How Sandra Bullock turned Dakota Johnson's infamous Razzie win for Madame Web into something positive
Rumours have been swirling that Dakota Johnson and Coldplay's Chris Martin have ended their eight-year relationship. Adding to a challenging few months, Dakota also took home a Razzie Award for her role in Madame Web (2024), a film that failed to impress audiences and critics alike. In a recent episode of Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, Johnson opened up about a surprising message she received from none other than Sandra Bullock. The Hollywood icon reached out after Dakota's Razzie win for Worst Actress, an infamous award that Bullock herself once won. 'I recently actually exchanged texts — well, I got a voice note — from Sandra Bullock, because I don't know if you know, but I won the Razzie for Worst Actress,' Johnson revealed. 'There's a lot of good people who have won that… but Sandra Bullock sent me a voice note, being like 'I heard you are in the Razzie club and we should have brunch, we should have a monthly brunch.' Because I guess she won that the year that she won the Oscar as well. It was in the same year, I think.' Johnson shared how special the message felt: 'I freaked out getting this message from her because she's so iconic to me, as like a movie star. I was like, 'Oh my God.' I was just crazy.' The Razzie sweep wasn't just a blow to Johnson personally; Madame Web itself was a major disappointment, taking home Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay awards. The film, which stars Johnson as Cassandra Webb — a paramedic who gains precognitive abilities after a near-death experience — fell flat with audiences. Earlier, Dakota stood firm in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, asserting that the film's failure was not her fault.

Dakota Johnson reveals surprising A-list support after her embarrassing Razzie win for box office disaster Madame Web
Dakota Johnson received the Razzie Award for Worst Actress in 2024 for her role in box office flop Madame Web. And now the 35-year-old actress is opening up about the embarrassing career moment, sharing which A-list star showed her support. Johnson — who is the nepo baby of Melanie Griffith — revealed on Amy Poehler 's Good Hang podcast that Sandra Bullock reached out to her about the disaster. Bullock received the same Worst Actress dishonor in 2010 for her role in All About Steve. In a show of good humor, she attended the event to collect the award. '[She] sent me a voice note being like, "I heard you are in the Razzie club and we should have brunch, we should have a monthly brunch,"' Dakota spilled on Tuesday's episode of Amy's show. The Lost Daughter star also recalled how she reacted to Sandra's voice note. 'I freaked out getting this message from her because she's so iconic to me, as like a movie star. I was like, "Oh my God." I was just crazy,' she said. Last year Dakota was said to have infuriated her Madame Web bosses by making multiple public digs at the Marvel movie amid its poor performance. She played the titular superhero in the $80million production, which was ripped to shreds by critics and viewers alike following its Valentine's Day 2024 release. About a month into its theatrical premiere, it had only grossed $40 million domestically. It had one of the lowest superhero debuts in recent history, taking in a modest $15.1 million in its opening weekend. Elsewhere in the Good Hang appearance, the silver screen siren chatted about the franchise that launched her to fame — Fifty Shades of Grey. She told Amy she is 'always psyched' to shoot the movies' steamy moments. When asked how she hypes herself up for portraying the act on camera, she answered: 'I don't have to. I'm, like, always psyched up for sex.' She noted that lessons she learned from her mother have spilled into her entertainment career. 'I want to feel good in my body,' she said. 'If I'm showing my body... my mom raised to me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body, so I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work, because I can use it and it feels real.' Johnson added, 'She also talked to me about sex and how precious and important [it is]. 'So I guess in my work... it's something that I feel brave with and that I feel when it's used the right way in a story, it's important.'

Francis Ford Coppola to receive the 50th AFI Life Achievement Award from George Lucas and Steven Spielberg
Francis Ford Coppola is about to trade in his Razzie Award for an AFI Life Achievement Award. The five-time Oscar winner has been named the 50th recipient of the American Film Institute's most prestigious honor. It couldn't come at a better time. Earlier this year, the 86-year-old filmmaker "won" the Worst Director Razzie for directing Megalopolis, his big-screen gamble that failed to connect with audiences. More from GoldDerby 2026 Oscars calendar: Key dates for awards shows, nominations announcements 2025 Drama League Awards nominations: 51 actors up for Distinguished Performance, 'The Hills of California' snubbed 'Succession' creator unveils 'Mountainhead' trailer, Kevin Hart to host BET Awards, 'Song Sung Blue' release date, and more of today's top stories Coppola's directing buddies George Lucas and Steven Spielberg will present the trophy on April 26. The televised special, titled The 50th AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Francis Ford Coppola, will air on TNT with an encore on TCM at a later date. The swanky tribute will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, with other A-list guests and presenters including Gia Coppola, Roman Coppola, Robert De Niro, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Dustin Hoffman, Ron Howard, C. Thomas Howell, Diane Lane, Spike Lee, Ralph Macchio, and Al Pacino. Watch the video announcement: "There is only one Francis Ford Coppola," said Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO. "And it is AFI's honor to gather the art and entertainment communities, along with his family, friends and colleagues to celebrate cinema — all of it — and the very best of it.' Established by the AFI Board of Trustees in 1973, the Life Achievement Award is presented to an honoree each year based on the following criteria: "The recipient should be one whose talent has in a fundamental way advanced the film art; whose accomplishment has been acknowledged by scholars, critics, professional peers and the general public; and whose work has stood the test of time." Three of Coppola's films — The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and Apocalypse Now — among the organization's best-of list for "AFI's 100 Years…100 Movies." In addition to his five competitive Oscars — for writing Patton (1970), writing The Godfather (1972), and producing, directing, and writing The Godfather Part II (1974) — Coppola also received the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Academy Award in 2010. Recent AFI lifetime recipients include Nicole Kidman, Julie Andrews, Denzel Washington, George Clooney, Diane Keaton, John Williams, Steve Martin, Jane Fonda, Mel Brooks, Shirley MacLaine, and Morgan Freeman.
