8th Golden Raspberry Awards

The 8th Golden Raspberry Awards were held on April 10, 1988, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel to recognize the worst the film industry had to offer in 1987. Leonard Part 6 was the biggest "winner" with three awards out of five nominations. Although he did not attend the ceremony, actor/producer/co-writer Bill Cosby later accepted all his awards on The Late Show.[1] This marked the only time Cosby "earned" a Razzie prior to the sexual assault allegations levied against him in October 16, 2014, which besmirched his career and legacy.
