Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor
The Razzie Award for Worst Actor is an award presented at the annual Golden Raspberry Awards to the worst actor of the previous year. The following is a list of nominees and recipients of that award, along with the film(s) for which they were nominated.
Sylvester Stallone holds the records for most total nominations (16), consecutive nominations (9, 1984–92), and wins (4).
George W. Bush (2001–09) holds the distinction of being the first President of the United States to win a competitive Razzie during his administration.
Donald Trump (2017–21) is the most recent president to be nominated for the award for Worst Actor. He is also the first person to become president after having already won a Razzie Award.
The Golden Raspberry Awards is a parody award show honoring the worst of cinematic failures. Co-founded by UCLA film graduates and film industry veterans John J. B. Wilson and Mo Murphy, the Razzie Awards' satirical annual ceremony is preceded by its opposite, the Academy Awards, by four decades. The term raspberry is used in its irreverent sense, as in "blowing a raspberry". The statuette is a golf ball-sized raspberry atop a Super 8mm film reel atop a 35-millimeter film core with brown wood shelf paper glued and wrapped around it—sitting atop a jar lid spray-painted gold. The Golden Raspberry Foundation has claimed that the award "encourages well-known filmmakers and top-notch performers to own their bad."
