30th Golden Raspberry Awards
Awards ceremony presented to films of 2009
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 30th Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, were held on March 6, 2010, in Hollywood, California, to honor the worst films the film industry had to offer in 2009, according to votes from members of the Golden Raspberry Foundation. Razzies co-founder John J. B. Wilson has stated that the intent of the awards is "to be funny."[1] Per Razzies tradition, both the nominee announcements and ceremony preceded the corresponding Academy Awards functions by one day. Additional awards for Worst Picture, Actor, and Actress of the Decade honored the worst achievements in film in the 2000s decade. The nominees were announced on February 1.[2]

The winners were announced on March 6.[3] After the hosts presented Sandra Bullock as Worst Actress, one of the presenters parodied Kanye West's controversial protest against Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Then, Bullock appeared to accept her Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple awards for All About Steve, and presented DVD copies of the film to the audience, saying the Razzie voters cast ballots for her just to see if she would appear at the ceremony, in comparison to her Academy Award for Best Actress.[4] Bullock was later asked to return her statue, as she was inadvertently given the original, 30-year-old Razzie Statue, as opposed to the replicas given to winners. She went on to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side the following night, making her the first actress to win both a Razzie and an Academy Award in the same year, and third person overall, after composer Alan Menken (in 1993) and screenwriter Brian Helgeland (in 1998).[5]
Screenwriter J. David Shapiro, who co-wrote Battlefield Earth, also appeared in person to accept the award for Worst Picture of the Decade.[6]
