Where even the suggestion of changing the Oscar categories can lead to furious backlash, the Razzies are much more flexible. For example, the category of Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property has only appeared twice, being awarded to Con Air in 1998 and Rambo: Last Blood in 2020.
Other special Razzie categories include Worst Written Film Grossing Over $100 Million, which has so far only been awarded to Twister. Dis-Honoring the Worst Movie Trends of the Year has only been won by "58-year-old leading men wooing 28-year-old leading ladies," and Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D was won by The Last Airbender.
One way to get a category you feel particularly passionate about into the Razzies is to sponsor it. In 2018, the Razzies partnered with Rotten Tomatoes to award Baywatch the So Rotten You Loved It Award. Dwayne Johnson even accepted the prize in an Instagram video, saying, "It means the s**t sandwich you have been eating is so bad that you eventually started to like it."
There's one prize even the Razzies' staunchest opponents might just agree with. In late 2020, the Razzies blog announced that 2020 had won a special and hopefully one-off prize — "Worst Calendar Year EVER!" Additionally, for the first time, movies that went directly to streaming would be eligible, meaning formerly safe streaming services might want to clear some shelf space.
