Awards season is back! That means that nominees from one of the year’s biggest ceremonies have been announced. Yep, they’re for the 46th Annual Golden Raspberry award.
In recent years, the overwhelming majority of pictures coming out are now being certified as “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes. I take issue with this trend and think that we’ve been inundated with too many sequels, remakes and pictures. There are plenty of those featured in the nominations, reminding us that maybe we could all do with striving a bit harder to make stronger pictures.
Here is the official word from the Golden Raspberry Awards:
Among the 2026 titles competing for the $4.97 gold spray-painted Worst Picture Statuette are:
The $320 million production of a well-regarded graphic novel, that despite the highly touted talent involved, fell flat on originality, execution and heart – The Electric State
A vanity project that doesn’t move fast enough towards the ending – Hurry Up Tomorrow
A slow-paced unnecessary re-imagining of a classic, filled with drawn-out musical numbers, dopey CGI dwarfs, and enough mediocrity to leave the audience in a very unhappy place – Disney’s Snow White (2025)
A convoluted mess beaming its audience to a frontier that could finally bring this once inspiring franchised journey to a screeching halt – Star Trek: Section 31.
And if butchering an H.G. Wells classic by stringing together video chats, surveillance cams and FaceTime with panic attacks makes for a compelling film experience – please allow the robots to attack and get it over with! – War Of The Worlds (2025)
