To the surprise of no one, Disney’s live-action version of “Snow White” was nominated for the internet’s most notorious film awards in 2026.
The massive flop was nominated in six categories for the annual Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies), making it the most nominated film alongside Ice Cube’s “War of the Worlds.” Both films were nominated for “Worst Picture.”
“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,” the press release said of the nomination.
Somehow, activist actress Rachel Zegler managed to avoid being nominated for worst actress, despite many critics blaming her performances both on and off screen for contributing to the disaster. Besides Worst Picture, “Snow White” was nominated in the categories of Worst Remake, Supporting Actors, Screen Combo, Director, and Screenplay.
“Snow White” made just over $206 million worldwide, meaning it did not recoup its massive production budget. It has a 39% critics’ score and 69% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The New York Times said of the film: “Neither good enough to admire nor bad enough to joyfully skewer; its mediocrity is among its biggest bummers.”
“Presumably one of the reasons to bring actors into remakes of animated classics would be to add a warm-blooded pulse to these characters. Zegler manages that, but everyone else in ‘Snow White’ — mortal or CGI — is as stiff as could be,” said a critic from The Associated Press.
One of the main issues was Zegler, who played the lead, not only insulting Trump voters but also disparaging the source material for the movie she was starring in.
During a 2022 expo, Zegler called Prince Charming a “stalker,” as The Daily Wire previously reported.
“I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so. There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn’t do that this time,” she said at the time.
“We have a different approach to, what I’m sure a lot of people will assume is a love story, just because we cast a guy in the movie, Andrew Burnap, great dude,” she added. “It’s one of those things that I think everyone’s going to have their assumptions about what it’s going to be, but it’s really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful.”
At another point, Zegler said, “[Snow White is] not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love,” Zegler said in the clip. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.”
The Razzies were founded in 1981. Nominations are determined by a group of more than 1,200 voters, and anyone who pays the annual $40 fee or the lifetime membership fee of $500 can count themselves among the voting panel.
As always, the “winners” will be announced on the night before the Academy Awards, which this year falls on March 14.
