40th Golden Raspberry Awards

The 40th Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, was an awards ceremony that honored the worst the film industry had to offer in 2019. The awards are based on votes from members of the Golden Raspberry Foundation. The nominees were announced on February 8, 2020, one day prior to the 92nd Academy Awards.[1] The ceremony, the date of which was later announced to be March 14, 2020,[2] was ultimately cancelled amid the concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The organizers announced the ceremony's winners online on March 16, 2020.[1][4] Despite being the final ceremony of the decade, no nominees were announced for the "Worst of the Decade Awards", as is the tradition.

Planned ceremony

In June 2019, Comedy Dynamics (a company founded by Brian Volk-Weiss) announced that it would produce the awards ceremony. Also, it was to be broadcast live on a "Comedy Dynamics Network", which would have marked the first time a Golden Raspberry ceremony was watched by public through a live telecast.[10][11]

The unusual scheduling of the 92nd Academy Awards (usually held towards the end of February) on February 9 affected the 2020 edition of the Golden Raspberry Awards. The organizers announced the nominees on February 8, 2020, one day prior to the AMPAS event.[1] The organizers later announced that the year's Razzie ceremony would be held on March 14;[2] it would have been the second ceremony held after the Academy Awards, spurning the tradition of announcing the winners on the eve of the Oscars ceremony.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the ceremony was going to go on as scheduled.[12] However, the organizers later ultimately announced that the ceremony was cancelled, citing bans on mass gatherings that were enacted by local authorities in the wake of the outbreak.[3] The organizers eventually announced winners online on March 16, 2020, through their website and their YouTube channel.[1][4]
