The Annual Dishonor#

The Golden Raspberry Awards, popularly known as the Razzies, have officially unveiled their nominations for the year's most critically panned films. This parody awards show serves as a counterpoint to the prestigious Academy Awards, celebrating cinematic misfires with a distinct sense of humor.

The voting body's selections for the 46th edition feature a diverse array of projects, from big-budget studio releases to star-driven vehicles that failed to connect with audiences. As usual, the list offers a fascinating glimpse into the year's most divisive entertainment.

Top Contenders Emerge#

Two films have emerged as the clear frontrunners for this year's dishonors. Ice Cube's recent remake-adaptation of War of the Worlds and the live-action Snow White film, starring Rachel Zegler in the title role, have each secured six nominations.

Just behind these two projects is The Weeknd's highly divisive feature Hurry Up Tomorrow, which landed five nominations. All three of these leading projects are competing for the Razzie for worst picture.

The worst picture category is particularly competitive this year, featuring five total nominees:

  • The Electric State
  • Hurry Up Tomorrow
  • Snow White (2025)
  • Star Trek: Section 31
  • War of the Worlds (2025)

Star Power in the Spotlight#

The nominations feature several high-profile names competing for the recognition undoubtedly none of them want. Both Ice Cube and The Weeknd were recognized in the worst actor category for their respective performances in War of the Worlds and Hurry Up Tomorrow.

They face competition from Dave Bautista for In the Lost Lands, Scott Eastwood for Alarum, and Jared Leto for Tron: Ares.

Perhaps most notably, the worst actress category features names that are rarely associated with the word "worst." Two women who have actual Academy Awards to their names—Natalie Portman and Michelle Yeoh—find themselves nominated alongside Ariana DeBose, Milla Jovovich, and Rebel Wilson.

Creative Categories & Humor#

The Razzies' signature humor is on full display in several creative categories. In a particularly inventive move, the voting body has nominated "all seven artificial dwarves" from the live-action Snow White remake in the worst supporting actor category.

The worst screen combo category also highlights the awards' playful nature, featuring nominations such as:

  • Ice Cube & His Zoom Camera (War of the Worlds)
  • The Weeknd & His Colossal Ego (Hurry Up Tomorrow)
  • James Corden & Rihanna (Smurfs)
  • Robert DeNiro & Robert DeNiro (The Alto Knights)

Behind the camera, notable nominations include The Russo Brothers—currently busy with Avengers: Doomsday—receiving a worst director nomination for Netflix's The Electric State.

Complete Nominee List#

The full spectrum of nominations for the 46th edition of the Razzie Awards covers multiple categories:

Worst Remake/Rip-off/Sequel: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025), Five Nights at Freddy's 2, Smurfs (2025), Snow White (2025), War of the Worlds (2025)

Worst Supporting Actress: Anna Chlumsky (Bride Hard), Ema Horvath (The Strangers: Chapter 2), Scarlet Rose Stallone (Gunslingers), Kacey Rohl (Star Trek: Section 31), Isis Valverde (Alarum)

Worst Supporting Actor: All Seven Artificial Dwarves (Snow White), Nicolas Cage (Gunslingers), Stephen Dorff (Bride Hard), Greg Kinnear (Off the Grid), Sylvester Stallone (Alarum)

Worst Director: Rich Lee (War of the Worlds), Olatunde Osunsanmi (Star Trek: Section 31), The Russo Brothers (The Electric State), Trey Edward Shults (Hurry Up Tomorrow), Marc Webb (Snow White)

Worst Screenplay: Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (The Electric State), Trey Edward Shults, Abel Tesfaye, Reza Fahim (Hurry Up Tomorrow), Erin Cressida Wilson and others (Snow White), Craig Sweeny, Bo Yeon Kim & Erika Lippoldt (Star Trek: Section 31), Kenny Golde and Marc Hyman (War of the Worlds)

Looking Ahead#

The 46th Golden Raspberry Awards nominations reflect a year of ambitious projects that ultimately fell short of critical or audience expectations. From high-profile remakes to star-driven vehicles, the list captures the diverse ways in which films can miss the mark.

With Ice Cube, Rachel Zegler, and The Weeknd leading the pack, the ceremony promises to be a memorable event. The winners will be announced as the awards season continues, providing a humorous counterpoint to the more serious accolades.
