Top Ten Most Overrated Actresses of Today

The Top Ten
1 Emma Watson Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is a British actress, model, and activist. Born in Paris and brought up in Oxfordshire, Watson attended the Dragon School as a child and trained as an actress at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts.

Her acting is too over the top and makes it painful to watch anything on the big screen. Fine, forgiven whilst she was a child in Harry Potter but unfortunately she's not improved one bit. Sure, as a person she seems lovely but as an actress, she has a VERY long way to go - no depth, no individual character. The speeches she makes seem very rehearsed, like a monologue in a play. So sad to see they cast her as Belle.

Her ability to emote is severely limited - and none of here acting manages to convey sympathy, empathy, or any form of investment from the audience.

Unfortunately, I think it's just a product of being an actress for most to her life. To convey emotion you have to draw on real emotion - and a life in the spotlight doesn't really give you much more than petulance, pride, or posing. To her credit, she conveys those emotions well.

She's mastered the art of eyebrow acting. She's a pretty girl (saw her at the premiere for the last Harry Potter) but could use a bit more skill and polishing up when it comes to acting. That said for my part I prefer to watch Emma any day over that Luis Miguel/BoJack Horseman looking hybrid Daisy Ridley.

Emma is an amazing actress I'm guessing you haven't seen beauty and the beast like I guess she's not the best in Harry Potter but she's an amazing role model. Also Anne Hathaway are you kidding me she's amazing. Les miserables she's so empowering. And Ella enchanted was one of my favorites as a kid she's amazing in that too

2 Kristen Stewart Kristen Jaymes Stewart (born April 9, 1990) is an American actress and filmmaker. The world's highest-paid actress in 2012, she has received various accolades, including a British Academy Film Award and a César Award, in addition to nominations for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award. ...read more.

Well deserved number one. Crap attracts crap. Like attracts like. My very wise aunt always says. I think that saying of hers definitely applies to the putrid disease infested sewer rats at Awards Watch who worship this androgynous, dim witted and monotonous Bieber lookalike. Teresa Palmer is easily Stewart's superior in every way possible and by accounts of my in the know work in show business friends way more accessible and down to earth to even the "little people" behind the scenes.

The most delusional, obnoxious "fans" on the planet have got to be KaKa Stewart and Blamy Wahdams fans. LOL to that illiterate retard in the Blamy Whadams comments. I know many people who are indifferent to that faux ginger: I'm one of them and the biggest douche on IMDB and twitter hardly has any room to talk when you and your multiple accounts have attacked various actresses. Follow your own advice and Get Lost.

She ruined Twilight and she normally acts clueless and confused.In every Twilight movie cover she always has the same darn look on her face! Drives me nuts! Everyone says,'Oh, she's so pretty! ' and 'She's the main character in Twilight she's the best! '
She's a horrible actress. And she's overrated.

No one thinks she's a great actress. I think the overwhelming majority of people are just wondering when she will finally go away.

3 Jennifer Lawrence Jennifer Shrader Lawrence is an American actress. Lawrence began her career in television, playing her first major role as a main cast member on the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show.

She's okay. Okay does not equate to great or award winning. Neither are most of these women on the list. She's pretty as are most of the "actresses" on this list. Apparently, Hollywood thinks pretty means talented. It's refreshing to watch average looking actor's from British films who are actually fantastic.

The most overrated actress today. The celebrated Hunger games were totally retarded. I lasted 21 minutes watching part one. Her other features are: totally plain looks ( without tonn of makeup), endless arrogance, nasty, mean girl personality, annoying throaty chuckle, preaching people about politics without having any clue or education to do so and hateful mouth. Go back to Kentucky and stay there.

Unconvincing. Her emotions seems suppressed, for example I don't think she can express believable emotions with her face. There seems to be a serious lack of depth.

Still young and beautiful though, but extremely overrated.

She is a good actress. I just feel like not as good as most people say. She plays the same type of characters. She never try's anything different. I feel that she is mostly famous for being pretty. I think that she should try acting in comedies. She has a bubbly personality that would've perfect for it.

4 Angelina Jolie Angelina Jolie is an American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards. She has also been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress. ...read more.

Ghastly, actually resembles La Muerte nowadays. Never saw her as "beautiful" either, looks too much like her father. Have a very good friend who used to work as a production assistant back in the day in two of her movies and she describes her as "certifiable" and "phony". I believe her. No wonder she won an Oscar, she was playing herself.

