The Nominees For the Worst Movie of the Year Are Here and honestly who cares

🚨 THE RAZZIE NOMINEES ARE HERE! 🚨 Cinephiles, grab your barf bags and prepare for a cinematic journey so terrible, it might just redefine the concept of “watching paint dry” as a thrilling alternative. 🎨 It’s that time of year again, where the Razzie Awards remind us that for every masterpiece, there is a dumpster fire lurking in the shadows, waiting to burn our retinas and insult our intelligence. The 46th annual celebration of cinematic failure has arrived, serving up a smorgasbord of silver screen disasters that prove Hollywood’s creative bankruptcy is alive and well. 💸📉

Every spring, just before the Oscars pat themselves on the back for three-hour speeches about art, the Razzies swoop in to remind us that money can’t buy talent. Sure, the Razzies are the de facto brand name in bad movie awards—mostly because they’ve been doing this for 46 years and refuse to go away, much like the lingering smell of burnt microwave popcorn. They are the jury of tastelessness we didn’t ask for but desperately need. 🍿⚖️

And this year’s nominees? Oh, they are a “solid” batch. By “solid,” I mean a dense, immovable mass of failure. In a shocking twist that absolutely no one saw coming, all five nominees for Worst Film—The Electric State, Hurry Up Tomorrow, Snow White, Star Trek: Section 31, and War of The Worlds—managed to crash and burn so hard they appeared on ScreenCrush’s own list of the worst movies of the year. It’s like a cosmic alignment of incompetence. (War of the Worlds was their #1 pick, because apparently, nothing says “cinema” like watching Tom Cruise run away from tripods for two hours… again? Wait, no, this is the one with the pop star, right? Who knows, who cares. 🤷‍♂️)

War of The Worlds and the latest live-action Snow White—a movie absolutely nobody clamored for—led the pack with six nominations each. Hot on their heels is The Weeknd’s bio-musical Hurry Up Tomorrow, which secured five nominations. Honestly, I don’t love all the picks. The Razzies’ inevitable “cutesy” choices, like nominating “The Weeknd & His Colossal Ego” for “Worst Screen Combo,” feel lazy. It’s low-hanging fruit! We get it, the guy has a massive ego. Find an actually terrible on-screen duo! Two rocks banging together in The Electric State had more chemistry. 🪨💔

Here is the full, unholy list of Razzie nominees for 2026. The winners will be announced in Los Angeles the day before the Academy Awards, ensuring maximum overlap in the news cycle (and maximum saltiness from A-listers who pretended not to care). 🧂

WORST PICTURE
The Electric State (A film that probably cost more than the GDP of a small country to look like a rejected screensaver.)
Hurry Up Tomorrow (The Weeknd’s cry for help, projected in 4K.)
Disney’s Snow White (Where the dwarfs were likely replaced by CGI interns.)
Star Trek: Section 31 (Boldly going where no franchise has dared to go: straight to the bargain bin.)
War Of The Worlds (Because if at first you don’t succeed, reboot, reboot again, and then fail spectacularly.)

WORST ACTOR
Dave Bautista, In The Lost Lands (Tearing off his shirt didn’t save this one.)
Ice Cube, War of The Worlds (Turning “Welcome to the Jungle” into “Welcome to the Garbage.”)
Scott Eastwood, Alarum (Genetics can only get you so far, Scott.)
Jared Leto, Tron: Ares (Method acting his way into our nightmares once again.)
Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, Hurry Up Tomorrow (Proving that vocals don’t automatically translate to acting chops. 😬)

WORST ACTRESS
Ariana DeBose, Love Hurts (Dancing in the rain is fun; acting in this wasn’t.)
Milla Jovovich, In The Lost Lands (Resident Evil called, it wants its dignity back.)
Natalie Portman, Fountain Of Youth (When an Oscar winner needs to pay for a new pool.)
Rebel Wilson, Bride Hard (Rebel Wilson plays Rebel Wilson in a dress.)
Michele Yeoh, Star Trek: Section 31 (Winning an Oscar just to end up here is a plot twist even M. Night Shyamalan couldn’t predict.)

WORST REMAKE/RIP-OFF/SEQUEL
I Know What You Did Last Summer (We know what you did: you remade a bad movie.)
Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 (Jumpscares replaced the script.)
Smurfs (Because the world needed more blue pixels.)
Snow White (The evil queen wasn’t the villain; the writer was.)
War of The Worlds (Third time’s the charm? Nope.)

WORST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Anna Chlumsky, Bride Hard (Watching this is the real struggle.)
Ema Horvath, The Strangers: Chapter 2 (Chapter 2 of “Why are we still doing this?”)
Scarlet Rose Stallone, Gunslingers (Nepotism is a pathway to many abilities some consider… unnatural.)
Kacey Rohl, Star Trek: Section 31 (Lost in space.)
Isis Valverde, Alarum (Who? Exactly.)

WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR
All Seven Artificial Dwarfs, Snow White (The CGI is so bad it loops back around to being terrifying.)
Nicolas Cage, Gunslingers (Nicolas Cage being Nicolas Cage in a movie nobody saw.)
Stephen Dorff, Bride Hard (Doing the best he can with… whatever that script was.)
Greg Kinnear, Off the Grid (Greg, honey, read the contract next time.)
Sylvester Stallone, Alarum (Rocky wouldn’t have thrown in the towel, but maybe he should have.)

WORST SCREEN COMBO
All Seven Dwarfs, Snow White (They look like uncanny valley residents on a budget.)
James Corden & Rihanna, Smurfs (A duo that screams “My agent hates me.”)
Ice Cube & His Zoom Camera, War of The Worlds (The camera did more acting than the cast.)
Robert De Niro & Robert De Niro (as Frank & Vito), The Alto Knights (De Niro playing two roles: one for the paycheck, one for the nap.)
The Weeknd & His Colossal Ego, Hurry Up Tomorrow (This one feels personal. 🎤💅)

WORST DIRECTOR
Rich Lee, War of The Worlds (Directing traffic is easier than directing this.)
Olatunde Osunsanmi, Star Trek: Section 31 (To boldly go where no director should go.)
The Russo Brothers, The Electric State (Remember when they made good movies? Yeah, neither do we.)
Trey Edward Shults, Hurry Up Tomorrow (Ending the movie couldn’t come soon enough.)
Marc Webb, Snow White (500 Days of Summer, 500 million dollars of loss.)

WORST SCREENPLAY
The Electric State (Written by a bot? Possibly.)
Hurry Up Tomorrow (The dialogue is just song lyrics poorly pasted into scenes.)
Snow White (“Mirror, mirror on the wall… who wrote this at all?”)
Star Trek: Section 31 (The prime directive is to put the script in the shredder.)
War Of The Worlds (Aliens invade, plot leaves.)

So there you have it. A lineup of films that serve as a cautionary tale: just because you *can* make a movie, doesn’t mean you *should*. Grab your gold-plated raspberry 🍇 and let the roast begin! 🎥🔥
