10 Actors Who Suffered The Most In 2016
2. Matthew McConaughey
It looks like 2016 was the year the McConaissance officially came to an end. After a few years of being consistently awesome in great movies and TV shows, all of his Oscar-baiting work this year fell consistently flat.
First was Sea Of Trees, which was a great cure for insomnia, but not much of a movie. It was actually finished in 2015, but after being panned in Cannes it was delayed and then quietly released on DVD in 2016. Then came Free State Of Jones, which was based on an inspirational true life story and practically came with an Oscar guaranteed.
Despite giving a great performance the movie did him no favours, getting middling reviews and only grossing half its budget back. Finally, he provided a voice for Kubo And The Two Strings, a movie that got strong reviews but couldn’t turn the acclaim into box office dollars.
