9. Roberto Benigni
Even if you've never actually seen Roberto Benigni in the movie that won him his Oscar, you've probably see the iconic poster or the DVD artwork at some point, which has him looking all happy in a hat and stuff. The movie,
Life Is Beautiful, was set around the time of the holocaust, and Benigni won, like, eighty-seven awards for his performance, all of which were greatly deserved - it's a great performance. But he also used his win as an excuse to socialise endlessly. No problem with that, of course, but he ended up "having a laugh" for near-on two years. When Benigni decided to return to the realms of acting, he did so with the truly terrible movies
Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar and
Pinocchio, the second of which earned him a Razzie for Worst Actor. What a way to fall. Since
Life Is Beautiful, in fact, Benigni has made a mere five movies, none of which are very good at all. I don't know what happened, exactly - maybe the guy just felt like it was impossible to follow in the footsteps of his Oscar-winning performance and decided to make bad movies for "ironic purposes." Or, you know, maybe not that. At all.
