The Razzie awards, honouring the year's worst films and actors, are to be awarded on April 1, April Fools' Day.
Formerly known at The Golden Raspberrys, The Razzies are traditionally awarded the day before the annual Oscars.
Razzie organisers said moving the date of the awards would allow its voting committee more time 'to see the drek they will eventually nominate'.
'John Wilson and Mo Murphy, co-owners of the Razzies, saw a unique opportunity to do something they've wanted to do since their awards were created in 1980: emphasise [its] comedic intent by unveiling the 'winners' of Tinsel Town's Tackiest Trophy on April Fools' Day,' said a Razzies statement.
M Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender was awarded the most Razzies last year including worst director.
Named worst actor was Ashton Kutcher in Valentine's Day and his co-star Jessica Alba won worst supporting actress.
Organisers believe Adam Sandler will be top of the nominee list this year for his roles in Just Go With It, Jack and Jill and Bucky Larson.
Nominations are to announced on the day of the Oscars, February 25.
