Francis Ford Coppola Graciously Accepts His “Worst Director” Razzie Like a True Cinematic Rebel

Buy Me A Coffee

Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola, the man who gave us The Godfather, just added another shiny trophy to his collection—except this one isn’t exactly something you display next to your Oscars.

On Friday, February 28, the 2025 Razzie Awards declared him Worst Director for Megalopolis, his long-awaited, mega-ambitious, and apparently, mega-confusing film. But wait, there’s more! His leading man, Jon Voight, also walked away with Worst Supporting Actor—because why should Coppola suffer alone?

Megalopolis was up for six Razzie nominations, proving that when you aim for the stars, sometimes you just land in a dumpster.

Coppola Responds: “This Is Fine. Everything Is Fine.”
Instead of sulking in a dimly lit room while sipping wine from a goblet shaped like Marlon Brando’s head, Coppola took to Instagram to respond to his, uh… “achievement.”

“I am thrilled to accept the Razzie award in so many important categories,” he wrote, presumably while dramatically tossing a scarf over his shoulder.

Yes, THRILLED—because nothing says career milestone like being declared the cinematic equivalent of a gas station hot dog.

Coppola also took this golden opportunity to roast modern Hollywood, saying:

“At a time when so few have the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary moviemaking…”

Translation: Y’all just don’t get my genius.

And then, things got spicy:

“In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling…”

Honestly, we’d pay good money to see Martin Scorsese suplex a Rotten Tomatoes critic.

Finally, he wrapped things up with:

“Box-office is only about money, and like war, stupidity, and politics, has no true place in our future.”

We’re not sure what that means, but we respect the vibe.

The Bottom Line?
Coppola may have “won” the Razzie, but in his heart, he’s still the auteur behind some of the greatest films of all time. And honestly? A Razzie just means you made something interesting enough for people to have STRONG feelings about.

Will Megalopolis be remembered in 50 years? Who knows. But at least Francis Ford Coppola’s Instagram posts will live forever.
