13 Outrageously Awful 2015 Performances That Deserve Razzies
8. Jamie Dornan - Fifty Shades Of Grey
The Role: Christian Grey, the much sought-after billionaire BDSM enthusiast part that originally went to Charlie Hunnam before he reconsidered his future career prospects and smartly bailed. Why It's So Awful: The problem here is that his on-screen lover, Dakota Johnson, clearly knows she's in a terrible movie and imbues her performance with a subtle degree of snark that probably made shooting it more tolerable, but Dornan plays it completely straight, like he's reciting Shakespeare. It doesn't help that his American accent is all over the place and he's forced to utter some of E.L. James' utterly atrocious source dialogue such as "Laters, baby", but even on the most basic level, audiences expecting to see some full-frontal nudity will be disappointed. So, his work here is dull, his accent doesn't work and he doesn't even properly get his kit off. What, then, was the point of it all? Unlike most entries on this list, he actually ended up Razzie-nominated for his work.
