Ice Cube and ‘War of the Worlds’ top the Razzies
The 46th Razzie Awards have unveiled their results, with a single film sweeping multiple categories in the annual list of cinematic missteps. The 2025 remake of War of the Worlds dominated the worst-of-the-worst honors, claiming titles in worst picture, worst remake/rip-off sequel, worst screenplay, worst director, and worst actor—lastly awarded to Ice Cube. This year’s ceremony, held just before the Oscars, marked a significant moment for the Golden Raspberry Awards, which continue their tradition of celebrating the most underwhelming films of the year.
“The Razzies take a tongue-in-cheek approach to cinema, handing out awards for those films that are, shall we say, viewed as less than stellar,” the organization explained in its annual statement.
Notable Winners and Nominations
War of the Worlds (2025) was not only the biggest winner but also shared its roots with the 2005 Tom Cruise film, both derived from H. G. Wells’ 1898 novel. Despite its six nominations, it missed out on the worst screen combo category, which went to the seven CGI dwarfs from Disney’s Snow White (2025). The artificial septet also claimed the worst supporting actor prize.
Redeemer Award Highlights
This season’s Razzie Redeemer Award was presented to Kate Hudson for her role in Song Sung Blue, following her 2021 win for worst actress in Music. The award recognizes performers who redeem themselves after a previous Razzie nod.
