Ahead of Oscars 2026, the worst film of 2026 at Razzle Awards goes to War of the World: Check full winner list

Controversial film, War of the Worlds has been named as the Worst film of 2025, as per the 46th annual Razzie Awards on Saturday.

Worst film of 2025

The American sci-fi film, inspired by H.G. Wells’ 1898 novel, dominated the parody awards show list. It fetched the dishonours across categories, including worst picture, worst screenplay, worst remake, worst actor and worst director.

The Razzies said the film “utterly destroyed H.G. Wells’ classic novel.”

"Director Rich Lee (maybe inspired by Ed Wood) chose a goofy gimmick, hack dialogue, and a particularly hilarious performance by its lead, Ice Cube, to seize 2025’s biggest number of statues," it added.

Ice Cube beat out Abel “The Weeknd”, Tesfaye for Hurry Up Tomorrow, Dave Bautista for In the Lost Lands, Scott Eastwood for Alarum and Jared Leto for Tron: Ares in the worst actor category.

What is Razzie Awards

For the unversed, The Razzies is Hollywood’s long-running spoof of the Oscars. “Every year, the Golden Raspberry Awards (a.k.a. the Razzies) honor the “worst” in contemporary cinema. Yet in doing so, they have often inadvertently shed light on films so out-there, so uncompromising, so beyond the bounds of accepted “good” taste that they demand attention,” reads the official website.

Worst actress

This year, Rebel Wilson became the worst actress for her role in the action-comedy Bride Hard.

Worst supporting actress and actor

Scarlet Rose Stallone named the worst supporting actress for her performance in the action film Gunslingers.

The seven dwarfs from the live-action remake, Snow White, were named as the worst supporting actors and worst screen. “It cost a fortune and lost a fortune, perhaps cursed by Walt himself for having ignored his dying wish for it never to be remade,” the Razzies commented in their announcement.

The Razzies also gave Kate Hudson the “Redeemer Award” for her Oscar-nominated performance in Song Sung Blue. Hudson has previously received several acting nods at Razzie throughout her career for films like My Best Friend’s Girl (2008), Mother’s Day (2016) and Music (2021).
