Griffith was chosen worst actress for her roles in two movies, "Shining Through" and "A Stranger Among Us." Sylvester Stallone was voted worst actor for his role in "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!" and his co-star, "Golden Girls" star Estelle Getty, was selected worst supporting actress.
Tom Selleck's role in "Christopher Columbus: The Discovery" got him selected as worst supporting actor.
Nominees and winners never show up for their Razzie trophies, a golfball-size raspberry atop a film reel that is painted gold. It's worth $1.79, said John Wilson, president of the Golden Raspberry Foundation, which presented the awards at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, the site of the first Academy Awards show 65 years ago.
The awards are organized each year by Wilson, a writer for movie advertising trailers and TV commercials. Voters include film industry professionals, journalists, publicists, Wilson's friends and "other people who have heard about the foundation," he said.
After playing three nights downtown, Prince shifted locales and played the landmark Apollo Theater in Harlem for the first time. The concert Saturday night was by invitation only and most of the tickets went to community groups.
The two-hour show was about 30 minutes shorter than his performances at Radio City Music Hall earlier in the week, but it was his third concert in less than 30 hours. Following Friday night's Radio City show, he played an unannounced gig at 2 a.m. Saturday at Club USA, a dance hall off Times Square.
Prince is on his first United States tour since 1988, a tour that began March 8 at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and is scheduled to conclude April 17 at Phoenix.
