Every year, one day before the prestigious Oscars, all of Hollywood holds its breath and hopes that the film or role they are in will not be named at the Golden Raspberry Awards (English name is Razzies) - the annual award that "honors" the worst actors, films and directors.
Throughout the 43-year history of the Golden Raspberry Awards, famous names like Tom Hanks, Al Pacino or Leonardo DiCaprio... have also been mentioned, showing that no matter how talented an actor is, there will still be low points in their career.
Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks is considered a living legend of world cinema. His classic roles in Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away and The Green Mile have captured the hearts of movie lovers for decades.
He also won two Best Actor Oscars for his roles in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump.
Yet in 2023, Tom Hanks' name was announced in two categories of the Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Couple for his role as Colonel Tom Parker in the 2022 biopic about music legend Elvis.
Another irony is that the Elvis movie itself isn't bad and was nominated for eight Oscars at the 2023 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Tom Hanks's co-star in Catch Me If You Can also did not escape the bitter raspberry.
However, unlike his older colleague, Leonardo DiCaprio received the Golden Raspberry Award for one of the first major roles of his career.
Specifically, Leonardo DiCaprio received the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor for his role as King Louis XIV in the 1998 film The Man in the Iron Mask.
At this time, Leonardo DiCaprio was only 24 years old.
This Golden Raspberry Award can also be considered a bad omen in Leonardo DiCaprio's acting career, as he often missed the Oscar many years later despite being continuously nominated.
It wasn't until 2016 that Leonardo DiCaprio received the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in The Revenant.
Jon Voight
Jon Voight is the latest "member" in the list of actors who have both won an Oscar and been "hit" by a Golden Raspberry Award, as he just received the Worst Actor award on March 9.
Jon Voight is a Hollywood veteran who has just returned to acting at the age of 85, after 9 years of not acting.
Ironically, the film Mercy (2023) brought him the first Golden Raspberry Award of his career.
Most mainstream audiences know Jon Voight better as the father of actress Angelina Jolie, but he actually had his heyday on the silver screen in the 1970s.
Jon Voight was nominated four times and won one Best Actor Oscar for Coming Home (1978).
Additionally, Jon Voight has also been nominated ten times and won four Golden Globe Awards throughout his career.
Sandra Bullock
On this list, perhaps the case of Sandra Bullock is the most classic.
While most actors would not appear at the Golden Raspberry Awards because it was obvious that the awards were tarnishing their acting careers, actress Sandra Bullock confidently walked up to the stage to accept her award and give her speech.
She held up the Golden Raspberry for Worst Actress for her role in All about Steve (2010), and challenged audiences to rewatch All about Steve.
Just the next day, she took home the Best Actress award at the 82nd Academy Awards for her role in The Blind Side.
The event shocked Hollywood at that time.
Jared Leto
Compared to the above actors, Jared Leto is a rather "strange" case. His acting talent in films like Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody is undeniable.
He also won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the film Dallas Buyers Club.
However, Jared Leto sometimes chooses strange roles, and at the same time sends the audience performances that can be considered "cinematic disasters".
The most famous of these roles is Joker in Suicide Squad (2016) or most recently Morbius.
This acting habit brought actor Jared Leto 2 Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Supporting Actor for his role as Paolo Gucci in House of Gucci; Worst Leading Actor for his role as Morbius in the Marvel movie of the same name.
