Ice Cube’s ‘War of the Worlds’ Dominates 46th Razzie Awards

The 46th Razzie Awards have been announced, and Ice Cube’s 2025 sci-fi adaptation, War of the Worlds, was the big “winner,” taking home five awards. The film was recognized for its perceived shortcomings across multiple categories, solidifying its place as a modern “cult hate-watch classic.”

Razzie Awards 2026: Key Winners

War of the Worlds secured the dishonors for Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Ice Cube), Worst Director (Rich Lee), Worst Screenplay (Kenny Golde and Marc Hyman), and Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel [Variety]. The Razzies committee noted the film’s “goofy gimmick” and “hack dialogue” in their statement [BBC News].

Other Notable “Winners”

Rebel Wilson was named Worst Actress for her performance in the action-comedy Bride Hard. Scarlet Rose Stallone, daughter of Sylvester Stallone, received the Worst Supporting Actress award for her role in Gunslingers. The seven computer-generated dwarfs from Disney’s 2025 live-action remake of Snow White shared the Worst Supporting Actor award and as well took home the Worst Screen Combo prize [MSN].

A Razzie Redeemer

Amidst the acknowledgements of cinematic low points, Kate Hudson received the Razzie Redeemer Award. This award recognizes a performer who has overcome past Razzie nominations to achieve critical acclaim. Hudson, a previous three-time nominee for My Best Friend’s Girl, Mother’s Day, and Music (winning Worst Actress for the latter), is now earning positive recognition for her Oscar-nominated performance in Song Sung Blue [Variety].

The Razzies: A Tradition of Recognizing the Worst

The Razzie Awards, established to playfully “honor” the worst in film, serve as a counterpoint to the more prestigious Academy Awards. The awards are voted on by members of the Golden Raspberry Awards Foundation [Breitbart].
