Rachel Zegler’s Snow White and Ice Cube’s ‘War of the Worlds’ lead 2026 Razzie nominations
Other titles nominated as the worst films of the year include Millie Bobby Brown’s Netflix action-adventure ‘The Electric State’
Hollywood's annual tradition of spotlighting its cinematic missteps has commenced, with Disney's live-action Snow White and the remake of War of the Worlds leading the nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards.
Popularly known as the Razzies, these awards serve as an annual Oscar spoof, highlighting what voters deem the year's worst performances and productions.
The 2025 remake of the 1937 animated classic, Snow White, garnered six nominations, including worst picture, worst remake, worst director, and worst screenplay.
Rachel Zegler stars as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, with its seven computer-generated dwarf characters also singled out for both worst supporting actors and worst screen combo.
Tying with "Snow White", the 2025 science fiction film War of the Worlds, starring rapper Ice Cube and actor Eva Longoria, also received six nods.
Based on H.G. Wells' 1898 novel, its nominations include worst picture, worst actors, worst remake, worst director, worst screenplay, and worst screen combo.
Other films facing Razzie scrutiny include the psychological thriller Hurry Up Tomorrow, the science fiction entry Star Trek: Section 31, and the Netflix action-adventure The Electric State, featuring Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.
More than 1,100 members of the Golden Raspberry Foundation, comprising film critics and movie experts from the United States and two dozen other countries, cast their votes for the awards.
