Yes, an arbitrary award granted by a collection of stifled old codgers PROVES (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) that she has talent. ;) :P

They did give "Best Picture" to Gladiator, remember.   ::)

Dim of the Yard

From my understanding, Tom Green also accepted his Razzie in person, but he used the opportunity to bitch out everybody at the Razzies.  Then again, when one thinks "Tom Green," the words "class act" don't exactly come to mind.

She's a fucking hack.

That's essentially what I was trying to say, but sometimes I get called out for being slightly ranty-bitchy, so I thought I'd try the calm explanation look on for size.   ;)

But yeah, she's a fucking hack. 

Right, as her Academy Award proves, she just doesn't have the chops. 

sorry, had to point that out.

Her sex symbol status doesn't take away from the fact that she can be a great actress at times (certainly not in Mr. and Mrs. smith though)

Yeah man, why believe people that have made movies all of their lives, what do they know?   :P

I will admit that they aren't infallible....hell, Chariots of Fire won an Oscar.

Paul Verhoven accepted his awards in peron for Worst Picture and Worst Director for Showgirls.

See, that's exactly my point.

Roughly 98% of all movies stink on hot fucking ice, so as far as I'm concerned, being "experienced" in the industry ABSOLUTELY disqualifies you from being able to judge quality. :P

But, still in all, I can't think a truly terrible performance from an actor being rewarded with an Oscar.  The closest I can get to that scenario was Julia Roberts winning for Erin Brockovich.  And the fact remains, Angelina did one hell of a job in Girl Interrupted.

Tripe

Well people often bring up Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny as an example of a performace that shouldn't have got an Oscar but did. But I say fie on that because she's scrumptious.  ;D

All this stuff is subjective......I have friends who rave about Michael Douglas in Wall Street.  I think that guy should have retired from movies 20 years ago, he looks like a shiveled up nutsack on a cold November morning.

To be fair, Wall Street was 21 years ago...

True, I probably could have said 35 years ago, he liked like hammered hell when he was on The Streets of San Francisco.

Dare I say I liked him in Romancing the Stone?  Not much else.  But that one.

I am trying to think of something of his that I did like...........and I can't think of anything.

I have yet to see Halle Berry in a role where I haven't thought any other actress could have done the role better.

Especially in the X-Men movies, where quite literally any other actress could have done the role better. 

Yeah, like any actress could just stand around and pretend to summon lightning.......

The Game was quite entertaining. Even with ol' nutsack in the starring role.

I really liked The Ghost and The Darkness.  Although, he wasn't really in it that much.
