4th Golden Raspberry Awards


The 4th Golden Raspberry Awards were held on April 8, 1984, at Third Street Elementary School in Los Angeles, California, to recognize the worst the movie industry had to offer in 1983.
Amy Irving, nominated for worst supporting actress for her performance in Yentl, also received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the same performance in 1984. Irving became the second person, after supporting actor James Coco in 2nd [Golden Raspberry Awards|1982], to be nominated for a Razzie and Oscar for the same work, a feat not repeated until Glenn Close in 2021.
