The Top 10 Most Embarrassing Projects from the 2011 Oscar Nominees

The Huffington Post have come up with a list of the 10 most embarrassing projects that some of the nominees from the 2011 Oscars have been in. Take a look and see if you have seen any of them…

Christian Bale in ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’
I bet you didn’t know Christian Bale was in ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.’ Maybe that’s why he’s so angry all the time.

Michelle Williams on ‘Dawson’s Creek’
I get it, it’s where she got her start. But did anyone think Jen Lindley would end up becoming one of her generation’s most nuanced actors? Unfortunately we can’t say the same for James Van Der Beek.

Jeff Bridges in ‘Tron: Legacy’
It’s embarrassing enough that ‘True Grit’s Jeff Bridges was in the first ‘Tron’ 20 years ago, but he had to go and do it again?

Natalie Portman in ‘No Strings Attached’
If Natalie Portman loses the Best Actress Oscar, fingers will start pointing to this rom-com with Ashton Kutcher. There’s a reason why A.O. Scott calls her “the only Golden Globe-winning actress to simulate sex on screen with two former members of the cast of ‘That 70s Show.’”

James Franco on ‘General Hospital’
It’s really hard to fault James Franco for this since it’s all part of his larger performance art master plan.

Nicole Kidman in ‘Batman Forever’
It would have been fine if she played opposite Christian Bale’s Batman, but she got stuck with Val Kilmer.

Mark Ruffalo in ‘Rumor Has It…’
Before he was seducing Julianne Moore away from Annette Bening, Mark Ruffalo was playing opposite Jennifer Aniston in this movie that irresponsibly associates itself with The Graduate.

Amy Adams in ‘The Wedding Date’
In this movie that apparently came out in 2005, Amy Adams was billed under Debra Messing.

Javier Bardem in ‘Eat Pray Love’
Somehow I don’t think Javier Bardem’s immense acting skills landed him this role in Eat Pray Love.

Helena Bonham Carter in ‘Planet of the Apes’
When your husband is Tim Burton and you star in all of this movies, some of them are bound to be terrible.
