The Razzie Redeemer Award is an award presented at the annual Golden Raspberry Awards (also known as the Razzies) to a past Razzie Award nominee or winner who becomes "a respected artist" and comes back from critical or commercial failure.
History 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.
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!
