On Monday, March 3, 2025, the biggest movie awards i.e. the Oscars aka the Academy Awards 2025 will be announced celebrating the best of cinema in 2024.
Two days before that, 45th Golden Raspberry Awards aka the Razzies winners are announced which recognise the worst of cinema in 2024.
And the winners or rather losers in this case include Madame Web, Joker: Folie à Deux and Megalopolis among others.
Check out the list of Razzie Awards 2025 winners below:
Worst PictureBorderlands: A big-budget video-game-based bomb that racked up 90 percent negative reviews at Rotten Tomatoes (and suffered an estimated $100+ million loss)
Joker: Folie à Deux: A highly anticipated comic-book-based sequel that had its protagonists express their mental illness and villainy — by singing and dancing!
Madame Web: A comic-book-based movie originally released a year ago that spent the rest of 2024 being touted everywhere as “a serious Razzie contender” (WINNER)
Megalopolis (aka WTF the Movie): An incoherent $120 million mess from the fabled director of The Godfather
Reagan: A love letter to the 40th president that “borrowed” its plot structure from Citizen Kane (with Jon Voight imitating Bullwinkle’s nemesis Boris Badenov as its narrator)

Reacting to the Worst Director win for Megalopolis, legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola who is known for helming The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now among others shared on Instagram that he is thrilled to accept the award.
His post read, “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.”
