Answer: Halle Berry

Halle Berry has starred in a wide variety of genres ranging from suspense/thriller, to action adventure, drama, comedy, and outright farce; she has proven to be a talented actress in many of the roles she has chosen. However, both "B*A*P*S" and "Catwoman" were panned by critics.

In fact, Roger Ebert gave "B*A*P*S" zero stars and said it was "jaw-droppingly bad". At the 25th 'Razzie' awards, "Catwoman" was awarded worst movie and worst actress; Halle Berry accepted her Razzie with her Oscar statue in her hand.
