Bill Cosby on receiving Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Actor, for the film 1987 Leonard Part 6 — reported in Elias, Thomas D. (June 30, 1990), "Cosby not ready to give up the ghost", Denver Rocky Mountain News page: 69, publisher: Denver Publishing Co.

I said to my publicist when I got the word, 'I want my Golden Raspberry and if it isn't golden, I'm going to the press.' My publicist called back and said they were upset, that they said they were just a little outfit operating out of one room. They tried to cop out. But if you take a big name and you say 'worst,' you have to perform. So they came up with the trophies and I got them on a show on the Fox network. It was a lot of fun to do, because they weren't serious and had never been called on it by anyone who got a Razzie.
