The life of an actor, no matter where you are from across the globe, is defined by their careers and all the achievements they have managed to receive during their time. And one of, if not the most prestigious among those accolades is receiving an Oscar for their contributions. For almost a century, The Academy Awards have been the premier recognition that members of the film industry strive for.
But receiving an Oscar doesn’t mean that you may not have a couple of misses in your career, and to highlight those unsavory career moments, The Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a, The Razzies are handed out to stars and filmmakers as well. And somehow creating a metaphorical balance of being part of both masterpieces and awful messes, these stars have received the Academy Awards and The Razzies.
1: Tom Hanks
Starting off the list, we have none other than Tom Hanks, one of the most prolific and revered stars in the industry who has received a Razzie Award for his role as Colonel Tom Parker in the 2022 biopic Elvis in the Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Couple category.
Despite being a two-time Best Actor category winner at The Academy Awards, the star managed to win a Razzie for his role in the film, while the film itself was nominated for eight Oscar categories.

2:Al Pacino
Another Hollywood legend receiving these prestigious awards does seem like nobody is immune to this. For his role in Scent of a Woman, Al Pacino received the Best Actor award at the Oscars.
However, later in his career, that recognition was shrouded in disappointment when he won The Razzie Awards for both Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Couple category. for his role in Adam Sandler’s 2011 horror/comedy film Jack and Jill.
3:Jared Leto
While many may assume that he would’ve gotten a Razzie for his role as The Joker in The Suicide Squad, they would be wrong. Being the winner of The Best Actor in a Supporting Role category for his role in Dallas Buyers’Club, his Razzie for The Worst Supporting Actor came from his role as Pablo Gucci in House of Gucci.
But not just one, the star won The Razzie in the Worst Actor category once again in 2023 for his film Morbius.
4:Leonardo DiCaprio
Although he may be one of the most capable actors in the industry to consistently deliver Award-worthy performances, Leonardo DiCaprio received his first Razzie for the Worst Screen Couple category for his 1998 film The Man in the Iron Mask, almost two decades before he won the Oscar for Best Actor category for his 2016 film The Revenant.

5: Marlon Brando
Considered one of the most revered stars in the industry, most popular for his immortal role in the holy grail of cinema The Godfather, Marlon Brando receiving a Razzie is almost unbelievable.
But Despite receiving an Oscar for Best Actor in his 1954 film On The Waterfront, the late legend also received a Razzie win in the Worst Supporting Actor category for his 1996 sci-fi/horror film The Island of Dr. Moreau.
6: Sandra Bullock
Known for her dynamic performances in the industry, actress Sandra Bullock is one of the rare stars who personally received her Razzie Award for Worst Actress for her comedy/drama film All About Steve. The actress would go on to win her Oscar Award for Best Actress the very next year for her role in The Blind Side.
7: Mel Gibson
Known for his exceptional directorial skills in recent years, Mel Gibson was recognized for his talents when he received The Best Director award in 2017 at The Academy Awards for his film Hacksaw Ridge, and back in 1996 for Best Picture and Best Director for his film Braveheart. But just a year later in 2018, he would go on to be recognized for his disappointing performance as The Worst Supporting Actor at The Razzies for his film Daddy’s Home 2.

8: Ben Affleck
If you were expecting Affleck to have received A Golden Raspberry Award for his performance as the titular character in 2003’s Daredevil, then you were only half right. The star was awarded The Worst Actor Award for three of his films along with the aforementioned one, which were Gilgi and Paycheck. The star was earlier awarded for Best Screenplay award along with Matt Damon for their 1998 film Good Will Hunting, and again in 2013 for Best Picture for his film Argo.
9: Kevin Costner
Known as one of the greatest Western film stars in history, sharing the title with industry legends like Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner proved his worth for his reverence when he won The Academy Award in the Best Director and Best Picture category as well as being nominated for Best Actor for his film Dances with Wolves.
But in his career, he has also received The Golden Raspberry Awards for films like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, The Postman, and Wyatt Earp in the worst actor category.
10: Halle Berry
Widely considered to be one of the worst DC films in history, everyone expected Halle Berry to receive the Worst Actress award for her role as Patience Phillips in 2004’s Catwoman, And just like Bullock, she went to The Razzies to accept her award in person. Unlike her fellow star though, she won The Best Actress award years back at The Oscars in 2002 for her 2001 romance/drama film Monster’s Ball.
