10 Actors Whose Credibility Suffered The Most In 2015

8. Emma Stone

Hollywood loves Emma Stone; in their eyes, she can do no wrong. Until she can. And does. Which happened in 2015, by the way. Stone was subjected to a rather hefty backlash over her casting in Cameron Crowe's recent filmic travesty, Aloha, a movie that has no reason to exist and yet kind of just did anyway. The film, set in Hawaii - and co-starring Bradley Cooper - pegged Stone as a character who is "half-quarter Chinese and half-quarter Hawaiian." This was perceived as something of an ill-judged move, and prompted a big conversation about racial equality in Hollywood. It wasn't Stone's fault, exactly - Cameron Crowe later apologised for the blunder - but all of a sudden one of Hollywood's biggest actresses was the at the centre of a fairly sizeable controversy that consumed the internet for many weeks. And inevitably, it was a critical and commercial flop. Stone eventually expressed the opinion that she'd been "miscast." Later in the year, Stone starred opposite Joaquin Phoenix in middling Woody Allen flick Irrational Man - it received mixed reviews, and Stone's performance was deemed to be rather forgettable and uninspired. A long, long way from last year's Birdman, that's for sure.
