The '''25th Golden Raspberry Awards''', or '''Razzies''', were held on February 26, 2005, at the Ivar Theatre in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]], [[California]], to honor the worst films the [[film industry]] had to offer in [[2004 in film|2004]]. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Golden Raspberry Awards, four special categories—Worst Razzie Loser of Our First 25 Years, Worst "Comedy" of Our First 25 Years, Worst "Drama" of Our First 25 Years, and Worst "Musical" of Our First 25 Years—were created.

Leading the pack was a tie between the late summer film ''[[Catwoman (film)|Catwoman]]'' and ''[[Fahrenheit 9/11]]'', each of which won four Razzies, even though the latter was not nominated for Worst Picture. ''Catwoman'' received the greatest number of nominations (seven), followed by ''[[Alexander (2004 film)|Alexander]]'' with six nominations.

The Ivar Theatre was rented using proceeds from an auction of [[Ben Affleck]]'s broken trophy from [[24th Golden Raspberry Awards|the previous year]], which Affleck smashed during an appearance on ''[[Larry King Live]]''.

[[Halle Berry]] collected her award in person. She was the first to do so since [[22nd Golden Raspberry Awards|2001]], when [[Tom Green]] arrived to receive his five Razzies for ''[[Freddy Got Fingered]]''. Berry was quoted as saying "If you aren't able to be a good loser you're not able to be a good winner."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4301783.stm|title=Berry gets worst actress Razzie|author=Helen Bushby|publisher=[[BBC]]|date=2005-02-27|accessdate=2009-01-19| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090215111027/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4301783.stm| archivedate=February 15, 2009| url-status=live}}</ref> Berry mocked her 2002 Oscar acceptance speech, acting tearful and saying, "I never thought this would happen to me." She then responded to some critics by holding up her Oscar and saying, "They can't take it away, my name's on it!" Screenwriter [[John Brancato and Michael Ferris|Michael Ferris]] also appeared to pick his Worst Screenplay award.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.craveonline.com/entertainment/tv/article/john-rogers-has-leverage-73175 |title=John Rogers has Leverage |work=Crave Online |publisher=CraveOnline Media, LLC |date=January 29, 2009 |accessdate=2009-12-30 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100112115005/http://www.craveonline.com/entertainment/tv/article/john-rogers-has-leverage-73175 |archivedate=12 January 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Deutsche Presse-Agentur staff |title=Mike Myers is the king of the anti-Oscars |work=[[Deutsche Presse-Agentur]] |publisher=Deutsche Presse-Agentur GmbH |date=February 22, 2009}}</ref>

== Criticism ==
This edition of the Razzies was notable as the first to give nominations to a movie that was neither a critical nor a [[box-office bomb]]: the [[Palme d'Or]] winning documentary ''[[Fahrenheit 9/11]]''. It received nominations not because the movie itself was of poor quality, but because the film depicted political figures' mishandling of the [[September 11 attacks]] and the [[Iraq War]]. The Razzies, which had previously steered clear of politics, received criticism from some quarters for nominating the stock footage "performances" of [[George W. Bush]], [[Donald Rumsfeld]], and [[Condoleezza Rice]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Rentschler |first1=Brian |date=2005-02-27 |title=What happened to the Razzies? |url=http://screenrant.com/what-happened-to-the-razzies-brian-268/ |accessdate=2016-01-31 |website=Screen Rant}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Brevet |first1=Brad |date=2005-02-27 |title=Razzies To 'Catwoman' and '9/11' |url=http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/504143-razzies_to_catwoman_and_9_11 |accessdate=2016-01-31 |website=ComingSoon.net}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Hood |first1=Nathanael |date=2014-09-18 |title=10 Undeserved Razzie Winners |url=http://www.toptenz.net/10-undeserved-razzie-winners.php |accessdate=2016-01-31 |website=Toptenz.net}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Simonton |first1=Dean Keith |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=d3syX1602gMC&q=%22fahrenheit+9%2F11%22+razzies&pg=PA180 |title=Great Flicks: Scientific Studies of Cinematic Creativity and Aesthetics |date=2011 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=9780199752034 |location=Oxford |page=180 |accessdate=2016-01-31}}</ref> (The former two won their awards while [[Britney Spears]] won the Razzie for Worst Supporting Actress over Rice; her role in ''Fahrenheit 9/11'' is just fifteen seconds long.<ref>{{cite web |title=Britney Spears interview about George Bush |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82py_wk5vE4 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100221003012/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82py_wk5vE4 |archive-date=2010-02-21 |accessdate=2009-01-19 |publisher=[[YouTube]]}}</ref>
