In the world of 2025, bad is good. Dumb is smart. Ghastly is great. And winning a Razzie® is a good thing. Just ask any of the well-known talents represented in this year’s 45th Annual Razzies list.
Even a cinematic maestro occasionally musters up a misfire. And one of Hollywood’s greatest filmmakers, Francis Ford Coppola, is not above claiming his Razzie as director for Megalopolis.
The $4.97 trophies for Worst Picture, Screenplay and Actress (Dakota Johnson) went to a comic-book-based movie that spent most of 2024 being touted by movie-goers everywhere as “a serious Razzie contender” - Madame Web.
Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel and Worst Screen Combo were both “won” by Joker: Folie a Deux, a much-anticipated sequel whose predecessor was a monster hit worldwide (and an Oscar winner). But this follow-up disappointed (i.e. pissed off!) audiences all over the world and thus wound up in the Razzie winners’ circle.
This year’s Razzie Redeemer choice was previously named Worst New Star of 1996 for Barb Wire. But in 2024 Pamela Anderson was critically acclaimed for her stellar performance in the title role of The Last Showgirl, earning her our Razzie halo.
Other winners include Jon Voight as Worst Supporting Actor for Megalopolis, Reagan, Shadow Land and Strangers, as well as Jerry Seinfeld (Worst Actor) and Amy Schumer (Supporting Actress) both for Unfrosted.
A complete list of “winners” is included below and is also available at Razzies.com. Watch the Official 45th Razzie “Winners” video.
Results were determined by emailing ballots to 1,217 Razzie Members (movie buffs, film critics and journalists) from 49 US States and about two dozen foreign countries who chose the “winners” in nine categories. The Redeemer award was decided by the Razzie Board of Governors.

Coppola is my favorite director. Even his “bad” movies at least look good. I especially like the look of his period pieces (Tucker, Peggy Sue Got Married, Cotton Club).
Maybe I should see Megalopolis.
Well, they can’t all be The Godfather 🤷
Seems like I read that Coppola sunk a bunch of his own money into Megalopolis.
“Peggy Sue Got Married”
Still not gettin’ it
Things just aren’t working out for Jerry seinfeld. Time for him to consider the Bloomingdales Executive Sales School.
Godfather 3 wasn’t the Godfather either.
Unfrosted was atrocious. I was disappointed.
Incredible how far the great director has fallen - after masterpieces like Godfather parts I and II.
I tried to watch it. I really did. But after about a half hour into it, I decided that it would be far less tedious to watch paint dry and gave up (and I have made it all the way through some really bad movies over the years).
