Everyone knows that in Hollywood the most prestigious award for contribution to the film industry is the Oscar, but there is also an anti-award called the Golden Raspberry. This award is given annually by cinematographers the day before the Oscars for the most unsuccessful film works. One of the main nominations is "Worst Actor".

Golden Raspberry has been in existence for thirty-five years since 1981. It's hard to imagine, but during this time, many talented actors received the title of "Worst Actor".

"Golden Raspberry" and worst actors

But not all nominees get it. For example, these actors were contenders for the Golden Raspberry statuette many times, but they never received it:

• Tom Cruise, Huba Gooding, Al Pacino, Robert Pattinson - 2x;
• 3 times - Steven Seagal and Keanu Reeves;
• The immortal terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger was nominated 4 times;
• and Nicolas Cage has been nominated 5 times.

But the names of those who were in the nomination twice, one of which is stillPrize winners: Rob Schneider, Prince, Christopher Atkins, Mark Myers, Andrew Dice Clay.

You can list other contenders for the title of "Worst Actor", who earned a hit in the nomination 3 times, but received the Golden Raspberry statuettes 1 time:

• Bruce Willis in 1998 (for "Mercury in Peril", "Armageddon", "Siege");
• Ben Affleck in 2003 for three films: "Gigli", "Hour of Reckoning" and "Daredevil";
• Burt Reynolds ("Cop and a Half", 1993);
• Ashton Kutcher ("Valentine's Day" and "Killers" - 2010).

Following are those who were nominated four times, but received one award - these are John Travolta and Eddie Murphy. In 2001, Travolta played his worst roles in two films, Lucky Numbers and Battlefield: Earth. And in 2007, thanks to his role in the film Norbit's Tricks, he was content with Eddie Murphy's victory in the named nomination.

Twice Pauly Shore was the worst actor in The Jury and Bio-House, for which he received an anti-award twice.

Kevin Costner has been nominated 4 times and won awards 3 times in 1991, 1994 and 1997 for his roles in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Wyatt Earp and The Postman respectively.

Adam Sandler has been nominated seven times and also won the Golden Raspberry Award 3 times.

But all the brothers were overtaken by the resilient Rocky - Sylvester Stallone - who is rightfully called "The Worst Actor in History". He has 4 anti-awards and as many as 10 jubilee nominations in his arsenal.

Worst Actor and Most Overrated Actor of 2015

According to the results of 2015, the sensational, scandalous and rather controversial film "Fifty Shades of Grey" became the worst film of the year. This is a specific love story of a simple and timid girl Anesteisha and a self-confident handsome businessman - Christian. Jamie Dornan, who played the male lead, won the award for the worst actor of the year.

But the actor who received a fee significantly exceeding the box office for the film was none other than the favorite of all women - the handsome Johnny Depp. The list also includes Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, Will Farrell, Christian Bale, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Liam Neeson, Ben Affleck and Denzel Washington.

Peter Jackson named the worst actor

The director of the famous film epic "The Lord of the Rings" did not nominate anti-award nominees, but he himself named the worst actor. It was Jake Gyllenhall. The actor failed in the audition and did not become a cinematic Frodo, for which Jackson called him a “hipster from Brooklyn”, however, his track record includes successful works such as October Sky, Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, Everest, "Zodiac" and others.

The worst Russian actors

In Russia, they keep up with their Western partners and came up with their own comic award "Golden Woodpecker", which is awarded on April Fool's Day - April 1.

In 2009, applicants for the "woodpecker" were Evgeny Tsyganov - for "Night of the Fighter", former KVN-schik Oleg Vereshchagin for his role in the 2nd part of "The Best Film" and Pavel Derevyanko forfilm "At the Sea".

But in 2010, Sergei Krapiventsev received the title of worst actor for his leading role in the film "Devil's Flower".

The Russian audience is also extremely negative about modern versions of their favorite Soviet films, expressing their dissatisfaction with the actors who played the main roles in them:

• to singer Ivan Dorn for the film "Merry Fellows";
• Ville Haapasalo for Gas Station Queen 2;
• To Alexei Buldakov for his role in "The Man from Boulevard des Capucines";
• Vladimir Zelensky for his role in Office Romance. Our time”;
• Sergey Bezrukov, according to the audience, made a mistake by starring in remakes of such films as “The Irony of Fate. Continuation”, “Carnival night. 50 years later" and "Gentlemen, good luck!".
