I thought this could be interesting, as a twin to the other thread about greatest living actors without nominations. Who do you think is the least talented living actor/actress to have scored an Oscar nomination or even a win?

Gabourey Sidibe is a pretty terrible actress.

Almost all thespians who have been nominated are actually really good. I have to give that to the Academy.

I would say Gwyneth Paltrow is very one-note as an actor, although she is more interesting as a performer than she gets credit for.

Sylvester Stallone is not a good actor either and he’d probably be the first one to admit that.

Halle Berry is good but she has not been able to live up to her potential.

I have always found Kenneth Branagh lacking in the charisma department but he’s by no means a bad actor per se.

I’m also tempted to list Jean Dujardin here but I’m not actually all that familiar with his body of work. He might be a lot better than I think. Same with Roberto Benigni.

Jon Voight never impressed me but this could be a matter of personal taste rather than his actual talent.

I think Emma Stone is a great actress, so this doesn’t perfectly fit, but she did not deserve it for La La Land.  I was pretty disappointed in the Academy for that one last year.

Would’ve preferred Ruth Negga or Taraji P Henson.

I have to disagree. He was the best in his category by far last year.

He’s still alive? Is he hiding out with Elvis and Tupac and Biggie in a Death Becomes Her type of situation? 😉

I have to say Gwyneth Paltrow. Typical case in which the academy wants to launch an actress career by awarding an Oscar. Ex: Emma Stone/ Jeniffer Lawrence. Meh.
