Oh, the Razzies. It’s been the antithesis to the status of award season in Hollywood since 1980. The Golden Raspberry has been awarded “Worst Image” to famously dangerous films like Gigli, Cats and Howard the Duck over time, and the latest recipient of the highest prize was Madame Internet, with Dakota Johnson additionally profitable the prize for Greatest Actress as properly. However after listening to her story about Sandra Bullock, the Razzie is perhaps an honor!?!
In any case, Dakota Johnson was up in opposition to the likes of Cate Blanchett, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jennifer Lopez and Woman Gaga for the award, who’re all clearly proficient, separate from their disliked tasks final yr. Right here’s what Johnson shared about how the award allowed her to connect with Bullock:
Sandra Bullock despatched me a voice word being like ‘I heard you’re within the Razzie membership and we must always have brunch. We should always have like a month-to-month brunch’ as a result of I suppose she gained that just like the yr she gained the Oscar as properly. It was like in the identical yr, I feel. However, I freaked out getting this message from her as a result of she’s so iconic to me, as like a film star. I used to be like ‘Oh my god.’ It was simply loopy.
OK, if I have been an actress and I gained a Razzie solely to get a message from Sandra Bullock asking me to brunch, I might really feel unbelievably fortunate. Dakota Johnson shared this story whereas on the Good Grasp With Amy Poehler podcast, and she or he revealed that she had by no means rubbed elbows with Bullock earlier than profitable the award. So, when she obtained the voice-note after the massive Razzie win, she “freaked out.”
Whereas Johnson didn’t say if she truly stumbled upon a Razzie Worst Actress brunch membership, it will truly be a reasonably nice group of ladies. Winners embody Brooke Shields, Madonna, Liza Minnelli, Demi Moore, Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Kristen Stewart, Melissa McCarthy and Kate Hudson, amongst many extra. Like, are you able to think about if all these ladies obtained collectively for a Razzie brunch? That will be epic.
When Johnson gained the award, it was truly her second time, as she additionally earned it almost a decade prior for Fifty Shades Of Gray. In terms of her ideas about incomes the award for the Sony Spider-Man film that critics have been brutal to and in addition bombed on the field workplace a lot that its alleged popcorn bucket was cancelled, Johnson additionally stated this:
I signed on to a film that may be a fully completely different script from once I hooked up myself to, and that’s a wild factor and a loopy journey to go on as an artist, since you’re like ‘I’m doing one thing with my precise physique, my precise thoughts, my coronary heart and feelings and it’s simply being taken and fucked with.’ You’ll be able to’t do something about it. Like, what am I gonna do? Fucking cry about Madame Internet? No, I’m going to giggle about it.
Whereas on her first podcast with Parks and Recreation star Amy Poehler, Johnson made these feedback after speaking about how “very, only a few” actors and filmmakers “have management” over how films prove. They spoke about selecting to have humor about movies like Madame Internet not hitting with audiences, as a result of, properly, it occurs.
Johnson beforehand launched a touch upon the flop by saying she was “not shocked” about what occurred with the film commercially after the “studying expertise” she had on the challenge.
It’s additionally rather a lot simpler to giggle about it when Sandra Bullock is in your nook. (Bullock, by the best way, gained for All About Steve in 2009 after beforehand being nominated for Pace 2.) Madame Internet is now streaming for these with a Netflix subscription.