At 50, everyone has the face {S}he deserves. In this arrogant bish's case a lot sooner. Has always been on the same level of Crypt Keeper even in her younger days when she was built up as supposedly the most beautiful woman in the world. Honestly think Fuglie is a more appropriate chosen show business surname. Terrible actress as well. Actually think that the often ridiculed soap actors any of them have better dramatic chops; or at least are more believable in expressing their emotions.

Finally a place on the internet that doesn't kowtow to Never Gonna Be Mother Theresa. Mangie has always looked like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. Never understood the praise for her so-called beauty much less her non-existing talent.

Angelina is running out of fame because she playing more cheap movies that people can't stand! The movie "The Tourest" is the worst so far during her career! Also, why is Megan Fox doing on the list? She didn't do nothing wrong!

5 Gwyneth Paltrow Gwyneth Kate Paltrow is an American actress, model, writer, businesswoman, singer, and author. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including an Academy Award, an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award.

I agree! Worst of all is that she really thinks we should listen to her advice how to live our lives. She thinks she's the best and the rest is beneath her.
Typical spoiled rich kids attitude. Typical Jewish snob with an elitair attitude.

World's most arrogant actress! Honestly, how many rich kids from talented parents do we have to tolerate!

She is stiff as a board on film. Horrible actress and terrible person.

6 Scarlett Johansson Scarlett Johansson (born November 22, 1984) is an American actress, model, and singer. She made her film debut in North.

Johansson is considered one of Hollywood's modern sex symbols, and has frequently appeared in published lists of the sexiest women in the world. As of February 2017, she is the highest-grossing actress of all time in North America, with her films making over $3.6 billion.

She... read more

Johansson started getting a lot of attention after "Lost in Translation"; Bill Murray made a big fuss about her...I didn't understand it as I remembered her in "The Horse Whisper" and wasn't particularly impressed...thought she was sort of plain and her acting nothing special. I understand she's a big fan of plastic surgery, yes she's come out and said it, which was refreshing as at least she didn't deny it. She does seem to play herself...no real change in her performances from one role to another. Certainly she presents a very sensual woman these days. I don't find her a particularly, but she's not bad. exceptional actress

Overrated for everything. Overrated for her curvy body as in fact she's a fat girl in thight clothes to cover that up. Overrated for her beauty but people should take a real look at her when she's not putting tons of make-up. Overrated for her talent when in fact she's Always playing the same way without change. The only fact why she still get so many publicity is because she's Jewish and that's Always a pluspoint in Hollywood whether you got talent or not. So overrated that the rank of her on this list is way too underrated.

7 Miley Cyrus Miley Ray Hemsworth (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and has 4 octaves. She became a teen idol starring as the character Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana in 2006. After that Miley had numerous worldwide hits, such as ''Party in the USA'', '' We Can’t Stop'', and ''Wrecking Ball''. On December 23, 2018 she got married to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, but they divorced shortly after.

The only reason she ever gets a movie part is because she is extremely famous. That's all she is, something to make money off of. Which is funny, considering that she isn't very pretty.

8 Beyonce Knowles Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, is an American singer and actress, who started out in the popular pop/r&b girl group Destiny's Child. They had multiple top 5 hits such as "No, No, No", "Say My Name", "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Survivor", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious", and "Jumpin', Jumpin" from ...read more.

Without tons of makeup, airbrushing and photoshop she's ugly. She can't act so I don't even know what she's doing on this list.
She's much better off singing songs that people have written for her and flailing her arms around on stange. Nope, she can't dance either.

She is an AMAZING singer, but as an actress, she sucks.

She should stick to what she's good at - singing.

Probably the most overrated human being alive.

9 Millie Bobby Brown Millie Bobby Brown is an English actress and model. She is known for her breakout role as Jane "Eleven" Ives in the Netflix science fiction drama series Stranger Things.
10 Megan Fox Megan Denise Fox is an American actress and model. She began her acting career in 2001, with several minor television and film roles, and played a regular role on the Hope & Faith television sitcom.

Yes, she is beautiful but is it the reason to call her an actress?
Megan is the most stupid actress nowadays. Her interviews are ridiculous!
Her acting is horrible too - no emotions, no feelings, no mimic. Like Robot

She'd make an excellent playmate centerfold but nothing else.

Horrendous actress. Doesn't deserve to be famous at all.

The Contenders
11 Anna Kendrick Anna Kendrick is an American actress and singer. She began her career as a child actor in theater productions.

