Last year's War of the Worlds β starring Ice Cube as a man who must save humanity from an alien invasion without leaving his desk β has swept the board at this year's Razzie Awards, for the worst films of 2025. As Hollywood gears up to honour the year's best films at the Oscars on Sunday, the Prime Video film received five unwanted accolades - worst picture, worst actor, worst director, worst screenplay and worst remake. The Razzies said it had become "a cult hate-watch classic almost immediately". A statement said: "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." Meanwhile, Rebel Wilson won worst actress for "her not-quite-believable performance as an action hero in Bride Hard with weaponised curling irons". Scarlet Rose Stallone, daughter of veteran actor Sylvester, was named worst supporting actress for Western film Gunslingers. The seven computer-generated dwarfs from Disney's 2025 remake of Snow White shared the worst supporting actor award, as well as worst screen combo. There was better news for Kate Hudson, who received the "Razzie redeemer award" - for someone who has redeemed themselves after being a Razzies favourite in the past. Hudson has previously been nominated for three Razzies - for Music, Mother's Day and My Best Friend's Girl - but is now earning more positive recognition after being nominated for an Oscar for Song Sung Blue this year. The Razzie winners in full: Pavel Talankin's film Mr Nobody Against Putin has already won a Bafta, and is now competing for an Oscar. The event, in its fifth year, is hailed a success after more than 80 films were shown in nine days. Screenwriter, producer and author Chris Chibnall is curating a film festival in Bridport. From sushi to gold-dusted chocolate statuettes, a feast will be served at the Oscars after party on Sunday. The film-maker will write and direct The Popinjay Cavalier, "a rambunctious comedy" set in 1830s Europe.
