Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush – W.
Elizabeth Banks played first lady Laura Bush in W., a film that told the story of her husband George W. Bush’s presidency. However, the film did not do very well and many critics were quite negative about it. What was especially egregious about Banks’ casting was the fact that she was meant to play a Laura Bush that was in her 50’s, when she was clearly much younger than that. A lot of people took issue with this.
Johnny Depp as Tonto – The Lone Ranger
Johnny Depp is no stranger to controversy, and one role in particular that drummed up a lot of negative attention was that of Tonto in The Lone Ranger. Many people took issue with the fact that the actor was selected for the role instead of someone else who is actually Native American.
