2. She’s Been Nominated Three Times For Worst Actress Razzies

Biel was nominated three times for her performances in three movies. But these nominations are not the kind you want to get. Known as Razzies or Razzie Awards, The Golden Raspberry Awards honor the worst films, directors, actors, actresses, among many others each year. The Razzie nominations and ceremonies always precede the awards you desire, the Academy Awards, and was started as a mock award that has now gotten more serious attention. Biel was nominated Worst Supporting Actress in 2007’s I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. In 2012, Biel got hit twice. She was nominated again for Worst Supporting Actress in 2012 for two of her movies, Playing for Keeps and Total Recall. It keeps showing up that Biel loses roles because she doesn’t know how to act. Did Biel learn her lessons here?

1. Her Last Acclaim Was For 2006’s The Illusionist… After That, It Was All Downhill

As reported in The New York Daily News, an agent warned that Biel “should get an acting coach” and do a film that “would show off her talent, not her beauty. . . She may be gorgeous. . . but her acting ability just isn’t where it needs to be.” In 2006, that all changed when Biel starred in the turn-of-the-century movie The Illusionist, opposite an entirely A-list cast. With that role, she received the best reviews of her life. Reelviews called her performance the “film’s real acting revelation.” Variety said, “Handily employing a refined English accent where the others lay on a light Austrian veneer, Biel is entirely stunning enough to fight to the death over.” As a result, Biel received the attention she always wanted. But it did not last. She has a habit of picking bad roles and followed The Illusionist with Next and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, both of which were trashed by critics and fans.
