can't make any sense of this! What is shutout/shut out? Also, I'm sure there are plenty of films nominated for both, especially in obscurities like sound effects editing - are these two particularly notable? 91.110.103.105 (talk) 14:47, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm assuming "shut out" in this case means "did not receive an award" which would seem logical in this context. --Shruti14 ^{t c s} 13:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] making enemies...

this article could explain more about what are the criteria to be made to determine an artist worst in the film. this article gives an impression that any artists who acted lousily in the film are qualified for the $4++ worth of gold painted plastic award. how hilarious. any big fans or die hard fans might not voice out to criticise but such award itself gives bad impression on somebody somehow.

[edit] Red Links

I found several red links in this article. If their subjects are notable, articles about them should be created, but if not, the red links should be removed. --Shruti14 ^{t c s} 13:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
