7. Charlize Theron
Theron received critical acclaim for her portrayal of a serial killer in 2003’s Monster, which garnered her an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress. Critical acclaim followed. For North County (2005), Theron was nominated for Best Actress by the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. While she didn’t win both awards, she was nominated again by the Golden Globes for 2011’s Young Adult. Besides finding success playing Snow White’s evil stepmother in Snow White & the Huntsman in 2012, as well as its prequel in The Huntsman, which will be released in the spring of 2016, Theron never captured the success she found after she won that Oscar, starring in box-office flops like Aeon Flux and Hancock. Since 2011, Theron has failed to capture critical acclaim in any of the roles she took on. If not for her endorsement of Christian Dior’s “J’adore,” Theron would be nowhere to be found.
