The 8th Golden Raspberry Awards were held on April 10, 1988, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel to recognize the worst the film industry had to offer in 1987. Leonard Part 6 was the biggest "winner" with three awards out of five nominations. Although he did not attend the ceremony, actor/producer/co-writer Bill Cosby later accepted all his awards on The Late Show.[1] This marked the only time Cosby "earned" a Razzie prior to the sexual assault allegations levied against him in October 16, 2014, which besmirched his career and legacy.
