There are plenty of strong performances in the running for acting awards at this year's Oscars — but even great actors make bad movies. Here are several of the nominees in their less impressive roles.
Best Supporting Actor
Tommy Lee Jones in "Batman Forever"
Before Lincoln, Tommy Lee Jones hammed it up as Two-Face in the candy-colored Batman Forever. He's not the worst thing about the movie — really, no one deserves all the blame for this turkey — but that isn't saying much.

Robert De Niro in "Little Fockers"
One of the great things about De Niro's performance in Silver Linings Playbook was that it wasn't the broad, self-parody he's been doing for the past several years. (The joke here is that farts are funny, and De Niro is mean.)

Christoph Waltz in "The Green Hornet"
This one's a little iffy, because surprise — Christoph Waltz is literally great in everything. But hey, The Green Hornet, Michel Gondry's trippy superhero flick, came and went without much notice. So, too, Waltz's performance.
