Ice Cube's War of the Worlds Wins Big at 2026 Razzie Awards

"War of the Worlds won Worst Picture, Worst Prequel, Remake Rip-Off or Sequel, and Worst Screenplay, while Ice Cube claimed Worst Actor and the film's director, Rich Lee, was awarded (?) Worst Director."

"The Razzies, traditionally handed out the Saturday before the Oscars, have always had a love-hate relationship with the industry. While the organization has faced controversy in years past for mocking 12-year-olds and its treatment of Bruce Willis, director Francis Ford Coppola was proud to be a three-time nominee, and winner of Worst Director, for 2024's Megalopolis."

"On a positive note, Kate Hudson's performance in Song Sung Blue earned the Razzie's Redeemer Award."

The 2025 Golden Raspberry Awards announced their winners for the worst films and performances of the year. Ice Cube's remake of War of the Worlds dominated the ceremony, winning Worst Picture, Worst Prequel/Remake/Sequel, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Actor for Ice Cube himself. Director Rich Lee received Worst Director for the film. Rebel Wilson won Worst Actress for Bride Hard, while Seven Artificial Dwarfs earned both Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo. Kate Hudson received the Razzie Redeemer Award for her performance in Song Sung Blue. The Razzies, traditionally held the Saturday before the Oscars, maintain a complex relationship with the film industry despite past controversies.
