“Section 31 Earns 5 Razzie Nominations: TrekMovie.com Reports”
Star Trek: Section 31, a streaming movie released in January 2025, has received five nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards, commonly known as the Razzies. These awards highlight the worst in film, and this year’s nominees exemplify the negative response to Section 31 from critics and audiences alike.
Overview of Star Trek: Section 31
The film features Michelle Yeoh, an Academy Award-winning actress, who reprises her role as former Emperor Georgiou. Despite the excitement surrounding its release, Section 31 has been criticized as a “convoluted mess,” prompting its selection for this year’s Razzies.
Razzie Nominations
- Total Nominations: 5
- Worst Picture: Competing against The Electric State, Hurry Up Tomorrow, Disney’s Snow White, and War of The Worlds.
- Worst Actress: Michelle Yeoh alongside Ariana DeBose, Milla Jovovich, Natalie Portman, and Rebel Wilson.

Industry Recognition
Despite its Razzie nominations, Section 31 also secured a nomination for the Golden Reel Awards, honoring its excellence in sound editing. The film is competing for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing among other nominees. The awards ceremony will take place in Los Angeles on March 8, 2026.
Historical Context of Razzies in the Star Trek Franchise
Although Section 31 has made a notable appearance in the Razzies, it does not hold the franchise record for most nominations. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was nominated for six Razzies in 1991, winning several dubious awards including Worst Picture.
The 46th Annual Razzie Awards will reveal the “winners” on March 14, 2026, ahead of the Oscars. With Section 31 garnering five nominations, it ties with Hurry Up Tomorrow, while Snow White and War of the Worlds lead with six nominations each.
Conclusion
The recognition of Star Trek: Section 31 at the Razzies highlights both its failures and the ongoing legacy of the Star Trek franchise within popular culture. As fans look toward the future of the series, the mixed response to this film serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in film production.
