The Golden Raspberry Awards, colloquially known as the Razzies, have honored what some consider the worst of the worst in film since 1981. The group has waxed and waned in relevance in the decades since, but their mission has remained focused on jeering at Hollywood's laziest output and movies that may have had good intentions, but something went horribly wrong in execution.
Throughout their more than 40-year history, the Razzies have "honored" some of the most well-respected actors in Hollywood, including a shocking number of Oscar winners. In fact, the more successful an artist is, the more likely it is that Razzie voters will ding them for any missteps in their canon of work.
Ahead, find our list of actors and directors who have won Razzies after winning Oscars — and a select few Razzie winners who redeemed themselves by winning an Oscar later in their careers.

Laurence Olivier

Laurence Olivier is a legend in the field of acting — he’s the reason that London theater awards were eventually renamed the Oliviers. The iconic stage and film star was well-decorated with awards during his long career, including two Academy Awards for 1948's Hamlet (Best Actor and Best Picture). However, not all of his awards denote excellence in acting — Olivier is actually the recipient of two Razzies, as well. In 1981, Olivier got a Worst Supporting Actor award for The Jazz Singer and then in 1983, he was given the Worst Actor award for Inchon.

Faye Dunaway

Throughout the '60s, '70s, and '80s, Faye Dunaway built an iconic career for herself as an actress. She was nominated for Academy Awards for two of her early films, Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and Chinatown (1974), and she finally won the award for Network in 1977. However, just a few years later, she was given the Razzie for Worst Actress for her portrayal of Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest (1981). In 1993, Dunaway got another Razzie, this time for Worst Supporting Actress in The Temp.

Prince

Although Prince's career spanned decades and industries, he won his only Academy Award within one year of his Razzie. In 1985, Prince won the Oscar for Best Music, Original Song Score for the song "Purple Rain" in the movie of the same name. One year later, Prince was given the Razzies for Worst Director, Worst Original Song, and Worst Actor for Under the Cherry Moon (1986), which he directed, scored, and starred in. The film also took home the Worst Picture Razzie that year, tying with Howard the Duck.

Liza Minnelli

Liza Minnelli is one of the few entertainers to have reached EGOT status — winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Unfortunately, she added an R to that in 1988 when she received the Worst Actress Razzie for her roles in both Arthur 2: On the Rocks and Rent-a-Cop. She won her Academy Award 15 years earlier when she took home Best Actress for Cabaret (1972).

Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner looked to have a very promising future at the start of his career by winning Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture in 1991 for Dances With Wolves, but soon after, he became a Razzie nominee and winner. Costner received Worst Actor Razzies for roles in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) and The Postman (1997), the latter also earning him Worst Director and Worst Picture awards as well.

Sofia Coppola

Being Francis Ford Coppola's daughter may have helped Sofia Coppola get a part in The Godfather Part III (1990), but it didn't save her from getting a Worst Supporting Actress Razzie for her role in the film. She went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2003 for Lost in Translation.

Alan Menken

Alan Menken has eight Oscars, the most of any composer outside of Alfred Newman. He is also the first person to win an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year. In 1993, he grabbed a Best Original Song Oscar for “A Whole New World” from Aladdin (1992). He was also given a Razzie for “High Times, Hard Times” from Newsies (1992).

Brad Pitt

For all his good looks and celebrated film roles, Brad Pitt's first Academy Award was given to him as one of the producers behind Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave in 2014. He later scored a win as Best Supporting Actor in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019). Long before these honors, however, Pitt and Tom Cruise received the very first Razzie Award for Worst Screen Combo for their performance in 1994's Interview With the Vampire.

Marlon Brando

One of the most respected actors in American filmmaking, Marlon Brando won two Best Actor Oscars in his lifetime — one for 1954's On the Waterfront and one for 1972's The Godfather (although he actually refused to accept the award for the latter in protest of Hollywood's treatment of Native Americans). However, Brando was also given the Razzie for Worst Supporting Actor in 1996 for his portrayal of the title character in an adaptation of The Island of Dr. Moreau.

Brian Helgeland

Screenwriter Brian Helgeland followed in the footsteps of Alan Menken by winning an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year, grabbing the accolade in 1998 for Best Adapted Screenplay on L.A. Confidential. That same year, his screenplay for The Postman was given Worst Screenplay. He’d go on to get another Oscar nomination in 2004 for Mystic River.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated for six acting Oscars in his career and took one home for his role in The Revenant at the 2016 ceremony. Frequent collaborator Martin Scorsese has called him “one of the greatest actors in the history of movies.” Nonetheless, DiCaprio also has a Razzie under his belt in the category of Worst Screen Couple, given in 1999 for his dual roles in The Man in the Iron Mask. He was also nominated two years later for his role in The Beach.

