Ad Agency Hires Oscar Winner Julianne Moore to Sell Turkey, Country Hates Her Work

Julianne Moore has won Emmys, Oscars, Golden Globes and hundreds of other acting awards -- but apparently, that isn't enough for the country of Turkey, which was not pleased with recent work she did on behalf of the country.

Moore was hired to appear in a $4 million film, "Home Of," that was supposed to help build tourism for Turkey. But it seems Turkey's Culture and Tourism Ministry didn't like what they saw, referring to Moore's work in the film as "poor acting." 

Even before Moore was chosen to appear in the film, several Turkish politicians criticized the selection of Moore, claiming she has a "depressive persona." All of which is to say it certainly seems the country of Turkey has no taste at all.

    She was pretty lame in the "Carrie" remake, too. (Just sayin'.)
