  • John J. B. Wilson (born May 24, 1954) is an American copywriter and publicist. He was born in Chicago, and moved with his parents to Santa Monica, California at an early age. He majored in film and television at University of California, Los Angeles, and after graduation worked on film marketing campaigns. Wilson is the founder of the Golden Raspberry Awards (also known as the Razzies), an annual ceremony dedicated to "honoring" the worst in film. In 1981 while hosting a potluck dinner at his house on the night of the Academy Awards, Wilson invited his friends to give impromptu award presentations in his living room. The following year Los Angeles Daily News covered the event, the 1st Golden Raspberry Awards, and from behind a cardboard podium Wilson announced Can't Stop the Music as the first Razzie Award for Worst Picture. Attendance doubled at Razzie award ceremonies in the following years, and by the 4th Golden Raspberry Awards the event received coverage from CNN and two major news wires. Wilson has retained an active role in the awards, and is referred to as the "Head Razzberry". His book The Official Razzie Movie Guide was published in 2005 for the 25th anniversary of the Razzie awards. As of 2005 he resided in Cerritos, California with his wife and son.
  • Nato a Chicago, si trasferì con i suoi genitori a Santa Monica, California, in tenera età. Si è diplomato in cinema e televisione presso l'Università della California a Los Angeles, e dopo la laurea ha lavorato su campagne di marketing cinematografico. È l'ideatore dei Razzie Awards.
  • John J. B. Wilson er en amerikansk reklamemann og PR-agent. Han vokste opp i Chicago, og etterhvert i Santa Monica i California. Wilson tok utdannelse innen film og TV ved University of California, og jobbet etter utdannelsen med markedsføring av filmer. Wilson er mest kjent som grunnleggeren av Golden Raspberry Awards, en årlig filmpris som deles ut til de dårligste filmene igjennom det siste året. Hvert år arrangerte Wilson en middag for vennene sine under Oscar-utdelingen. I 1981, etter at den 53. Oscar-utdelingen var ferdig, ba Wilson vennene sine om å gi ut tilfeldige filmpriser i stuen sin Den improviserte seremonien var en suksess, og uken etter ble en pressemelding Wilson hadde sendt ut om seremonien plukket opp av et par lokale aviser, blant annet «Los Angeles Daile News», med overskriften «Take These Envelopes, Please». Wilson bestemte seg for å formalisere hendelsen, etter at han hadde sett en dobbeltvisning av Can't Stop the Music og Xanadu Han samlet vennene sine til middag og visning av den 53. Oscar-utdelingen igjen, og ga gjestene stemmekort for å stemme fram de verste filmprestasjonene. Wilson sto bak et podium av papp, med en skumgummipall på et kosteskaft som mikrofon, og utropte Can't Stop the Music til tidenes første Razzie-vinner. Antallet tilskuere økte raskt igjennom årene, og allerede den fjerde Razzie-utdelingen ble dekket av CNN og to andre store nyhetskanaler. Wilson har beholdt sin aktive rolle i utdelingene, og blir omtalt som «Head Razzberry». Han skrev også en bok, The Official Razzie Movie Guide, som ble utgitt i 2005 samtidig med at den 25. Razzie-utdelingen ble avholdt.
