	A few things. 1. Yes, Bob Dylan has an Oscar (for a song). And Danny DeVito was technically nominated once as a producer. 2. No, no one thinks, say, Cedric The Entertainer or Stephen Colbert is a great dramatic actor, but in a comedy such as the ones listed above, they were certainly touted as valued participants. 3. I'm sure you all like some of these (I like one or two, but not most, heh). Feel free to explain as much below. The quiz is about movies with star-studded casts that were poorly reviewed. Whether or not they were actually bad is a different discussion. 4. The moral of this quiz is: if you hire good actors but don't write a good script (or choose a good director, etc), you can end up with a terrible freakin' movie. Case in point, "All The King's Men" might have the best cast up there but it might also be the worst movie, too. Enjoy!

	Oh, and yes, all the movies are recent because RT scores only are reliable for the last decade or so. Otherwise you'd see "North" and other such things on here.

	Great quiz. I'd add Nine to the list: six Oscar winners, one nominee and a 37% RT rating.

	And the Annette Bening film is from 2006.

	Justinpbg:	Mar 8th, 2012 at 02:46 GMT		2 points
	I thought it was, too, but it was listed as such online. Weird. Will fix. Ah, forgot "Nine." Taking off "Be Cool."

	This is a good quiz, but just on your above comments just because an actor is popular doesn't mean they make good movies, or just because they've been nominated for an Oscar doesn't mean all their movies are going to be great. If you look at RT you will some of these actors (Witherspoon, Vaughn, Walken, Sorvino, Kidman for example) only about a third of their films get fresh ratings meaning they have far more misses than they've had hits. In the case of Nicolas Cage these days, if I see him in the cast I just assume it's going to be a bad movie. Some of these actors have become really washed up. A good analysis though and good quiz.

	Well yeah, but at the time that Gone in 60 Seconds came out, he wasn't the Wicker Man/Ghost Rider dude yet. Trust, I agree with you, heh. That was the point, that good actors often make bad movies.

	dummo:	Mar 8th, 2012 at 16:05 GMT		1 point
	Yeah I agree mate. My point was really some so called 'good actors' make more bad movies than they do good movies ;). It's sad seeing the kind of stuff Robert De Niro churns out these days. That's why this is an interesting quiz.

	brez002:	Mar 8th, 2012 at 16:10 GMT		3 points
	You know too many movies got nominated for best picture this year when a best picture nominee also just happens to have made this game. Good quiz.

	allthetrees19:	Mar 8th, 2012 at 19:36 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz but I'm pretty sure Salma Hayek wasn't in Death to Smoochy . . .

	Buscemi:	Mar 9th, 2012 at 01:00 GMT		3 points
	Larry Crowne is another one you can add. Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Bryan Cranston, Taraji P. Henson and a host of familiar faces and the final Rotten Tomatoes was around 37%.

	Justinpbg:	Mar 9th, 2012 at 13:08 GMT		1 point
	According to IMDB she has a brief appearance, that's why I included her is all. You're right about Larry Crowne. I'll make a sequel someday, I just wanted to keep this at 20.

	good quiz
