Netflix’s most expensive film, with $320 million budget, is up for Worst Picture at the Razzie Awards; it starred Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt | Hollywood News

The awards season is going ahead with full steam, with many already reaping the benefits of their incredible performances. However, there are some films which failed to hit the mark by a mile this past year, and to honour them, the Razzie Awards are coming on March 14. The nominations are led by several notable names, including Tron Ares, Snow White, The Alto Knights and The Electric State. The Electric State’s performance will cut the deepest for Netflix, as it turned out to be their most expensive film, with hardly anything to show for it. The Electric State, directed by The Russo Brothers, had an incredibly impressive cast. It included Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Holly Hunter, Giancarlo Esposito and Jason Alexander. However, the film opened to some very poor reviews. Its Rotten Tomatoes score was 14%, and its IMDb rating was 5.9/10. Critics called it “dull” and “lifeless”, and no one could believe that the minds behind Avengers Endgame failed so spectacularly. The Golden Raspberry Awards or Razzie Awards are …

Lady Gaga Promises to ‘Not Do Joker 3’ in Hilarious SNL Opening Monologue; Reacts to Winning Worse Couple Razzie Award

Lady Gaga stepped onto the SNL stage following her movie, Joker: Folie a Deux, failing at the box office. The singer went on to crack a joke about the second movie of the franchise and promised not to sign Joker 3.

Elaborating on the statements, the musician shared, “I know you might be thinking I’m here to promote my album, Mayhem, but I’m actually here to remind you I’m an amazing actor.” The Grammy-winning singer added, “Apparently, people thought it was awesome.”  Pointing out the Razzie win at the recently held ceremony, the Bad Crooner singer revealed that she “loves winning,” the prize just brought her closer to the EGORT.

Francis Ford Coppola ‘thrilled’ by worst director Razzie for Megalopolis | Hollywood

Francis Ford Coppola ‘thrilled’ by worst director Razzie for Megalopolis | Hollywood

Multiple Oscar-winner Francis Ford Coppola on Friday said he was “thrilled” to accept this year’s tongue-in-cheek Razzie Award for worst director, insisting it shows he has a “courage” sorely lacking in modern Hollywood. Francis Ford Coppola has reacted to his Razzie nomination.(AFP) The legendary filmmaker behind “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now” poured his own money into last year’s passion project “Megalopolis,” which divided critics, drawing scorn from several. But Coppola, 85, has always made light of the many barbs aimed at his ambitious and idealistic late-career epic, and his game response to the satirical Razzie Award was no different. Coppola said he was “thrilled” to accept the dubious accolade, “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 …
