Swift backlash takes down article on 'actors who can't act'
Brie Larson's a good actress, right?
She even won the Oscar for Best Actress for the absolutely gut-wrenching Room back in 2015, the movie which, quite rightly, launched her career into the stratosphere.
But it seems she didn't impress everybody. Oh, and neither has Amy Adams. Or Michael B. Jordan. Or Bradley Cooper. All rubbish.

That's according to a brief but unequivocal list piece on US site Jezebel which is currently raising a few eyebrows on social media.
It lists a group of Hollywood stars who 'are not really good actors, contrary to what you might think'.
Here's the list in full:
Brie Larson
Jennifer Lawrence
Michael B. Jordan
Nicholas Cage
John Travolta
Kristen Stewart
Daniel Radcliffe
Adam Sandler
Gwyneth Paltrow
Vin Diesel
Chloë Grace Moretz
Emma Watson
Anthony Mackie
Jessica Alba
Amy Adams
Armie Hammer
Mark Wahlberg
Kevin Costner
Bradley Cooper
Scarlett Johansson
Ashton Kutcher
Chris Evans
Ansel Elgort
Gal Gadot
Angelina Jolie
Sienna Miller
OK, some of this lot are better than others, but nonetheless, the almost exclusively brutal court of public opinion has been uncharacteristically generous on this occasion.

By a writer who is lazy at writing.
If you’re this hard up for money, @Jezebel, hold a bake sale. It’s way less embarrassing.— Brendan Hay (@B_Hay) June 7, 2019
Look, taste is subjective, and nobody’s opinion is truly wrong... HOWEVER.
Sit down and watch more movies.— Brandon Marino (@TheBatMarino) June 6, 2019
Ooof.
That said, we can perhaps agree that Vin Diesel's Oscar speech isn't coming out of his top pocket any time soon.
But no one - NO ONE - disses Nicolas Cage. Not on our watch.
