Francis Ford Coppola is excited about his Razzie Award nominations for his film Megalopolis, which has received five nominations including Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Director. Coppola expressed pride in his Razzies campaign, embracing the awards' contrarian ethos and criticizing the film industry's focus on box office success. Despite the film's commercial failure, Coppola remains hopeful that Megalopolis will become a future classic. The director invested $120 million in the production, faced controversies during filming, and used unconventional marketing tactics, including fake quotes in the trailer. Other films nominated for Razzies this year, like Madame Web and Joker: Folie a Deux, have also embraced the negative press as a marketing strategy.
