No one takes shots at bad movies and performances quite like the Golden Raspberry Awards, better known as the Razzie Awards.While the Oscars celebrate the best movies of the year, the Razzies reward the worst movies of the year.It's supposed to be a joke, but the Razzies have sometimes taken cheap shots.
Thankfully, the Razzies eventually put age limits on their nominations.The Razzies love ruffling feathers within the Hollywood community.Don't get me wrong—there are bad movies.
However, the Razzies have some glaring misses.I'm thinking about the times when movies and actors were unfairly singled out by the Razzies.A few icons and Oscar winners are on this list, even though they didn't deserve the Razzie recognition.
This list only includes those movies and actors who won Razzies.Adam Sandler in Big Daddy Hip, hip-hop, hip-hop-anonymous Adam Sandler might be the actor who puzzles critics the most.There have been moments throughout his career when Sandler has shown true greatness as an actor, particularly in and .
He's also such a comedic icon for and hits like and .I can't defend and .However, I'll go to bat for .
Sonny Koufax (Sandler), for lack of a better word, is a loser.He's an unmotivated goof who was dumped by his girlfriend.One day, five-year-old Julian (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) shows up on his doorstep and changes his life.
The immature goofball grows up and takes responsibility but still keeps that signature sense of humor.How does one of Sandler's most sincere performances win Worst Actor at the Razzies? As a form of payback, The Sandman should get to put the Razzie voters in a sleeper hold.Big Daddy PG-13 Comedy Drama Release Date June 25, 1999 Where to watch Close WHERE TO WATCH Streaming RENT BUY Powered by Expand Collapse Sandra Bullock in All About Steve A legendary weekend for the actress is not going to be anyone's favorite rom-com.
It's not even in the first tier of Sandra Bullock's filmography.Admittedly, there are some problems, particularly the storyline involving Bullock's character Mary, who becomes obsessed with Steve Miller (Bradley Cooper) and stalks him across the country.However, some of Bullock's indelible charm finds a way into this performance, and I'm a sucker for her quirky humor.
I appreciate because it gave us an iconic moment when Bullock accepted her Razzie for Worst Actress.Instead of ducking the ceremony, Bullock showed up and gave a hilarious acceptance speech.The very next night, Bullock won the Academy Award for Best Actress for .
That's why she will always be one of America's Sweethearts.Sylvester Stallone as the Worst Actor of the Century A weird fixation on Rocky Balboa The Razzies are obsessed with Sylvester Stallone, and frankly, I probably need a stronger adjective.With 12 wins, Stallone is the most-awarded performer in Razzie history.
I'm not going to fight the Razzies over and .Stallone as a comedic star is a problem, but that's a different conversation for another day.Stallone won two noteworthy Razzies: Worst Actor of the Decade for the 1980s and Worst Actor of the Century for "99.5% of everything he has ever done." Stallone was one of the most important actors in Hollywood from 1975 to 2000.
The Razzies consider , and among his worst films.To sit here and say Stallone was the worst actor of the century is objectively false.Stallone might not be perfect, but I won't let the Razzies take him down like this.

is what I want out of Bay's movies, and Bruce Willis is the perfect hero to lead a group of oil drillers into space to destroy an asteroid heading for Earth.From his battles with Colonel Sharp to his ultimate sacrifice to save A.J., Willis fully embraces the over-the-top nature of the subject matter and delivers an extremely satisfying performance.The Razzies didn't think so and awarded Willis Worst Actor for , and .
You want to know why the Razzies completely whiffed on ? They nominated "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" for Worst Original Song.That same song received a Grammy and Oscar nomination.Swing and miss, Razzies.

It took guts to follow up by taking on an action role in .Moore plays Jordan O'Neil, a Navy Lieutenant who becomes the first female candidate to train for the fictional U.S.Navy Combined Reconnaissance Team (think Navy SEALs).
