Jon Voight
Jon Voight once was a very talented actor, and at the end of his career, he finished making himself paycheck. Yet he previously received the Best Actor Award in 1978 for his role in the Coming Home; war drama. And, let’s not neglect the fact that the Deer Hunter won the same year for Robert De Niro. Voight was merely good in the over-sentimental film.
Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson’s 2007 Best Supporting Actress performance in Dreamgirls remains one of the most head-scratching moments in recent Oscars history. It wasn’t a bad performance, but it wasn’t that good either. The entire film is focused on her singing ability, and she is told nothing about a dramatic performance. The more deserving Cate Blanchett, in Notes on a Scandal and Abigail Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine, gave her the nod.
