Sandra Bullock supports Dakota Johnson after Razzie win by reaching out with a warm invitation for brunch, following Johnson’s recent recognition as Worst Actress for Madame Web. The exchange highlights solidarity between the two actresses, both of whom have experienced similar moments in their careers.
Connection Over Shared Razzie Experience
After Dakota Johnson received the Razzie Award for Worst Actress for her performance in Madame Web, Sandra Bullock made a supportive gesture by sending her a voice message. Johnson revealed during the Good Hang podcast that Bullock reached out with a lighthearted offer.
“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 further explained that Bullock’s message included the suggestion that they should connect regularly over their shared experience. The invitation was both encouraging and humorous, referencing their mutual membership in the so-called “Razzie club.”
“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.”

Sandra Bullock’s Own Journey with Awards
Sandra Bullock’s Razzie win took place for her role in All About Steve, a 2009 comedy directed by Phil Traill. Despite the film‘s modest box office performance, critics reacted negatively, leading to several Razzie nominations. Bullock famously attended the Razzie ceremony in person to accept her Worst Actress award. Remarkably, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress the same year for her work in The Blind Side as Leigh Anne Tuoy.
Reflecting on Madame Web and Other Marvel Connections
Dakota Johnson portrayed Cassandra Webb in Madame Web, which aimed to introduce the origin story of a significant Marvel character. In the comics, Madame Web is an elderly woman with a rare autoimmune disease, while Johnson’s version presented a fresh perspective. Despite breaking even financially, the Sony Marvel movie was broadly criticized and featured on lists highlighting notably poor films, including Wikipedia’s
“List of films considered the worst.”
The cast and crew of Madame Web have considered the film’s outcome with a sense of perspective, with Johnson expressing little concern over the critical response. She has commented that the film
“started out as something and turned into something else,”
and responded to its flop by saying, “Who cares?” Other surprising industry notes include Madame Web outperforming some anticipated titles like Deadpool and Wolverine in streaming rankings.
Additionally, Amanda Seyfried, known for her role in Mean Girls, was previously offered the part of Gamora in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She declined out of concern that Guardians of the Galaxy might not succeed, demonstrating the unpredictable nature of the industry.
What Comes Next
Madame Web is now available for streaming on Netflix, allowing viewers to form their own opinions about the movie. The supportive interaction between Sandra Bullock and Dakota Johnson reveals the camaraderie within Hollywood, especially when navigating challenging moments. Both actresses, joined by experiences like these and connections with figures such as Poehler, continue to shape their legacies—demonstrating humor and resilience in the face of criticism and shifting public reception.
