The 1st Golden Raspberry Awards were held on March 31, 1981, at founder John J. B. Wilson's living room alcove to recognize the worst the film industry had to offer in 1980. For it was a double feature of Can't Stop the Music, winner of Worst Picture, and Xanadu that inspired Wilson to start the Razzies. Each category included as many as ten nominees; the maximum was lowered to five the following year to mirror the Oscars. "There was a fake stage in John's apartment," remembers Maureen Murphy, who was a presenter.

Criticism

The awards are often criticized for nominating The Shining in two categories: Shelley Duvall for Worst Actress and Stanley Kubrick for Worst Director. In 2022, Razzies founder John J. B. Wilson admitted that he regrets the nomination, saying: "Knowing the backstory and the way that Stanley Kubrick kind of pulverized her, I would take that back." That same year, the awards committee rescinded Duvall's nomination, but not Kubrick's. The nominations for Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill have also been criticized.
