20 Most Annoying Movie Characters Since 2000
12. Grace Stewart
Portrayed By: Nicole Kidman
Appeared In: The Others
Kidman's frantic stares can either work amazingly (like in Stoker) or soon have you want to outdo her in a staring competition, a'la The Others. The melodramatic "mommy" who conveniently forgets that she shot her kids in the face was unlikable even before you found out she was the ultimate villain in the tale.
Presumably you were meant to sympathize with the character, but no one ever really felt sorry for Grace, only for her kids having to put up with her boozing and hysterics. The film had a great twist courtesy of a M. Night Shyamalan-esque plot and some kids you didn't actually hate, it is just a shame that mother dearest was a complete bitch.
