Isabella Rossellini

The award ultimately went to Lynn-Holly Johnson for Where the Boys Are ’84.

Olivia Newton-John

Olivia Newton-John is seen as an Australia icon, though both the United Kingdom and the United States have their claims on her, too. She was born in England, and she lived in Malibu for much of her adulthood. Olivia starred as Sandy in Grease, the most successful movie musical of all time. It made her a beloved film star, and she still performs songs from the movie in concert.

Xanadu was Olivia’s follow-up film to her starring role in Grease. Although the music in Xanadu was critically acclaimed, the movie itself was not.

However, he was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Blaine Bingham in Switching Channels.

Tim Curry

To say that Tim Curry has had a colorful career is an understatement. Curry has portrayed iconic characters such as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Grand Wizard in The Worst Witch, and Pennywise the clown in the It miniseries of the 1990’s. He also showcased his comedic talents in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

He was very devoted to his wife Heather Menzies, who was best known for her portrayal of Louisa in The Sound of Music, and their three children. Sadly, Urich died from cancer when he was only 55 years old.

Robert Urich received many accolades, but he kept a sense of humor about his star power. He even made a guest appearance in Cheers in a part that poked a bit of fun at himself. Given his attitude about his life and career, he probably wasn’t too upset to find out that he’d been nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor for his work in Turk 182 in 1985.

Jamie Dornan

As an actor, musician, and model, Jamie Dornan has worn many hats in his career. He portrayed such a wide range of characters as a sheriff in Once Upon a Time and a serial killer in The Fall.

George C. Scott

Perhaps best known for his roles as Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1984 adaptation of A Christmas Carol and George S. Patton in Patton, George C. Scott is one of the most revered actors of all time. He made headlines when he refused his Academy Award for Best Actor (which he won for Patton).

If George C. Scott objected to his Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor as much as he did his Academy Award for Best Actor, it was never noticed. Scott was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award in 1990 for his portrayal of Lt. William Kinderman in The Exorcist III.

Amy Irving

Amy Irving had the rare distinction of being nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Raspberry Award for the same performance in a film. It was Irving’s portrayal of Hadass in the 1983 film Yentl that earned her the nominations. People clearly had differing opinions of her performance, but Irving did not win either award.

Before Amy Irving was nominated for a Razzie for her work in Yentl, she was nominated for the Worst Supporting Actress award for her performance in Honeysuckle Rose. That drama is also sometimes called On the Road Again. Amy appeared alongside Willie Nelson and Dyan Cannon in the film, and Willie Nelson was nominated for an Academy Award for his song “On the Road Again”.
