In 2013, she was radiant when she accepted the Oscar for her supporting role in "Les Miserables." Now Anne Hathaway has obtained two Golden Raspberry award nominations as worst actress, one for her role in the Netflix production "The Last Thing He Wanted" and the other for "The Witches." She will find out whether she "wins" it on April 24, the eve of the Oscar gala.

Robert Downey Jr.
"Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr. is in the running for this year's Razzie Award for worst leading actor for his portrayal of a veterinarian in "Dolittle." At least he has also been nominated for Academy Awards in the past: for "Chaplin" in 1993 and for "Tropic Thunder" in 2009.

Mel Gibson
In 2018, Mel Gibson (left) received the Golden Raspberry for worst supporting actor, for his role "Daddy's Home 2." In the Christmas comedy, he portrayed a macho dad crazy about guns and women, starring alongside Will Ferrell (right) and Mark Wahlberg. Clearly 1996 was a much better year for Gibson, as he took home two Oscars for the epic "Braveheart."
The British actor's very first Oscar nomination in 2014 netted him the coveted trophy for best actor, for his role as Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything." Just one year later, the Razzie Awards jury named him worst supporting actor for his over-the-top performance in "Jupiter Ascending" (shown above).

Al Pacino
In 2012, "Jack and Jill" became the first and only film in the history of the Golden Raspberry Awards to win prizes in all 10 categories. Al Pacino (right), who plays himself in the film, was named worst supporting actor and also made the worst screen team with Adam Sandler (left). Back in 1993, Pacino had won an Oscar for best actor "The Scent of Women."

Sandra Bullock
Bullock won the Razzie for her role in the 2009 comedy film "All About Steve" (shown above). She is one of the few actors to have accepted the award in person — and she distributed DVDs of the film to the audience. The very next day, she took home her first Oscar: Best Actress in the sports drama "Blind Side."

Halle Berry
The first winner to pick up her Razzie herself was Halle Berry. "Catwoman" (2004) failed with both audiences and critics and earned the star the Golden Raspberry for worst actress. Just a few years earlier, she was the first African-American actress to win the Oscar for best actress, for the 2001 romantic drama "Monster's Ball."

Roberto Benigni
Roberto Benigni proves just how much opinions can differ about a star's performance. The Italian director and actor was celebrated for the Holocaust drama "Life is Beautiful" in 1997, and was honored with three Academy Awards, including the Oscar for best actor. In 2002, he directed and starred in "Pinocchio," which garnered him six Razzie nominations and the worst actor award.

Liza Minnelli
Minnelli celebrated a triumphant stage comeback in 1987 with her show at NY's Carnegie Hall, but she never achieved the same success on the big screen again. For her performance in "Rent-a-Cop" (shown above, 1987) and "Arthur 2: On the Rocks" a year later, she won the Razzie for worst actress. Back in 1972, she had won the Oscar for best actress for her performance in the musical drama "Cabaret."

Marlon Brando
The horror sci-fi thriller "The Island of Dr. Moreau," in which Marlon Brando alias Dr. Moreau breeds animals and humans for a superior human race, received six Razzie nominations in 1997. Brando won the award for worst supporting actor. His two Oscar wins however remain way more memorable, for "On the Waterfront" (1954) and the mafia film "The Godfather" (1972).

Laurence Olivier
His case shows that no matter how many Oscars you have, you can still get a Golden Raspberry. Born in 1907, the British actor had three Oscars under his belt — Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Director and Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement — when he was handed Razzies for his roles in both "The Jazz Singer" (1980) and "Inchon" (1981).

The parody prizes praise the worst films and performances every year. Its voters decided on Hank's role as Elvis Presley's manager as this year's most terrible act by a supporting actor. Critics have viewed Hanks casting in that role as the film's biggest flaw.
What did the critics say?
A New York Times review said Hanks appears "with a mountain of prosthetic goo, a bizarre accent and a yes-it's-really-me twinkle in his eyes."
The biopic with lead actor Austin Butler portraying Elvis Presley is nominated for eight Oscars on Sunday. Butler is in the run for best actor.
Razzies voters also awarded "worst screen couple" to "Tom Hanks & His Latex-Laden Face (and Ludicrous Accent)."
However, he did not receive the worst actor award, which was taken home by Jared Leto for his role in Spider-Man spinoff "Morbius." Netflix' Marilyn Monroe Biopic "Blond" received the year's worst movie award.
Organizers nominate themselves for blunder
The Razzie organizers nominated themselves for the worst actress award after having to rescind a nomination for Ryan Kiera Armstrong, who was just 12 years old during her role in the "Firestarter" remake.
Announcing the winners on Saturday, the group said Armstrong's spot on the worst actress nominees list was given to the Razzies themselves.
According to a press release, the Razzies "won by a landslide."
