Billed as "the Razzie you want to win", it is the only award issued by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation that can be considered a genuine honor. It was introduced in 2014.[2]

The award was declared absentia at the 41st Golden Raspberry Awards, due to the year 2020 being awarded a Special Governor's Award for the Worst Calendar Year EVER!
