Richard Burton for his disheartening performance in Doctor Faustus; The Comedians

Natalie Wood Award to Worst Actress:
Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C. (1966); The Biggest Bundle of Them All (1968); Bedazzled

Worst Supporting Actor:
Whatsisname, The Valley of the Dolls

Worst Supporting Actress:
Jean Shrimpton, Privilege

The Ok-Doc-Break-the-Arm-Again Award:
The Comedians for the waste of Peter Ustinov and Alec Guinness in roles as dull as they were uninteresting, and to Charlton Heston for portraying a human being in Plant of the Apes

The Hey-Jack-Which-Way-to-Mecca-Award:
(for worst direction)
Claude Lelouche, Live for Life

The Please-Don't-Put-Us-Through-DeMille-Again Award:
(for that film which best embodies pretentious extravagance and blundering ineffectiveness of the traditional Screen Spectacular)
Camelot

The Piltdown Mandible:
(to the most obviously and unabashedly spurious scientific phenomena)
One Million Years B.C. (1966) for the contemporaneous existence of Raquel Welch and a passel of dinosaurs; an unscientific juxtaposition redounding entirely to the credit of the dinosaurs

The Uncrossed Heart:
(for the least promising young performer)
Katharine Hepburn's niece Katharine Houghton, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

The Mobius Strip:
(to the most boring and unnecessary undressing scene)
Barbara Parkins preparing to meet the Fate Worse Than Death in Valley of the Dolls

The Beast of Buchenwald Award:
To those actors who must thoroughly degrade themselves in order to pull in the paycheck, this handsomely tooled lampshade goes to the extras who played the apes in the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

The Ayn Rand Award:
(for that writer whose bad books made worse movies)
Graham Greene, an otherwise fine author, for the Comedians


The Dance of the Seven Scott Tissues Award:
(to the most lewd and completely unwarranted dancing scene)
Raquel Welch, Bedazzled

Worst Performance by a Cast in Toto:
The Mills family, The Family Way

The Arrested-Development Oblation:

Always given to Jerry Lewis

To the "show" in Titicut Follies

(for the worst scenes of the cinema season)
Patty Duke's withdrawal fit in Valley of the Dolls

The Tedium is the Medium Citation:
(to the worst student film)
Tim Hunter's Desire is the Fire


The Exhausted Udder:
Presented by the Dairy Farmers Assn., in recognition of the attempts to milk every penny possible from a marketable idea, such as film versions of obviously unfilmable sellers, etc.; this year, the handsome prize in withered polyurethane goes to the producers of The Fox

The Tin Pan:
(to the most obnoxious movie song)
Leslie Bricusse's "Talk to the Animals" in Doctor Dolittle, for blood-curdling anthropomorphism

The Best Argument for Reactivating Ellis Island:
(to the worst foreign film)
Poor Cow

The Sentimental Mushmelon:
(to the film that best reminds us of that true Poignancy, that bitter Sweetness, which we know as Life)
Elvira Madigan

The Cheap-at-Half-the-Price Award:
For the worst bargain in a film from the last year, to Half a Sixpence

The Guess-Who's-Stepping-Out-to-Tommy's-Lunch Award:
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

The Timothy Cratchit Memorial Crutch:
(to that Hollywood personality who offers the lamest justification for unsavory behavior)
Mia Farrow, who followed the Maharishi all the way to India just to be able to cream an Indian reporter with her handbag

The H.J. Heinz Laurel Wreath:
(to that film that makes most extensive use of the company's various vegetable derivatives)
Bonnie and Clyde

The Bratwurst Award:
(to the most obnoxious child star)
Lulu, as the warbling adolescent in To Sir, with Love

Best Argument for Vivisection:
Doctor Dolittle, The Jungle Book, and The Fox, an unusual spate of bad sentimentalism and worse symbolism

The On-A-Clear-Day-You-Can-See-Fall-River Citation:
(for the most stereotypical New England Scenery)
Valley of the Dolls for the eternally snow-blanketed shots of "Lawrenceville, N.H.," which was really Bedford, N.Y.

The Bennett:
(to the worst surfing movie)
Surfari

The Merino Award:
To the Pushme-Pullyou in Doctor Dolittle, who is, as we take it, a distant cousin to the merinos, and at any rate leads just as tenuous an existence

The Roscoe Award:
Sanny Dennis, Up the Down Staircase, The Fox
