Connery tops bad film accent awards
From Yahoo!
Scottish actor Sean Connery created the worst accent in the history of cinema in the 1987 movie "The Untouchables", according to a poll conducted by British film magazine Empire.
Although the James Bond smoothie won an Oscar for his role as Jim Malone in Brian de Palma's film, a jury of industry professionals crowned him top of their bad accent list, which appears in the magazine's July issue.
"Whether he's a Russian sub captain ("The Hunt For Red October") or even an English King ("First Knight" and "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves"), always that baritone Highland burr remains," the verdict read.
Close behind, in third place, came US actor Brad Pitt (news - web sites) for his role as an Austrian mountaineer in the 1997 film "Seven Years in Tibet".
In seventh position, Hollywood icon Julia Roberts was also singled out for her linguistic performance in the 1996 movie "Mary Reilly".
Meryl Streep came 10th for her work in "Out of Africa" in 1985, where she played the role of South African author Karen Blixen, alongside Robert Redford.Our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us. - Matthew Mcconaughey - Interstellar

I figured Kevin Costner would have topped that list for this English accent, or lack thereof, in Robin Hood.
