10. Renee Zellweger
Renee Zellweger shot to universal fame when she decided to put on weight and talk in a British accent for
Bridget Jones' Diary, and everyone agreed that - against the odds, perhaps - she did a pretty good job with that. A couple of years later, she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the somewhat overrated
Cold Mountain, in which she played Ruby Thewes, a woman who "sorts out a farm" in the mid-19th century. Sadly, that was about the last time anybody really seemed to care about anything Renee Zellweger was doing. To be fair, she made a few good movies after that:
Cinderella Man and
Miss Potter, to name two (there are only two). But then, I think, people started getting a little bit annoyed with Renee Zellweger, because there's something kind of annoying about her, isn't there? Content with hiding behind her voice for a few animated movies instead, Zellweger slowly began to make bad movie after bad movie. And now we're in the present, where her last ventures were the Godawful
Case 39 and
My Own Love Song. Bizarrely, she hasn't made a movie in three years.