I used to tolerate this actress just fine until Trollsworldtour Fan2001 came into the picture and ruined any respect I ever had for the Trolls franchise and the actors involved in those movies. Now I can't stand her and would be absolutely livid if she ends up being cast as Princess Daisy in Illumination's Mario movie franchise instead of Madelaine Petsch.

I could barely watch the movie Up in the Air because of Kendrick; she is so incredibly annoying in the role. In fact, there is something incredibly off-putting about her personality which comes through in every role she plays. She seems completely disingenuous in every interview I've seen, like she's always acting for an audience she's imagined in her head for years; this hyper self-awareness makes her hard to stomach. Also, because she is so aware of how people perceive her due to her total self-absorption, she tries very hard to be self-effacing, funny, likeable and even cutesy; it's repellant. I dislike her more than any other actress past or present. I wish she'd go away and stop ruining what would otherwise be good movies.

Her acting is so-so, its not all that great in my opinion. She is so cringe worthy and every time I watch Pitch Perfect, I feel like puking. Her singing is overrated too. Okay body. Ugly face. And sure, you might say " well, it's the inside that matters", but does she have a good personality? No, I don't think so. She's rude (even to her fan) and tries so hard to be funny. She just really annoys me. And I don't like her acting.

The absolute worst actress. Her 12-year-old body frame and toothpick legs are far more suitable to a childrens role than any young woman's role available. Why they are pairing her up with experienced actors is evident: they're looking for a demographic of tweeners. LOL. What she calls acting is licking her lips or slurping a milkshake. The movies she does have been brought down a dozen notches at least. Leading actors should put their foot down when it comes to casting THIS person who believes herself to be an actress. Not. Thank goodness for fast-forward!

12 Natalie Portman Natalie Portman is an actress, film producer and film director with dual American and Israeli citizenship. Portman is best known for her roles as Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and Nina Sayers in Black Swan. She won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, ...read more.

Her acting is ok but she is a home wrecker, she has a repulsive 'I'm Holier than thou attitude' and her intersectional feminism makes me want to throw up.

Ugh she is so boring, he acting makes me sleep. Also she is a liar.

I'm not agree with you

13 Aubrey Plaza Aubrey Christina Plaza (born June 26, 1984) is an American actress and comedian. She is best known for her role as April Ludgate on the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. After appearing in supporting roles in several feature films, Plaza had her first leading role as Darius Britt in the 2012 film Safety ...read more.

Like her contemporaries in Anna Kendrick and Jennifer Lawrence, Plaza tries very hard to adapt an "awkward" and "quirky" persona that comes across as non-genuine and forced.

14 Jennifer Aniston Jennifer Joanna Aniston is an American actress, producer, and businesswoman. The daughter of Greek actor John Aniston and American actress Nancy Dow, Aniston gained worldwide recognition for portraying Rachel Green on the popular television sitcom Friends, a role which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

She's a terrible actress. None of her movies have done well. I think she played herself in Friends and that just doesn't fly in every movie role.

If that woman had never married Brad Pitt, she would have faded away along with the rest of her "Friends".

You don't need much talent playing dumb characters in cheesy comedy films. She isn't serious actress and never will be

Agreed. She's lucky she married talented men otherwise I doubt she would have had a career after friends.

15 Cameron Diaz Cameron Michelle Diaz is an American actress, producer, author, and former fashion model. She rose to stardom with roles in The Mask, My Best Friend's Wedding, and There's Something About Mary, and is also known for voicing the character of Princess Fiona in the Shrek series.

Her acting skills aren't the greatest and I will never understand why anyone would find her physically attractive nowadays. What, just because she has blonde hair? Give me a break, guys.

16 Emily Blunt Emily Olivia Leah Blunt is an English actress who holds both British and American citizenship, she is best known for her roles in The Young Victoria and The Devil Wears Prada.

Never found here performance convincing. Don't know why critics say she is underrated?

She's always underrated.

Good but overrated

17 Cate Blanchett Catherine Élise "Cate" Blanchett is an Australian actress and theatre director. She has received international acclaim and many accolades for her work, including two Academy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, three BAFTA Awards, six AACTA Awards, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards.

When I first saw the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy I could not understand who this average looking woman was and what exactly she was trying to put across in the character. The way she acted made no sense and didn't convey anything. I thought she was horrible and then year after year I keep seeing her popping up in more movies and people praising her great beauty and tremendous abilities. I'm like "What are they, blind and confused? Who's buying it? ". I'm sure not. Sure she has every right to be an actress but selling her as a raving beauty and saying she's God's gift to the world of acting? Not even close.