George Lucas

Although George Lucas has never actually won a competitive Oscar, he was given the Academy's Irving G. Thalberg award in 1991 for his consistently high quality in producing motion pictures, and his initial Star Wars film took home seven Academy Awards. However, that acclaim didn't carry over when Lucas released his Star Wars prequel trilogy. Both Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace (1999) and Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones (2002) earned Lucas triple Razzie nominations for Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Picture, and he won Worst Screenplay for Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones.

Kevin Kline

Kevin Kline has won Tony awards, SAG awards, and, in 1988, the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in A Fish Called Wanda, but there is one dark mark on his career — the 1999 Western comedy Wild Wild West. Kline was nominated for three Razzies because of the movie — Worst Actor, Worst Actress (for playing a female sex worker in the movie), and Worst Screen Combo with his costar, Will Smith. Kline avoided the first two awards but wound up taking the Worst Screen Combo Razzie along with Smith.

Roberto Benigni

Roberto Benigni is a veteran Italian actor who received a cavalcade of honors and awards for writing, directing, and acting in the 1997 film Life Is Beautiful, including two Academy Awards (for Best Actor and Best Foreign Language Film). However, when Benigni took a stab at creating a live-action Pinocchio film in 2002, he was slammed with the Razzie for Worst Actor.

Charlton Heston

Charlton Heston grabbed a statuette at the 1960 Oscars for his role in Ben-Hur, a film that is tied with Titanic (1997) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) for the most wins of any single film. The legendary actor got a Razzie much later in his career, winning Worst Supporting Actor in 2002 for three films he made that awards season, Cats & Dogs, Town & Country, and a cameo in Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes.

Ben Affleck

Although he is best known as an actor, Ben Affleck received his two Academy Awards for his work behind the scenes. In 1997, he won the Oscar for Original Screenplay along with Matt Damon for Good Will Hunting, and, in 2012, he took home the Best Picture award as a producer for Argo.
Unfortunately for Affleck, his acting roles haven't always been so well-received. In 2003, Affleck was given the Worst Actor Razzie for his work on three separate films: Daredevil, Gigli, and Paycheck. He also took the Worst Screen Combo Razzie that year along with Jennifer Lopez for Gigli. More than a decade later, Affleck earned a Worst Actor nomination and a Worst Screen Combo win with costar Henry Cavill in 2017 for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Halle Berry

Halle Berry was a star on the rise back in 2001, and proved her incredible talent in Monster's Ball. For that role, Berry won the Oscar for Best Actress, and remains the only Black woman to take home the award. Although Berry continued to win awards for her following gigs, she made a bit of a misstep in 2004 when she starred in Catwoman. Berry received the Worst Actress Razzie for the film and accepted the dishonorable award while holding her Oscar in the other hand.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman has earned several awards throughout her acting career, including an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2002 for The Hours, but that list of honors also includes a Razzie in 2005. Kidman shares the Worst Screen Combo award with Will Ferrell for their film adaptation of Bewitched.

Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock had the unique experience of winning both an Oscar and a Razzie in the very same year. In 2010, Bullock took home the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side, and also received two Razzies for her part in All About Steve: Worst Actress and Worst On-Screen Couple with Bradley Cooper. Bullock showed up to accept her Razzies with a wagon full of All About Steve DVDs for the audience, playfully challenging them to read her lines from the film better than she did.

Al Pacino

Al Pacino was nominated eight times before finally winning his first Academy Award for Best Actor in Scent of a Woman (1992). But even Pacino isn't safe from the Razzies, something that became obvious when he appeared as himself in Adam Sandler's Razzie darling, Jack and Jill (2011). Pacino was given the Worst Supporting Actor award and shared Worst Screen Couple with Sandler.

Mel Gibson

Much like Ben Affleck, Mel Gibson earned Oscars for off-camera work (Best Director and Best Picture for 1995's Braveheart), received a Razzie (Worst Supporting Actor for 2014's The Expendables 3), was then honored with the Razzie Redeemer Award (for directing 2016's Hacksaw Ridge), just to be given another Razzie (Worst Supporting Actor for 2017's Daddy's Home 2). Apparently, redemption isn't forever with the Razzies.

Eddie Redmayne

Eddie Redmayne earned a Best Actor Oscar in 2015 for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. A year later, he was up for Oscar gold again — this time as a nominee for his work in The Danish Girl — but also picked up a 2016 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor for his role in Jupiter Ascending.

Kim Basinger

After taking a couple of years off from acting, Kim Basinger won an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in 1997's L.A. Confidential, telling the world when she won, "If anyone has a dream out there, just know that I'm living proof that they do come true." It's doubtful she had the same dream about playing the ex-lover of sadist Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) in the Fifty Shades of Grey sequel, Fifty Shades Darker, which earned her a Worst Supporting Actress Razzie in 2018.

