I thought about "premio de consolación" as I finish writing my question, but that is an actual prize, i.e., "consolation prize", which is not really a joke...

I thought about "premio naranja" "premio limón" (I don't know if this is something used only in my family, my sisters and I used to give the prize of "tía limón" to the most unfriendly aunt... but that's not even the same...)

I think there were something like some kind of "Oscars" to the worst movies... But still no joy on finding the Spanish expression for these things...
