Razzie Awards 2026: Anti-Oscars Name ‘War Of The Worlds’ as Worst Picture
Tradition dictates that before the Oscars honor the year’s finest films, the Golden Raspberry Awards—commonly known as the Razzies—take center stage, spotlighting the cinematic misfires that define the year. While some may view it as a jab, others see it as a way to balance the cinematic scales, offering a counterpoint to Hollywood’s celebrated achievements.
The 46th edition of the Razzies crowned *War Of The Worlds* as the most critically panned film of 2026, with Ice Cube starring in the latest adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic. The Amazon-backed remake, a baffling take on the original, has been labeled a “cinematic crime against humanity” by many, and its dominance at the parody awards this year cements that reputation.
The Amazon-sponsored adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic novel is a comedic disaster, earning its place as a cinematic crime against humanity.
With *War Of The Worlds* securing five Razzie honors, including Worst Picture, Worst Director (Rich Lee), Worst Actor (Ice Cube), Worst Screenplay (Kenny Golde, Marc Hyman), and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel, only four other films claimed awards this year. Disney’s *Snow White* remake, for instance, was handed two prizes: Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo, both for the film’s CGI dwarfs. Again, the verdict seems undeniable.
Rebel Wilson’s action-comedy *Bride Hard* and Scarlet Rose Stallone’s *Gunslingers* also drew attention, with Wilson taking home Worst Actress and Stallone earning Worst Supporting Actress. Meanwhile, Kate Hudson was recognized with the Redeemer Award for her Oscar-nominated role in *Song Sung Blue*, a nod to her recurring presence in the Razzie catalog. Hudson has previously received nominations for *My Best Friend’s Girl* (2008), *Mother’s Day* (2016), and *Music* (2021).
