War of the worlds leads razzie nominations amid low rotten tomatoes score

The 2026 Razzie Awards nominations have been announced, with War of the Worlds topping the list for the anti-Oscars. The film's poor reception, evidenced by its 4% Rotten Tomatoes score, makes the dominance unsurprising. Disney's live-action Snow White also secured six nominations.

The Razzie Awards, often called the anti-Oscars, celebrate the year's worst films, and the 2026 nominations highlight some notable flops. War of the Worlds has dominated the list, earning multiple nods despite—or perhaps because of—its dismal critical reception. With a mere 4% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film was poised for such recognition, as observers note the lack of surprise in its Razzie haul.

Disney's live-action adaptation of Snow White fared similarly poorly in the eyes of the Razzies voters, picking up six nominations. This comes amid broader discussions on remake quality and studio decisions in Hollywood. The announcements, covered by GamesRadar+ on January 21, 2026, underscore the Razzies' role in spotlighting cinematic misfires.

While the full list of categories and other nominees remains detailed in official releases, these leading contenders set the tone for the ceremony, which pokes fun at industry excesses.
