Madame Net and Joker: Folie à Deux win and lose with gusto at this 12 months’s Razzie Awards, whereas Coppola wins for Worst Director.
The forty fifth Razzie Awards outcomes are in. Sony’s Madame Net is the clear winner/loser of this 12 months’s dragging of cinematic mediocrity with three wins, together with Worst Image, Worst Actress for Dakota Johnson, and Worst Screenplay. The Razzie outcomes arrive two days earlier than Oscar Sunday when movies that some take into account the most effective of the most effective have their probability to shine.
Madame Net taking the highest prize is unsurprising given the film’s abysmal high quality. It was my worst movie of 2024 and a Golden Schmoe nominee for worst film of 2024, solely to be overwhelmed by Todd Phillips’s Joker: Folie a Deux. Dakota Johnson hardly tried to defend the movie throughout its PR tour, saying she “probably will never make anything like it again.” To be honest, she loved working along with her castmates, who, regardless of circumstances, gave Madame Net the outdated school attempt, however the movie changed into one thing fully totally different from what Johnson had in thoughts when she signed on.
Jerry Seinfeld snagged the Razzie for Worst Actor because of his Unfrosted movie, whereas Amy Schumer earned Worst Supporting Actress for a similar film concerning the struggle between Kellogg’s and Submit to create a cake that would change breakfast eternally, the Pop Tart.
One filmmaker who took his Razzie nominations in stride was Francis Ford Coppola, who gained Worst Director for Megalopolis. Coppola celebrated his win on Friday by posting a cheeky response on Instagram.
“I am thrilled to accept the Razzie award in so many important categories for @megalopolisfilm , and for the distinctive honor of being nominated as the worst director, worst screenplay, and worst picture at a time when so few have the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary moviemaking,” he stated.
“In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now,” Coppola wrote.
“What an honor to stand alongside a great and courageous filmmaker like Jacques Tati who impoverished himself completely to make one of cinema’s most beloved failures, PLAYTIME! My sincere thanks to all my brilliant colleagues who joined me to make our work of art, MEGALOPOLIS, and let us remind ourselves us that box-office is only about money, and like war, stupidity and politics has no true place in our future.”
