Marion Cotillard in The Dark Knight Rises. She should have played Catwoman in my opinion.

Barbra Streisand, Blythe Danner & Robert DeNiro – all those horrid Focker movies.

Robert DeNiro – with the exception of Silver Linings Playbook & City by the Sea, every movie he made after Wa the Dog.

Dustin Hoffman – Rain Man
Tom Hanks – Forrest Gump
Daniel Day-Lewis – Gangs of New York
Shirley MacLaine – Bernie
Warren Beatty – Town & Country
Woody Allen – Café Society (his very bored-sounding voice over narration was horrible)

Bette Midler – Jinxed
Tom Cruise – every film where he carries some kind of a gun

He’s not an acclaimed ACTOR.

Jennifer Lawrence in Joy. I don’t think she’s a good actress, but even for her that was very amateurish.

I know people are going to hate me for this… but I really don’t like Leonardo dicaprio in The Revanant. I thought it was a hollow performance in a hollies movie.

Woody Allen is acclaimed for his writing and directing, not acting. If you disagree, please tell me when did he get praised for his acting chops.

Jennifer Lawrence in about anything sans The Burning Plain, The Poker House and Winter’s Bone.

Meryl Streep in about anything made after 2006 sans It’s Complicated and Florence Foster Jenkins.

But absolute winner is Marion Cotillard in The Dark Knight Rises. Her lack of at least Razzie nomination for it is a proof how useless Razzies are.

Thank God I wasn’t the only one who thought that Marion Cotillard was awful in Dark Knight Rises.

Meryl Streep – Stuck on You
Marilyn Monroe – There’s No Business Like Show Business
Ingrid Bergman – Anastasia
Jodie Foster – Maverick
Brad Pitt – Seven Years in Tibet
Cary Grant – She Done Him Wrong

Just came across this recent video of my girl Marion Cotillard talking about that infamous scene in Dark Knight Rises while doing press for Allied in France. You can see in her eyes that it still bothers her, which is how every great actress should react. Link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=FQS0y95yAL0
