The nominees for the 2024 Academy Awards were announced on January 23.
Getting nominated is a career-high — but not every movie can be Oscar-worthy.

The entertainment industry is full of highs and lows, peaks and valleys, as these actors all know. While they were nominated for Academy Awards in January 2024 for their exceptional acting, not every movie they've been in is worthy of an Oscar.

These are the worst movies that the 20 acting nominees from this year have starred in during their careers, according to critics.
