# 46th Golden Raspberry Awards
The 46th [Golden Raspberry Awards](https://www.edgepedia.org/golden-raspberry-awards), or Razzies, was an award ceremony held on March 14, 2026, that honored the worst films released in 2025. The Razzies are a parody of the Academy Awards and are presented each year ahead of the mainstream Oscars ceremony on Oscars weekend.[1](https://www.gpb.org/news/2026/03/14/war-of-the-worlds-remake-sinks-the-bottom-at-years-razzie-awards) The event is organized around votes from members of the Golden Raspberry Foundation, and its nominations were announced on January 21, 2026.[2](https://www.channelstv.com/2026/03/14/snow-white-war-of-the-worlds-top-razzies-awards/)

## Nominations
Two remakes led the field. The two leaders went head-to-head in the Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel categories, and also competed in Worst Screen Combo, where the [Seven Dwarfs](https://www.edgepedia.org/seven-dwarfs) of *Snow White* were nominated against Ice Cube and his Zoom camera.[3](https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2026/01/22/2502554/snow-white-war-worlds-among-razzies-2026-nominees)
## Winners
**War of the Worlds dominated the ceremony.** The film, a surveillance-industry take on [H. G. Wells](https://www.edgepedia.org/h-g-wells)'s 1898 novel told largely through video calls, won five Razzies: Worst Picture, Worst Actor for Ice Cube, Worst Screenplay, Worst Director for Rich Lee, and Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel.[1](https://www.gpb.org/news/2026/03/14/war-of-the-worlds-remake-sinks-the-bottom-at-years-razzie-awards) • [4](https://www.avclub.com/ice-cubes-war-of-the-worlds-sweeps-the-46th-razzies) The Amazon-released movie was criticized for its product placement, including a climactic scene in which a Prime Air drone saves humanity from an alien invasion, and despite scathing reviews it became an unlikely hit for Amazon through what critics called "hate-watching."[2](https://www.channelstv.com/2026/03/14/snow-white-war-of-the-worlds-top-razzies-awards/) Foundation members described the direct-to-video remake as a "cult hate-watch classic" and "a near sweeper of our $4.97 trophy."[1](https://www.gpb.org/news/2026/03/14/war-of-the-worlds-remake-sinks-the-bottom-at-years-razzie-awards) The film held a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes for a period before settling at 4%.[5](https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/the-2026-razzies-were-good-or-bad-night-for-war-of-the-worlds)
**Snow White took two awards, both for its dwarfs.** The film's computer-generated dwarfs were named Worst Supporting Actor, with organizers describing them as "frightening, actually terrifying and garishly fake," and the seven creatures also won Worst Screen Combo.[2](https://www.channelstv.com/2026/03/14/snow-white-war-of-the-worlds-top-razzies-awards/) Organizers quipped that "AI doesn't have to cost over $250 million — maybe $20.50, or a seven day free trial period," referring to the Disney film's reportedly enormous budget.[2](https://www.channelstv.com/2026/03/14/snow-white-war-of-the-worlds-top-razzies-awards/)
[Rebel Wilson](https://www.edgepedia.org/rebel-wilson) received the Worst Actress award for *Bride Hard*, where this action-comedy casts her as a maid of honor who is actually an international spy at a wedding that mercenaries have taken over.[2](https://www.channelstv.com/2026/03/14/snow-white-war-of-the-worlds-top-razzies-awards/)
**The Redeemer Award went to Kate Hudson.** The Razzie Redeemer Award is bestowed on a previous Razzie nominee or winner for making a critical or commercial comeback, and it went to Hudson for her Oscar-nominated performance in *Song Sung Blue*.[1](https://www.gpb.org/news/2026/03/14/war-of-the-worlds-remake-sinks-the-bottom-at-years-razzie-awards) Hudson had received earlier Razzie acting nominations for *[My Best Friend's Girl](https://www.edgepedia.org/my-best-friends-girl-2008-film)* (2008), *Mother's Day* (2016), and *Music* (2021).[6](https://www.euronews.com/culture/2026/03/15/razzie-awards-2026-anti-oscars-name-war-of-the-worlds-as-worst-picture)
## Context and criticism
The Golden Raspberry Awards held their first ceremony on March 31, 1981.[7](https://psychotronicreview.com/2026/03/31/golden-raspberry-awards/) The organization has drawn criticism over the years: it was forced to apologize for an "insensitive" nomination of *Firestarter* actor Ryan Kiera Armstrong, who was 12 years old at the time, and it rescinded an award given to [Bruce Willis](https://www.edgepedia.org/bruce-willis) in 2021 after his family disclosed he had been diagnosed with aphasia.[8](https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/sci-fi-movies/war-of-the-worlds-dominates-nominations-for-anti-oscars-the-razzies-though-were-not-super-surprised-given-its-4-percent-rotten-tomatoes-score/) Commentators have also questioned the voting standards. [The A.V. Club](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-a-v-club) argued that the awards reward name recognition over actual viewing, noting that Scarlet Rose Stallone received a nomination for *Gunslingers*, a film most voters likely did not see, and suggested the Razzies adopt a rule like the Oscars' requirement that voters watch the films they weigh in on.[4](https://www.avclub.com/ice-cubes-war-of-the-worlds-sweeps-the-46th-razzies) A film-criticism essay has argued that the Razzies direct attention toward widely reviewed bad films while hundreds of little-known low-budget independent films go unnoticed, and that films later re-evaluated as good, such as *Ishtar*, which won the Razzie for Worst Director while [Elaine May](https://www.edgepedia.org/elaine-may)'s screenplay was also nominated, have been unfairly targeted.[7](https://psychotronicreview.com/2026/03/31/golden-raspberry-awards/)
