The 46th Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, were held on March 14, 2026, to 'honor' the worst in film from the previous year. The ceremony took place at the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

The big 'winner' of the night was the sci-fi action film 'War of the Worlds,' a modern surveillance industry take on the H.G. Wells novel. It received five awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Actor for Ice Cube, Worst Director for R. Michael Givens, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel.

The Razzies are a parody award show created in 1981, traditionally held the night before the Academy Awards. This year's ceremony was notably scaled back, with winners announced in a pre-recorded segment lasting under five minutes, a departure from the usual live event.

Other notable 'winners' included Megan Fox, who was named Worst Actress for her role in 'Johnny & Clyde,' and Sylvester Stallone, who received the Razzie Redeemer Award for his work in the television series 'Tulsa King.'
