Razzie Awards 2026: Anti-Oscars name ‘War Of The Worlds’ as Worst Picture

Razzie Awards 2026: ‘War Of The Worlds’ Crowned Worst Picture

Before the Oscars honor the year’s finest films, the Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, reveal their list of cinematic misfires. Known for their satirical take on film failures, the 46th edition of the Razzies delivered a particularly harsh verdict, naming the Amazon-backed adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic as the worst movie of 2025. The decision sparked widespread debate, with many agreeing that the film’s shallow execution felt like a cultural blunder.

While some might find it humorous, others see it as a necessary counterbalance to cinematic excellence. This year, the Razzie ceremony was dominated by the sci-fi disaster, which swept multiple categories. The film earned five awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel. Rich Lee, the film’s director, and Ice Cube, its star, were both singled out for their contributions to the debacle.

Awards Breakdown

Only four additional films claimed Razzie accolades in the 46th edition. Disney’s Snow White reboot was recognized for Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo, with both honors going to the CGI dwarfs. The choice of the film’s dwarfs as the most egregious misstep was met with little surprise, as their robotic charm was widely mocked.

Rebel Wilson’s action-comedy Bride Hard landed her the Worst Actress award, while Scarlet Rose Stallone took home Worst Supporting Actress for Gunslingers. The Razzies also acknowledged Kate Hudson’s performance in Song Sung Blue with the Redeemer Award, honoring her Oscar-nominated role. Hudson, a frequent nominee, has previously been nominated for My Best Friend’s Girl (2008), Mother’s Day (2016), and Music (2021).
