Golden Globes 2017 nominees embarrassing early roles

Nominated for: Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, Jackie Embarrassing Role: Amazingly, Natalie Portman once appeared on Sesame Street… dressed in an enormous elephant costume. Absolutely glorious and completely bonkers.

Nominated for: Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama, Captain Fantastic Embarrassing Role: Not quite the King of Arnor we met in Lord of the Rings… in Miami Vice, Mortensen plays an ill-fated detective who's blown up at the start of an episode when a bust goes wrong.

Nominated for: Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, Arrival Embarrassing Role: A 'rom-com' if you can call it that, Leap Year was about as funny as leprosy. It's embarrassing mostly because it's just so bad… Thankfully, Adams has since redeemed herself.

Nominated for: Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama, Manchester by the Sea Embarrassing Role: Who knew Casey Affleck was in American Pie and American Pie 2? He played Tom Myers – the elder brother of Kevin Myers, who originally comes up with the whole losing-their-virginity pact in the first film.

Nominated for: Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, Elle Embarrassing Role: Although I Heart Huckabees will always be an amazing movie, it's also the film where Isabelle Huppert had gross, muddy field sex. Yeah.

Nominated for: Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, The Lobster Embarrassing Role: Ben Affleck wasn't the only one who got a raw deal with Daredevil. Here, Colin Farrell played Bullseye, the cheesy villain with a target on his forehead who isn't quite a match for Daredevil.

Nominated for: Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, La La Land Embarrassing Role: Remember when Emma Stone was in Malcolm in the Middle? She appeared as Diane – a teen girl who plays a prank on Reese… and is utterly destroyed in return by Lois.

Nominated for: Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama, Fences Embarrassing Role: It's time for a bit of '90s cheese with Virtuosity – a film about an escaped VR criminal (actually, an amalgamation of the most violent serial killers in history) which is then tracked down by a leather-clad Denzel Washington.

Nominated for: Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, Deadpool Embarrassing Role: Obviously, it's Green Lantern. The CGI-heavy superhero movie brought nothing but pain to Ryan Reynolds' career. Thankfully, he's redeemed himself with Deadpool.

Nominated for: Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama, Hacksaw Ridge Embarrassing Role: The picture really says it all – at one point in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the young Andrew Garfield dressed as a woman. Glorious.
