Razzies 2026: Ice Cube's War of the Worlds sweeps
Share this @internewscast.com

Ice Cube took home the award for worst actor at this year’s Golden Raspberry Awards for his role in “War of the Worlds,” a film that also snagged the title of worst picture.

Popularly known as the Razzies, this tongue-in-cheek ceremony spotlights the least impressive films and performances each year. It unfolds on March 14, just a day before the much-celebrated Academy Awards.

“War of the Worlds” faced a harsh critique, collecting five embarrassing awards in total. Ice Cube outshone other contenders, including Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye, to claim the worst actor title.

The Weeknd was nominated for his part in “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” a film where he portrays a semi-fictional version of himself, complementing his album of the same name.

Other nominees for worst actor included Dave Bautista for his role in the George R.R. Martin adaptation “In the Lost Lands,” Jared Leto for “Tron: Ares,” and Scott Eastwood for “Alarum,” an action flick featuring him alongside Sylvester Stallone.

Nevertheless, Ice Cube led the nominations with “War of the Worlds,” which also triumphed in the categories of worst director, worst screenplay, and worst prequel, remake, rip-off, or sequel.

War of the Worlds director Rich Lee triumphed over a category that included Marc Webb, who helmed the live-action Snow White remake starring Rachel Zegler.

Their competitors were Joe and Anthony Russo for The Electric State, Trey Edward Shults for Hurry Up Tomorrow and Olatunde Osunsanmi for Star Trek: Section 31.

Meanwhile Kenny Golde and Marc Hyman were given the worst screenplay gong for War of the Worlds, ahead of the Snow White script by ‘Erin Cressida Wilson and a bunch of others too numerous to mention,’ as well as the scripts for The Electric State, Hurry Up Tomorrow, War of the Worlds and Star Trek: Section 31.

For worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel, War of the Worlds beat Snow White, Smurfs, the new I Know What You Did Last Summer film and Five Nights at Freddys 2.

Snow White was able to snag two dubious honors – worst screen combo and worst supporting actor, both given to ‘all seven artificial dwarfs’ following a years-long increasingly bizarre back-and-forth controversy over the characters.

Other contenders for worst screen combo were Ice Cube and his zoom camera in War of the Worlds, James Corden and Rihanna in Smurfs, Robert De Niro’s dual role in The Alto Knights and The Weeknd ‘and his colossal ego’ in Hurry Up Tomorrow.

For worst supporting actor, the dwarfs won against Nicolas Cage for Gunslingers, Sylvester Stallone for Alarum, Stephen Dorff for Bride Hard and Greg Kinnear for an action movie called Off the Grid that had Josh Duhamel in the lead role.

Rebel Wilson won worst actress for her action comedy Bride Hard, besting such talent as Resident Evil icon Milla Jovovich for In the Lost Lands.

Wilson’s competition for that gong included three Oscar winners – Zegler’s West Side Story co-star Ariana DuBose for the action comedy Love Hurts, Natalie Portman for the Guy Ritchie caper Fountain of Youth and Michelle Yeoh for Star Trek: Section 31. 

Although Sylvester Stallone was not named worst supporting actor, his daughter Scarlett Rose did win worst supporting actress for her turn in Gunslingers. 

She beat Veep star Anna Chlumsky for Bride Hard, Ema Horvath for The Strangers: Chapter 2, Kacey Rohl for Star Trek: Section 31 and Isis Valverde for Alarum.

The Razzie Redeemer Award – given for the bright spot in an otherwise dismal project – was bequeathed to Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue, a picture for which she is also nominated for best actress at the Oscars on Sunday.