Tom Hooper

Many already considered Tom Hooper a questionable choice for Best Director when he won for The King's Speech in 2011, with fellow nominee David Fincher having delivered an instant all-time classic in The Social Network. Les Misérables' ugly-cry close-ups the next year didn't help Hooper's case with his detractors. Almost a decade after his Oscar win, the filmmaker earned Worst Director at the 2020 Razzies for the description-defying, uncanny-valley-dwelling, musical CGI-fest, Cats. Hooper also received Worst Screenplay alongside co-writer Lee Hall, who earned an Oscar nod himself for Billy Elliot in 2001.

Jared Leto

Jared Leto won an Oscar in 2014 for his supporting role as Rayon in Dallas Buyers Club. Eight years later, he'd go on to nab a 2022 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor for his role as Italian designer and businessman Paolo Gucci in House of Gucci, which also earned him 2022 Critics' Choice and SAG award nominations. Perhaps the Razzies took some cues from the 2022 Oscars, where the film was notably shut out by the Academy, save for a lone Best Makeup and Hairstyling nod. Leto took home another Razzie one year later, this time in the Worst Actor category, for his work in Morbius (2022).

Jon Voight

The actor who never drove George Costanza’s LeBaron is one of the latest to join this not-so-prestigious club. Jon Voight won an Oscar back in 1979 for Coming Home, his only win from four nominations. In 2024, he got his first Razzie for Worst Actor in Mercy, his first win from his six Razzie nominations over the years, including a 2008 Worst Supporting Actor nomination that covered four films and a 1998 nomination for Worst Screen Couple for his chemistry with "the Animatronic Anaconda." He received another Razzie in 2025 for his collective work as a supporting actor in Megalopolis, Reagan, Shadow Land, and Strangers.

Francis Ford Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola's era-defining Godfather movies earned him four Oscars — Best Adapted Screenplay for the 1972 original, and Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture for its 1974 sequel. He also won Best Original Screenplay for 1971's Patton, and had nine other nominations for films like The Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse Now (1979).
In 2025, the Razzies targeted Coppola, bestowing Worst Director upon him for his long-gestating (and largely derided) passion project, Megalopolis. The director took it in stride, saying that he was "thrilled" for "the distinctive honor of being nominated as the worst director, worst screenplay, and worst picture at a time when so few have the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary moviemaking!"

Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix took home Oscar gold for his lead performance in Joker in 2020. He'd previously been nominated for Best Actor for Walk the Line (2005) and The Master (2011), and was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Gladiator (2000). But the sequel to his Oscar-winning movie would ultimately prove to be his folly, as he received the Razzie for Worst Screen Combo for Joker: Folie à Deux (alongside Lady Gaga), making him the rare example of an actor who won an Oscar and a Razzie for playing the same character.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga's Oscars breakthrough came with A Star Is Born (2018), which won her an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Shallow" and earned her a nomination for Best Actress (though she ultimately lost the latter category to Olivia Colman in The Favourite). She also had two additional Best Original Song nods for "Til It Happens to You" from The Hunting Ground (2015) and "Hold My Hand" from Top Gun: Maverick (2022). In 2025, the Razzies condemned Gaga's performance as Harleen "Lee" Quinzel in Joker: Folie à Deux, giving her the award for Worst Screen Combo alongside Joaquin Phoenix.

Tom Hanks

The '90s were a fruitful era for Tom Hanks, winning back-to-back Best Actor Oscars for Philadelphia (1993) and Forrest Gump (1994) and starring in hit after hit. His impressive track record allowed him to avoid the Razzies' wrath for decades...until his divisive performance as Col. Tom Parker in Elvis (2022). Razzie voters did not take kindly to his drawling voice work — nor his prosthetic makeup — giving him the awards for Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo for him and his "latex-laden face (and ludicrous accent)."
31 of 31
Will Smith

Even a star as powerful as Will Smith hasn't escaped the Razzies, whose voters were so turned off by Wild Wild West (1999) that they awarded him and Kevin Kline Worst Screen Couple in addition to Worst Original Song for the title track. Nearly 15 years later, Smith "won" Worst Screen Couple again, this time with his son, Jaden Smith, for After Earth (2013), in addition to Worst Supporting Actor. However, he was the rare actor to go from Razzie to Oscar, rather than the other way around, winning the Best Actor Oscar for King Richard (2021). Of course, Smith made headlines for a very different reason that Oscar night, and one can imagine Razzie voters were happy they didn't face a similar situation with the actor in the past.