Lady? Seriously Looks more like a Dude. Third rate Judy Davis wannabe (her mannerisms and attitude in the Streetcar Named Desire rip-off Blue Jasmine is Pure True Australian Treasure Judy Davis) No surprise a certain no-taste demographic twitter Stan Group views her/him as their acting and beauty goddess. Very questionable taste. Even more annoying and hypocritical that those nimrods want to forcibly cram this tranny down everyone's throat while bringing down other women in the same sentence.

Cate Blanchett is ridiculously overrated. She over acts in every film. It's embarrassing. I don't understand it when people praise her acting. It's so unnatural and forced like she's focused on an award rather than the character. Hopeless.

She always seems to be playing an affected woman who was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth. No vulnerability, no real feeling or emotion. Fairly transparent mimicry of feelings/emotions.

18 Blake Lively Blake Ellender Lively is an American actress. Lively is known for starring as Serena van der Woodsen in the CW drama television series Gossip Girl.

She is absolutely gorgeous and I love her but her acting is really really bland. Flat emotions, not believable at all. Admitedly, it's not always her fault- some of the movies she's in have ridiculous premises like "The Age of Adaline" but still her acting was completely mechanical

19 Charlize Theron Charlize Theron is a South African and American actress, film producer and model. She is the recipient of several accolades, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and the Silver Bear for Best Actress.
20 Emma Roberts Emma Rose Roberts is an American actress and singer. After small roles in films such as Blow, she rose to prominence with her role as Addie Singer in the Nickelodeon television series Unfabulous, for which she was nominated for a Teen Choice Award and six Young Artist Awards.

No way! Emma Roberts is very talented and certainly not overrated. Was nominated several times in her teens but as an adult she rarely gets credits or nominations for her acting skills. One of the best today's new generation actresses. Doesn't belong here!

21 Jessica Alba Jessica Marie Alba is an American actress, model and businesswoman. She has won various awards for her acting, including the Choice Actress Teen Choice Award and Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television, and a Golden Globe nomination for her lead role in the television series Dark Angel.
22 Caity Lotz

I saw her in Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow...probably the weakest actor in the whole universe. But everyone loves her.

23 Tilda Swinton Katherine Matilda "Tilda" Swinton of Kimmerghame is an Anglo-Scottish actress, performance artist, model, and fashion muse, known for both arthouse and mainstream films.

All she can manage is sounding posh. Her heart seems to be in be right place and I'm sure she tries to be convincing but she always just comes across as Tilda. Bless her.

If by overrated, you mean amazing and talented, then yes, Tilda Swinton is overrated

24 Meryl Streep Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep is an American actress. Cited in the media as the "best actress of her generation", Streep is particularly known for her versatility in her roles, transformation into the characters she plays, and her accent adaptation.

Disagree! She IS the best and I'm saying this having watched the majority of her films. She nails every detail of every character she plays. Her voice never sounds the same, her accents are always on point and she even portrays personality just with her voice. Her control over her face is just great and she is really versatile. I've seen her in drama (her specialty, just watch Sophie's choice), comedy, musical (into the woods), historical (iron lady) and even ridiculous movies where she was the only good thing (Ricky and the flash). She never does the same things for two parts, even if they are similar. She creates new faucets of herself every time.

It's almost becoming a obsession to some people to praise her like she's some kind of goddess. Every time she moves or speak before a camera is perceived as work of genius. People should stop to praise her because I saw movies of her where her stage partner really stands out instead of her ( Amy Adams in "Julie & Julia ", " Doubt " ), movies where she's bad and overacting (" The deer hunter" ) and many movies where she's so boring to watch ( one of the ugliest actresses of all time ). It's not because a majority thinks she's the best that it means that it is true. THE MOST OVERRATED ACTRESS of all time.

Meryl Streep is a good actress, just not as great as everyone seems to think. She's made bad movies and delivered wretched performances. She's not infallible. She just good.

Love Meryl but she just opens her mouth and people perceive brilliance. I see others who have small roles who rip my heart out.

25 Zooey Deschanel Zooey Claire Deschanel is an American actress, singer-songwriter, model, and producer most known for her deadpan comedy roles in the films The Good Girl (2002), The New Guy (2002), Elf (2003), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), Failure to Launch (2006), Yes Man (2008), and (500) Days of Summer ...read more.

She plays the same character all the time.

Not only is she a terrible actress but she's not even cute or quirky like she constantly tries to be

Ugh, she is so annoying
