Get ready for a cinematic roast like no other! The 2026 Razzie Awards have dropped their nominations, and the results are as hilarious as they are controversial. Leading the pack with six nods each are the live-action Snow White and Ice Cube’s War of the Worlds—two films that have left audiences scratching their heads. But here's where it gets controversial: The Electric State, Hurry Up Tomorrow, and Star Trek: Section 31 are also in the running for Worst Picture. Are these films truly the year’s biggest flops, or is the Razzies’ sense of humor just a bit too sharp? And this is the part most people miss: the Razzies aren’t just about bad movies—they’re a tongue-in-cheek celebration of Hollywood’s missteps, complete with categories like Worst Screen Combo and Worst Remake/Rip-Off/Sequel.
In the acting categories, Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye is up for Worst Actor for his performance in Hurry Up Tomorrow, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself. Is this a case of art imitating life, or life imitating bad art? He’s joined by heavyweights like Dave Bautista, Ice Cube, Scott Eastwood, and Jared Leto. On the flip side, the Worst Actress category features Ariana DeBose, Milla Jovovich, Natalie Portman, Rebel Wilson, and Michelle Yeoh. But let’s not forget the Worst Screen Combo nominees, which include the seven dwarfs from Snow White, James Corden and Rihanna in Smurfs, and Ice Cube and his Zoom camera in War of the Worlds. Seriously, who thought a Zoom camera could be a co-star?
The Razzies never shy away from sparking debate, and this year is no exception. Take the Worst Remake/Rip-Off/Sequel category, for instance. Snow White and War of the Worlds are both nominated, but is it fair to label these reimagined classics as outright failures? Or are they just victims of high expectations? And what about the Worst Screenplay category? From The Electric State’s adaptation of Simon Stalenhag’s novel to War of the Worlds’ take on H.G. Wells’ classic, these scripts have been called everything from ambitious to disastrous. But isn’t that the beauty of art—it’s all up for interpretation?
The winners (or should we say, losers?) will be revealed on March 14, but until then, let’s keep the conversation going. Do these films deserve their Razzie nominations, or is the awards show being too harsh? And more importantly, what does it say about Hollywood when even its biggest stars can’t escape the Razzies’ wrath? Sound off in the comments—we want to hear your take!
