Julianne Moore Dropped from Turkish Tourism Ad for 'Poor Acting'?!
Even an Oscar winner can't catch a break!
Turkey's Culture and Tourism Ministry is claiming that Julianne Moore was cut from a promotional film about the country due to her "poor acting." According to Hurriyet Daily News, 54-year-old actress -- who won an Oscar this past month for her role in Still Alice -- shot a scene in Los Angeles, titled Home Of, that was to show Moore on an airplane reliving childhood memories from a trip to Turkey.

The actress' performance was apparently not well received and a re-shoot was requested. Moore reportedly declined, and the project -- which was to be released in Feb. 2014 in Turkey -- was scrapped.
