When they ended, I pulled out a cardboard podium I had made, and we just called people up and decided there, "You're doing screenplay.You're doing actors." It was very fulfilling and very improvised, but you could tell that the people there thought that it was incredibly funny and a lot of fun. The Razzie group that voted the first year was less than 50 people, and we did a potluck dinner and watched the Oscars. This is not a dollar's worth of entertainment."
