Julia Roberts
Rene Zellwegger
Reese Witherspoon
J. Lo, I can't beleive people even consider her an actress, she is terrible.
I have to agree with ToddSm66, Adam Sandler is not that funny.

William Hurt. The man plays the exact same way in every movie no matter what character he plays. Does he have any acting skills at all?
Agree with Julia Roberts, for the same reasons as William Hurt.

Wow, two votes for Sean Penn? The Assassination of Richard Nixon, Mystic River, 21 Grams, I Am Sam, Sweet and Lowdown...the guy's come on strong since the turn of the century.

Colin Farrell. I remember that huge batch of overhype after Tigerland, which he followed up with... American Outlaws. While I like some of the movies he's been in, most of his roles (SWAT, The Recruit) could have just as easily been played by Paul Walker.

Jennifer Lawrence : While being decent actress, she definitely is the most overrated actress of this decade. I did like Silver Linings Playbook

A "Hell, yes!", 15 years late. Hanks, who is by all accounts one of the nicest people in Hollywood, is the acting equivalent of pablum.

I’ve really never understood why so many people love Johnny Depp. He was always liked by some and I think that his Jack Sparrow role really catapulted him over the top for some people. I’ve always thought he was kind of bland and don’t really like most of the films he’s in. Actually one of his only performances I like is in a film that I don’t think was that popular (Black Mass).

Is he really overrated though? He's done a lot of stuff, including writing and producing. But he's not a big box office draw and he doesn't seem to be loved by critics. The only major award nomination he has received was an Emmy nod for being part of a writing ensemble for Da Ali G show back in 2003. And it's not as if he gets coveted roles or anything; maybe the most prestigious thing he's done is playing Steve Wozniak in Jobs. He's not Jonah Hill with his 2 Oscar nominations.
Unless your angle was that merely getting to have a good career makes him overrated enough.

George Clooney
He had maybe 1 or 2 good movies but he is not that entertaining to watch.

Pretty much every actor mentioned in this thread plus every Oscar winner of the last 20 years under the age of 70, except for Christoph Waltz.
