no Blood and Honey 2, all credibility (ok.. there was none) for the Razzies are lost

[M.10rda]

Only 1 nomination for ARGYLLE = serious lapse in credibility. That was worse than anything else on this list I've seen.

[Leah]

I'm surprised Harold and the Purple Crayon wasn't nominated for Worst Picture, my friends were ripping it apart.

[HappyGilmore]

Nice to see Madame Web in like every category

[M.10rda]

Did you see it? It's an obvious choice but not nearly the best, which is to say worst,  choice for inclusion. I feel like this Website sees more bad movies annually and would be more qualified to nominate titles for these awards... every year the Razzies list seems like it was assembled in 5 minutes during someone's coffee break.

[HappyGilmore]

Watched it on Netflix. There's definitely others that are terrible but something about it just irritated me.

Francis Ford Coppola react to the Razzies, from his Instagram account:

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!

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.

[M.10rda]

Right on, Francis!

[Rev. Powell]

Voight was the only one who actually might have merited a nomination for MEGALOPOLIS.
