I started to watch John Adams on HBO tonight and my wife left the room because she says that Paul Giamatti repulses her. He does not have classic leading man looks, but he is still one of my favorite actors. So who are the best ugly actors and actresses? I'll start of by mentioning Paul Giamattia and Kathy Bates.
 
Now I wouldn't know where to classify Devine, but it has to be right up there with the ugliest on both sides.
 
I limited myself to only those who have received Oscars for Best Actor or Best Actress and came up with these:

Kathy Bates of "Misery."

Frances McDormand of "Fargo."

Ernest Borgnine of "Marty."

Geoffrey Rush of "Shine."

I think it's safe to say that, in these cases, performance rather than pulcritude was recognized by the Academy.

I forgot about Mickey Rourke. Started off as a good looking, good actor. Now in the best of the ugly actor category.
 
Call me crazy, or maybe I have severe astigmatism, but I think Penelope Cruz is a dog. I mean, she is an Alpo-face. Why she frequently "graces" the covers of magazines is beyond me.
