After reading the posts herein I am reminded that "awards" are generally marketing tools that are not generally awarded on the basis of merit. In fact more often than not these are awarded based on X being a good director or writer or actor in their past works and that somehow making their more current work "due" for award making them awards of concession. As ever - consensus drives concession.
I would think that the this should hold true of the razzies. Where the nominees are chosen more based on their being easy targets rather than solely the actual quality of the work in question so that big name directors, writers and actors are shielded to an extent by past successes.

@Gallen_Dugall Part of this comes with the territory, though. The Razzies would die an ignominious death if every year they nominated movies nobody ever heard of (because nobody saw them) and Z-list actors.
I think they're still useful because they're a way to look back at the year and focus on a few awful things, saying "Please don't do this again."
