The 1st Golden Raspberry Awards were held on March 31, 1981. They were presented at John Wilson's living room alcove. It recognised the worst the film industry had to offer of 1980. The event was scheduled the day before, but John Hinckley's attempt on Ronald Reagan's life delayed the Oscars, and thus the Razzies, by a day. The recipients are denoted in bold:
