"Can't Stop The Music" and "Xanadu" win top Golden Raspberry Awards 1981

The disco glam movie Can't Stop the Music was nominated for seven Golden Raspberry awards and took home the award for Worst Movie at the first annual ceremony held March 31, 1981. The Golden Raspberry awards were initiated to celebrate the worst of the film industry.  Can't Stop the Music is the reason John J. B. Wilson started the Golden Raspberries.  

Can't Stop the Music won Worst Screenplay for Bronte Woodard and Allan Carr.  It was nominated for Worst Director for Nancy Walker, Worst Actor for Bruce Jenner, Worst Actress for Valerie Perrine, Worst Supporting Actress for Marilyn Sokol, Worst Original Song for (You) Can't Stop the Music by Jacques Morali.

Xanadu was nominated for six Razzies and won for Worst Director for Robert Greenwald. It also received nominations for Worst Picture, Worst Actor for Michael Beck, Worst Actress for Olivia Newton-John, Worst Screenplay and Worst Original Song for Suspended in Time (seriously?).

Can't Stop the Music was released during a period of rising anti-disco sentiment, which is probably why it received so much hate at the time.  However, some 45 years later, opinions toward it have mellowed somewhat and it seems that now it isn't considered to be as terrible as when it was released.  

"Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" wins Golden Raspberry for Jar Jar Binks

Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace got a lot of hate when it was released.  Admittedly, it had some huge shoes to fill after the earlier three movies, but I think it is one of the best movies out there.  A lot of movies, and I do mean a lot, don't even come close to matching it.  It did have its flaws, of course, such as introducing one of the most annoying characters of all time, Jar Jar Binks.  And it's better than any of the final three movies in the series.  

I don't think it deserved the criticism it received at the 20th Golden Raspberry Awards, held March 25, 2000. It was nominated for seven Razzie awards, but only took home one.  Ahmed Best won Worst Supporting Actor for his work as Jar Jar Binks.

Phantom Menace was nominated for Worst Picture, Sofia Coppola for Worst Supporting Actress, Jake Lloyd for Worst Supporting Actor for his performance as Anakin Skywalker, Worst Screen Couple for Jake Lloyd and Natalie Portman, Worst Director for George Lucas (seriously?), and Worst Screenplay for Lucas (really?).  

However, Wild Wild West was the top winner (loser?) for the evening, taking home five awards from its nine nominations. Multi-Grammy award winner Stevie Wonder shared the Worst Original Song with co-writers Will Smith, and Kool Moe Dee.

"The Concorde ... Airport '79" released 1979

The fourth and final (thank God!) installment of the Airport movie series, The Concorde...Airport '79, was released across the US August 17, 1979.  It opened to negative reviews by critics but it turned out to be an international hit, grossing $65M on a $14M budget.  George Kennedy reprised his role as Joseph Patroni.

It has been listed as one of the 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made.  Roger Ebert included it in his book I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie.  I had to agree with him as the scene where Patroni fires a gun outside of the cockpit window at high-altitude and super-sonic speeds.

"Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" wins 3 Golden Razzies 1990

As much as it pains me to do so, I have to agree that Star Trek V: The Final Frontier deserved all the Razzies it won.  Of all the movies and television shows I enjoy, this movie is definitely at the bottom of the list. And that includes the third season of the original series.

It won(?) for Worst Picture, Worst Actor (William Shatner), and Worst Director (also William Shatner).  DeForest Kelley was nominated as Worst Supporting Actor.  The movie also received nominations for Worst Screenplay and Worst Movie of the Decade.
