The Golden Raspberry Awards have long undercut the industry’s self-seriousness — but in our delicate times, the organization has been forced to rethink its mission.
“Our mission statement is bring humanity to celebrity,” says Mo Murphy, who co-founded The Razzies with John J.B. Wilson. “We all make mistakes. Look at us. We’re the Razzies. We stop, we reflect and we rectify. That’s what we figure is our relevance: asking people to be as good as we know they can be.”
Not every dishonoree has taken the flatulent accolade in stride. Murphy and Wilson reference a distraught star whose publicist sent them to Disneyland the day of the awards to avoid news of an impending sweep. Sylvester Stallone was said to be none too pleased with his “worst actor of the century” title. And Eddie Murphy has been vocal about how his “worst actor of the decade” Razzie in 2010 inspired him to step back from acting.
Accompanying a Dutch journalist to the event at the Hollywood Roosevelt, Verhoeven initially sat uncomfortably as the crowd jeered a clip of‘ infamous pool sex scene. But as the audience began to realize his presence, boos turned to applause. He accepted each of the six wins, grabbing the same trophy — there was only one on hand — each time. “What started with so much negativity became enthusiastic and warm. I can concretely say that it was an essential moment in my career.
