American [[publicist]] [[John J. B. Wilson]] had been seeing a 99-cent double feature of ''[[Can't Stop the Music]]'' and ''[[Xanadu (film)|Xanadu]]'' and thought in his drive home that those movies deserved awards for their low quality, and subsequently started thinking of all the other films that disappointed him in 1980, particularly as he had watched hundreds of productions in his job making trailers.<ref name="germain">{{cite news | last =Germain | first =David ([[Associated Press]]) | title =25 Years of Razzing Hollywood's Stinkers | work =[[South Florida Sun-Sentinel]] | page =7D | publisher =Sun-Sentinel Company | date =February 26, 2005 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://awardswatch.com/interview-razzies-founder-john-wilson/|title=INTERVIEW: Razzies Founder John Wilson|publisher=AwardsWatch|first=Erik|last=Anderson|date=February 14, 2015|access-date=February 21, 2022|archive-date=February 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220221013800/https://awardswatch.com/interview-razzies-founder-john-wilson/|url-status=live}}</ref> So, the following year, in the [[potluck|potluck parties]] he usually held at his home in Hollywood on the night of the [[Academy Award]]s,<ref name="lindrea">{{cite news | last =Lindrea | first =Victoria | title =Blowing raspberries at Tinseltown | work =BBC News | publisher =BBC | date =February 25, 2007 | url =http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6392701.stm | access-date =May 4, 2009 | archive-date =July 30, 2012 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20120730202340/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6392701.stm | url-status =live }}</ref> after the [[53rd Academy Awards]] had completed for the evening, Wilson passed ballots regarding the worst in film to the attendees, and invited his friends to give random award presentations in his living room.<ref name="lindrea" /><ref name="larsen">{{cite news | last =Larsen | first =Peter | title =The Morning Read – So bad, they're almost good – A love of movies lies behind the Razzies | work =[[The Orange County Register]] | page =1 | date = January 20, 2005 }}</ref><ref name="germain" /> Wilson stood at a [[lectern]] made of cardboard in a tacky tuxedo, with a foam ball attached to a broomstick as a fake microphone, and announced ''Can't Stop the Music'' as the first [[Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture|Golden Raspberry Award Winner for Worst Picture]].<ref name="germain" /><ref name="marder" /> The impromptu ceremony was a success and the following week a press release about his event was picked up by a few local newspapers, including a mention in the ''[[Los Angeles Daily News]]'' with the headline: "Take These Envelopes, Please".<ref name="lindrea" /><ref name="larsen" /><ref name="marder">{{cite news | last =Marder | first =Jenny | title =Razzin' The Dregs of Hollywood Dreck – Film: Cerritos' John Wilson Marks His Golden Raspberry Awards' 25th Year With A Guide To Cinematic Slumming | work =[[Long Beach Press-Telegram]] | page =A1 | date =February 26, 2005 }}</ref>

Approximately three dozen people came to the [[1st Golden Raspberry Awards]].<ref name="marder" /> The [[2nd Golden Raspberry Awards]] had double the attendance, and the [[3rd Golden Raspberry Awards|3rd awards ceremony]] had doubled that number.<ref name="marder" /> By the [[4th Golden Raspberry Awards]] ceremony, [[CNN]] and two major wire services covered the event.<ref name="lindrea" /> Wilson realized that by scheduling the Golden Raspberry Awards prior to the Academy Awards, the ceremony would get more press coverage: "We finally figured out you couldn't compete with the Oscars on Oscar night, but if you went the night before, when the press from all over the world are here and they are looking for something to do, it could well catch on," he said to ''[[BBC News]]''.<ref name="lindrea" />

In 2022, a dedicated award category, Worst Bruce Willis Performance in a 2021 Movie, was created after [[Bruce Willis]] starred in a number of poorly received low-budget films. On March 30 of that year, Willis's family announced that he had been diagnosed with [[aphasia]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Shoard |first=Catherine |date=March 30, 2022 |title=Bruce Willis to retire from acting due to aphasia diagnosis |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/mar/30/bruce-willis-to-retire-from-acting-following-aphasia-diagnosis |access-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-date=April 1, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220401100841/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/mar/30/bruce-willis-to-retire-from-acting-following-aphasia-diagnosis |url-status=live }}</ref> The Golden Raspberry Awards subsequently retracted the award category, saying it was inappropriate to award a Golden Raspberry to someone whose performance was affected by a medical condition.<ref name="Haring">{{Cite web |last=Haring |first=Bruce |date=2022-03-31 |title=Razzie Awards Retract Bruce Willis Worst Performance Category After His Aphasia Reveal |url=https://deadline.com/2022/03/razzie-awards-bruce-willis-category-retracted-after-aphasia-reveal-1234992109/ |access-date=2022-04-01 |website=Deadline |language=en-US |archive-date=March 31, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220331224617/https://deadline.com/2022/03/razzie-awards-bruce-willis-category-retracted-after-aphasia-reveal-1234992109/ |url-status=live }}</ref> At the same time, the Awards retroactively retracted their 1980 Worst Actress nomination of [[Shelley Duvall]] in ''[[The Shining (film)|The Shining]]'', stating "We have since discovered that Duvall's performance was impacted by [[Stanley Kubrick]]'s treatment of her throughout the production".<ref name=thewrapduvall>[https://www.thewrap.com/razzie-awards-rescind-bruce-willis-award-shelley-duvall-nomination Razzie Awards Backtrack, Rescind Bruce Willis Award – and Shelley Duvall Nomination as Well] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220331155120/https://www.thewrap.com/razzie-awards-rescind-bruce-willis-award-shelley-duvall-nomination/ |date=March 31, 2022 }} ''[[The Wrap]]''.
