Greetings, once again the Oscars are upon us and when we think of Oscars, we think of “best of the best”(mostly). However, something different popped up in my head…wasted talent. What actors/actresses can you think of that had the “chops” to have an successful career in Hollywood but let bad attitude, ego, etc; get in the way?

I was wondering why you think people wantBvS:DoJto fail miserably? It seems like for all the hype behind the film there is equal negativity. My thought is that people just don’t likeZack Snyderand it’s cool at the moment to nitpick/criticize DC. Love the show. Cheers, Frank
