Francis Ford Coppola Critiques Hollywood After Razzie Win for 'Megalopolis'

The acclaimed director accepted the Razzie for Worst Director, using the moment to criticize the industry's risk-averse approach.

The $120 million 'Megalopolis,' featuring a star-studded cast including Adam Driver and Aubrey Plaza, was both a box office failure and critically divisive.
