Ice Cube and ‘War of the Worlds’ Top the Razzies
The 46th edition of the Golden Raspberry Awards, affectionately known as the Razzies, has unveiled its results, with a single film claiming multiple dubious accolades. The 2025 reimagining of “War of the Worlds” emerged as the standout contender, securing victories in several categories, including worst picture, worst remake/rip-off sequel, worst screenplay, worst director, and worst actor—awarded to Ice Cube.
Winners and Notable Nominations
While “War of the Worlds” (2025) dominated the night, it faced competition in the worst screen combo category, which was claimed by the seven CGI dwarfs from Disney’s 2024 live-action “Snow White.” The artificial septet also claimed the worst supporting actor prize. The Razzies, as per tradition, announced their “winners” the day before the Academy Awards, offering a humorous critique of cinematic misfires.
“Films that are, shall we say, viewed as less than stellar” receive the Razzies’ unique recognition, blending mockery with a dash of irony.
Razzie Redeemer Award
This year’s Redeemer Award was presented to Kate Hudson for her role in “Song Sung Blue,” following her 2021 Razzie for worst actress in “Music.” The award celebrates performers who redeem their previous performances, often with a touch of irony.

Final Notes
The Razzies’ annual tradition of celebrating cinematic failures remains as entertaining as ever, with this year’s list highlighting a mix of over-the-top performances, confusing plots, and questionable creative choices. From AI-generated dwarfs to a rebooted alien invasion, the 2026 ceremony once again proved that even the worst films can leave a lasting impression.
