Last year’s War of the Worlds – starring Ice Cube as a man who must save humanity from an alien invasion without leaving his desk – 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.”
