10 Actors Who Made A Terrible Movie Right After Winning An Oscar

7. Daniel Day-Lewis - Nine (2009)

Won An Oscar For: There Will Be Blood (2007) Daniel Day-Lewis has received more Academy Awards for Best Actor than anyone else on the planet; he's such a consistently wonderful performer - and one who appears to choose his projects with such care - that it's hard to imagine him giving a bad performance. And yet it did happen, people, right after he won his second Oscar for There Will Be Blood no less. Directed by Rob Marshall, whose film adaptation of the musical Chicago won an non-deserving Oscar for Best Picture back in 2003, Nine is adapted from the musical of the same name, which - in itself - was inspired by Federico Fellini's iconic comedy-drama 8½. Day-Lewis plays the lead in the film, an Italian director named Guido Contini who is suffering from writer's block - and, like the movie itself, he's bloody awful. Nine is the film that totally dispels the myth that Daniel Day-Lewis is capable of delivering all performances perfectly; renowned for his accent work, here his version of an Italian is shambolic as hell. And he never looks comfortable in the role, rendering his character as overblown and entirely insufferable. A tragic follow-up to that second Oscar win, this.
