It's a tricky one to call, but I'd have to say Nicholas Cage. He's so wooden he makes Pinocchio look real - I mean, seriously:

I was amused by your comment, Filmgoer. I don't see much cinema but I have read the name in reviews I suppose. Now at least I know what he looks like too.
Who do you rate as worst among the females?

Sandra Bullock. No-one comes close to how abysmal she is as an "actress".

Add to the list any singer that's made it big and decided to get into the movies.
Janet Jackson, Streisand, Jessica Simpson, male singers, etc.

Sorry, Rocco, have you ever heard of a gentleman named Frank Sinatra? And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Streisand have an Oscar?
I do however agree with Cage as about the worst actor out there, and however lovely she may be, Alba cannot emote to save her life. She just sits there with that sort of half smile and a dazed look.

In the category of Worst Male Actor in Hollywood, the nominations are:
(Far, far, far too many to list.)
In the category of Worst Female Actress in Hollywood, the nominations are:
(Again, far too many to list.)
It truly seems that there are NO truly believable actors/actresses in Hollywood any more (although I know that comment will probably spark others to start listing those who ARE.) Most of the "Greats" are either dead or completely overlooked by the studio heads who deem them as being "too old" for anything except maybe, possibly, a cameo.
Now, if we were going to look at Most Under-Used Actors/Actresses in Hollywood, my nomination for the Male category would have to be Jim Carey. He is a B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T!!!! actor who has a range so vast that the galaxy seems a bit small to contain it. But, as is most often the case, he has become streotyped as being a "funny man" and is, himself, overlooked when it comes to being concidered for an intense dramatic roll.
For the Most Under-Used Actresses category, I would have to say that this "honor" would have to go to Kirsten Dunst. I mean, c'mon, let's face it she was S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R in "Interview with a Vampire"!!!! She looked soooo sweeeet and innocent but she played Claudia with such fire and intensity that I found it hard to beileve she was just THAT convincing! Of course, now, she'll probably be forever known as Mary Jane Watson-Parker, living out the rest of her acting career waiting to be called and asked if she's still up for doing "Spider-man 20".

The thing about the Emmy's AND Oscars is that they are handed out by the actor's/actress's peers, not by the public at large. An actor/actress could be very popular among his/her peers, not have acting ability for crap, been able to deliver,essentially, a once-in-a-lifetime performance and---WHAM---they get an award. On the other hand, a relatively unknown actor/actress, who has talent coming out of his/her ears, consistently delivers believable performances time after time and gets---------nothing!
Of course, the public could demonstrate that it is little better in picking out talent; opting to go with the ones who exhibit the most glitz and glam instead of focusing on substance.
