War of the Worlds, the 2025 sci-fi film starring Ice Cube, has been awarded Worst Picture of the Year at the Razzies.

Worst Picture was one of five award categories the film won, out of six nominations.

Ice Cube was named Worst Actor, while director Rich Lee earned Worst Director. The movie also took the honours for Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel and Worst Screenplay.

Organisers for the Razzies, AKA the Golden Raspberry Awards, noted, "War of the Worlds (the 2025 version) has been cemented in Razzie history as a near sweeper of our $4.97 (£3.75) trophy winner.

"Utterly destroying HG Wells' classic novel, director Rich Lee chose a goofy gimmick, hack dialogue and a particularly hilarious performance by its lead, Ice Cube, to seize 2025's biggest number of statues."

Additional winners at this year's awards include "all seven artificial dwarfs" from Disney's live-action Snow White, who collectively achieved the Worst Supporting Actor gong.

On a more positive note, Kate Hudson achieved the 2026 Razzie Redeemer Award for her Oscar-nominated portrayal of Claire Sardina in Song Sung Blue, after receiving less flattering distinctions by the Razzies in previous years.
