Created by John Wilson in 1980, the "Razzies" were created to counterpoint the academy awards by honouring the worst achievements in film. Each year this ceremony continues to grow in scale and significance with its greatest highlight being back in 2004 when Halle Barry accepted her award in person by giving a speech which parodied her own oscar acceptance speech three years earlier. She later fired her agent and has not appeared in successful film since.
So on the eve of the greatly anticipated Oscars here are the recipients of such accolades this year:

Mike Myers was the biggest loser of the year with his latest release recieving worst film, actor and script (all of which are the most significant components when it comes to putting together a comedy film). Looks like you've let your voicing of a big green ogre get in the way of your comic talents Mr Myers, back to the drawing board!
Although his film just missed out on worst director to Uwe Boll whose work rate simply cannot be kept up with, well done on your lifetime achievement award sir.
