It is only fitting that I start this thread. I bet everyone hates at least one person in Hollywood, and I don’t mean as-in a jealous hatred. I mean, you simply cannot stand the person’s lack of acting ability or something in their character (or lack thereof). I’d start the list myself, but it’s easier for me to name the few I like: Robin Williams and Tom Hanks. You can keep the rest.
I hate Matthew McConaughey. But I love Jodie Foster. Contact was an emotional maelstrom for me.
Gwyniff Paltrow
I hate her so much I refuse to learn how to spell her name.
Sean Connery. Creepy old man.
Al Pacino. Ham.
Owen Wilson. I don’t know why. I just want to punch the guy. On the nose, for preference.
Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Will Farrel, Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, Martin Lawrence, all of the Wayans.
There are a lot of them I don’t like and even more whose purpose on Earth I do not understand, but there are only a few I hate, and those include Matt Damon, Mel Gibson, Melanie Griffith, and of course Tom Cruise. Oh yeah, and Nicole Kidman.
Jimmy Smits
I hated Woody Allen even before the Mia-Soon-Yi shit. And I still do and always will. When he dies I will do my Happy Dance.
Wow, in contrast with the OP, I hate Robin Williams and Tom Hanks. There’s a bunch of others who ick me out (I’m looking at you, Will Ferrell), but I can’t think of others whose movies I would actively boycott.
I hate Julianne Moore, but only because she starred in the most idiotic movie of all time.
Helen Hunt, as well as her younger doppleganger, Will Smith, Jack Black, Rainn Wilson (the later two mainly because their schtick is annoying, and they have to be “on” all the time, even on talk shows, etc.).
Add me to the Gwyneth Paltrow haterz. She stank up Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow big time, and when I heard she’s been signed up for an upcoming big-budget SF flick, my heart sank. That’s when I knew I hated her.
Tom Hanks is a biggie for me. I refuse to see movies that he stars in on general principle.
I hate:
Tom Cruise (for the Scientology weirdness and I think he is a pretty sucky actor as well)
Keanu Reeves (totally unbelievable to me)
Nicholas Cage - couldn’t act his way out a paper bag.
Thirded.
She has been in exactly one movie that I have enjoyed. And in it, she managed to get beheaded.
Unless I hear of her character dying a horrible death, I will not watch the movie.
Pretty much all of the newer, current actors/actresses.
Anne Heche, Julia Roberts, Halle Berry - especially Berry, when she got an Oscar and acted like she was the first black actor to get any recognition
Denis Leary for making Rescue Me all about him and his penis
Martin Lawrence
Bette Midler
Katie Holmes
Nicolas Cage
Jonathan Lipnicki
Tara Reid
