….so those are the Razzies 2025 winners!
In fairness to Coppola he issued a statement about his win:
Coppola himself took to Instagram to respond, issuing the following lengthy statement on his instagram account:
“I am thrilled to accept the Razzie award in so many important categories for ‘Megalopolis’ 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!.
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.
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.”
Megalopolis cost him $120m of his own money to make. At the box office it earned $11m!
