MEL Gibson and Kim Basinger now have both an Academy Award and a Golden Raspberry Award, or Razzie.

The awards for the worst performances of the year are always handed out a day before the Oscars.

Gibson won the Worst Supporting Actor award for the comedy Daddy’s Home 2, and Kim Basinger won for supporting actress in the erotic thriller Fifty Shades Darker.

Gibson picked up a Best Director Oscar in 1996 for Braveheart while Basinger won Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1998 for LA Confidential.

Nominees rarely attend the Razzies, usually held in small venues somewhere in and around Los Angeles.

Sandra Bullock turned up in 2010 to accept worst actress for All About Steve, a day before winning best actress Oscar for The Blind Side.

Halle Berry, Faye Dunaway and Liza Minnelli have also won both a Razzie and an Oscar.

Tom Cruise won in the Worst Actor category for his star role in another reboot of The Mummy, while a cross-dressing Tyler Perry won in the Worst Actress category for Boo 2!: A Madea Halloween — the ninth Madea film.

The Emoji Movie, the first animated movie to win the award in the Razzie’s 38-year history, also “won” in the categories of worst screenplay, worst screen combo and worst director.

A video announcing the award winners included an In Memoriam segment, with pictures of Hollywood luminaries — including Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Woody Allen and Bill Cosby — caught up in sex scandals.

“Very sorry ... but we won’t be missing you — or your kind,” the video said.

The Razzies were created in 1980 as an antidote to Hollywood’s star-studded, backslapping annual awards season.

Most of the Razzie categories are chosen by the 800 or so members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, who earn voting rights by paying a $US40 membership fee, with a $US25 annual renewal.
