Coppola Wire Director, Pamela Anderson Rehabilitated… The Razzie Awards deliver their record

He was a philosopher of this award. The American director Francis Ford Coppola said he “delighted” to accept this Friday, February 28, the Razzie Award of the worst director of this year, by clearly criticizing Hollywood’s reluctance to any “risk”

The multi-ornament filmmaker, author of the “godfather” and “Apocalypse Now”, invested $ 120 million in his own money, and sold part of his vines in California to produce “Megalopolis”, a vast fresco that divided criticism during its release last year. And receiving an anti-ossar for this passion project does not seem to depress it.

“What an honor,” says Coppola

On social networks, the artist said he was “delighted” to accept this distinction this raid, a price usually ignored by his recipients, “at a time when so few people have the courage to go against the dominant trends of contemporary cinema”.

He deplored that art is now “noted as if it were a professional struggle” and has the reluctance of Hollywood, “an industry so terrified by the risk that, despite the huge reservoir of young talents at his disposal, she may not create images that will be relevant and lively in 50 years”. “What an honor to be alongside a great courageous filmmaker like Jacques Tati, who has completely impoverished to make one of the most popular failures in cinema, Playtime ! “, He added.

Dakota Johnson, Jerry Seinfield and Lady Gaga in the record

Among the other winners of the raids this year, Dakota Johnson was designated worse actress for her superhero film “Madame Web”, which was also referred to worse film of the year and worse scenario. Jerry Seinfeld was named worse actor for “Unfrosted”, a surrealist story on pop-tart pastries. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga were designated as the worst duo of actors for “Joker: Folie for two”. The continuation of the successful film also won the raid of the worst prequel, remake, reboot or suite.

Finally, Pamela Anderson, for her part, won the only “positive” prize of the evening, that of the Razzie de la Redemption. This category, created in 2014, aims to reward a former winner who is reducing an artistic virginity after a commercial or interpretation failure. The star of “Malibu alert” was thus rented for his performance in “The Last Showgirl”, 29 years after being crowned “worse revelation” at the 1996 raids.

Perody prices, the raids were created in 1981 to make fun of the cultivation of Hollywood self -atism. Each year they are awarded shortly before the Oscars.
