Dakota Johnson revealed on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast that Sandra Bullock reached out to her earlier this year after Johnson won the Razzie Award for worst actress. Bullock previously “won” the same prize in 2010 for her performance in the rom-com “All About Steve.” Bullock then won the Oscar for best actress a few days later thanks to “The Blind Side.”
“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 told Poehler. “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.”
“I freaked out getting this message from her because she’s so iconic to me, as like a movie star,” Johnson added. “I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I was just crazy.”
“Madame Web,” Johnson’s infamous superhero flop from 2024, also won the Razzie Awards for worst picture and worst screenplay. Johnson headlined the Sony comic book movie as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic who gains the ability to see the future after a near-death experience. The film earned a dismal $43 million at the domestic box office and an 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. Johnson recently told the Los Angeles Times that “Madame Web” flopping was not her fault.
“There’s this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don’t have a creative bone in their body,” Johnson said. “And it’s really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way. And I think unfortunately with ‘Madame Web,’ it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.”
Expanding on her thoughts to Poehler, Johnson said that the final cut of “Madame Web” was “a completely different script than what I attached to,” adding: “That is a wild thing to like a crazy journey to go on as an artist because you’re like, ‘Okay, I’m doing something like with my actual body and my actual mind and my heart, my emotions. I’m like using things. And it’s just being taken and fucked with.’ But you can’t do anything about it. Like, what am I gonna do? Fucking cry about ‘Madame Web’? No.”
