The 2014 RyMickey Awards - Worst Performance

While sometimes we find bad performances in good films, this year, the bottom rungs in the acting world inhabited the worst films of the year as well.

Worst Performances of 2014

(Dis)Honorable Mentions

Adewale Akinnouye-Adbaje - Pompeii

Annabelle Wallis - Annabelle

#5 - Arnold Schwarzenegger - Sabotage

Go back to politics...please...  (SoN)

#4 - Eva Green - White Bird in a Blizzard

Ms. Green has never been someone I've felt was super-talented as an actress, but she's laughably bad here.  Admittedly, her character is written as so un-human that Green may not be totally at fault, but since the film revolves most of the story around her, it's a big failure.  (SoN)

#3 - Kiefer Sutherland - Pompeii

Overacting to the nth degree.  'Nuff said.

#2 - Cameron Diaz - Annie

The character of Hannigan in all iterations of Annie is a bit of a sleaze, but Diaz decides to "sex it up" here and I can't believe that the director felt it would be watchable.  Grating and obnoxious, Diaz ruins two of the film's best songs and makes them unlistenable.  Also, congrats to Diaz for snagging a spot on this list two years in a row after last year's dismal performance in The Counselor!

#1 - Leslie Mann - The Other Woman

Grating, obnoxious, and painful to watch, Mann is just atrocious in The Other Woman.  At first, I was giving Mann the benefit of the doubt that the script was the problem, but Mann must also take the heat too as she fails to produce anything funny and her portrayal of her character is so immature that I could completely understand why her husband would cheat on her.
