The 24th Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, were held on February 28, 2004, at the Sheraton Hotel in Santa Monica, California, to honor the worst films the film industry had to offer in 2003.

Late summer box office flop Gigli led the pack, receiving nine nominations and becoming the first film to sweep the six major categories (Worst Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Screenplay, and Screen Couple).{{cite web |title=Gigli nominated as Razzies' prize turkey |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2004/jan/26/awardsandprizes.news |website=the Guardian |date=26 January 2004}}{{cite web |title=CNN.com - At the Razzies, it's a Bennifer sweep - Feb. 28, 2004 |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/28/razzies.reut/index.html |website=Cnn.com }} Tied for second most-nominated, with eight each, were the Mike Myers holiday film The Cat in the Hat and From Justin to Kelly, a remake of Where the Boys Are inspired by the television series American Idol.

Razzies founder John Wilson delivered the trophy to the studios of Larry King Live but Affleck was unimpressed and left it behind. Wilson retrieved the trophy and auctioned it on eBay.{{cite web |date=March 17, 2004 |author=Stephen M.
