At the 46th awards ceremony held on 14/3, the film received two accolades related to the group of seven dwarfs. According to Variety, these results reflect audience reactions to the live-action adaptation of the famous fairy tale. Specifically, the computer-generated imagery (CGI) for the dwarfs sparked considerable debate, deemed unconvincing compared to their animated counterparts.
Directed by Marc Webb, the film's narrative is based on the original Grimm fairy tale, telling the story of Princess Snow White (Rachel Zegler), who is orphaned. As she grows up, she lives with her stepmother, Evil Queen (Gal Gadot), who later plots to harm her.
The "Snow White" script portrays a princess who is strong and actively seeks her own happiness. Despite creative efforts, the plot's execution was unengaging. The New York Post noted that while the original animated version was a milestone in the development of animation, this new adaptation felt bland and lacked a valuable message. The production team transformed the classic story into an adventure, incorporating feminist elements, but this motif is common in many projects.
Lead actress Rachel Zegler received negative feedback from audiences, partly due to her Latin descent, as she was cast as Snow White—a character traditionally known for her "skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony". The screenwriters altered this detail by setting the princess's birth during a snowstorm, inspiring her parents to name her. However, fans were dissatisfied with the producers' choice, believing the new version "ruined the character's image". Additionally, the supporting characters served merely as background, lacking significant screen time or character development.

In other categories, "War of the Worlds" was the most frequently mentioned film, taking home awards for worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay, worst remake or sequel, and worst actor for Ice Cube. Rebel Wilson won worst actress for her role in the action-comedy film "Bride Hard".
A notable category is the Razzie Redeemer Award, which honors artists previously nominated for Razzies who later made impressive comebacks. This year, Kate Hudson was the recipient thanks to her performance in the film "Song Sung Blue", a role that earned her an Academy Award nomination for best actress. Previously, Hudson had been nominated for Razzies for "My Best Friend's Girl" (2008), "Mother's Day" (2016), and "Music" (2021).
The Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, are an annual award established in 1981 to mock the year's worst films and performances. Members pay a fee to vote, though the organizers do not require them to watch all nominated films. Historically, stars like Bill Cosby, Sandra Bullock, and Halle Berry have personally accepted their awards.
According to a representative from the organizing committee, over 1,100 film enthusiasts, critics, and journalists from the US and 20 countries voted for this year's nominees. The worst picture award is a gold-plated trophy valued at USD 4.97 (130,000 VND). Last year, "Madame Web" was named in this category.
