The 20th Golden Raspberry Awards were held on March 25, 2000 at the Sheraton Hotel in Santa Monica, California to recognize the worst the film industry had to offer in 1999.
Included with the normal Golden Raspberry categories to mark the dawn of the year 2000 were four special awards: Worst Picture of the Decade, Worst New Star of the Decade, Worst Actor of the Century, and Worst Actress of the Century.
Robert Conrad, who played the lead role of James T. West in the 1960s television series The Wild Wild West, created by Michael Garrison, showed up at the ceremony, as a way of expressing his disapproval with the film adaptation. He accepted three awards on behalf of the cinematic version of Wild Wild West, including Worst Picture.

Criticism
[edit]The awards are often criticized for nominating Heather Donahue for Worst Actress for her role in The Blair Witch Project.[1] GQ said it was "a ridiculous sham of an anti-Oscars ceremony" Donahue said as an experience it "still sucked as a young actress who felt totally unprepared for how enormous the movie had become."[2]
