Och Aye The Noo - Hoots Mon - See You Jummy

[Lachlan09]

My choices are (I’m so excited as I open the golden envelopes !):-

Cream of the Barley

Third Best – Mike Myers – for “So I Married An Axe Murderer” (as Charlie MacKenzie’s father) and “Shrek”.
Second Best - Robin Williams – for “Mrs Doubtfire” (even though the character says she’s English ! Tuts-tuts !!)
Best - Jason Statham – for “Mean Machine” (as psychopathic Scottish convict “The Monk” - this "Cream of the Barley" award is given for only saying “Aye” in a menacing, husky Scottish voice throughout the entire film).

Bottom of the Midden

Third Worst – Joanne Whalley – for “The Big Man” as Beth Scoular. (Posh RADA actress bird doing a working-class Scottish accent. Her casting is a complete mystery).
Second Worst - Dame Peggy Ashcroft – for “The 39 Steps” as Margaret, the crofter’s wife. (Another posh RADA actress doing Scottish in an era when it didn’t really matter if they hurt Scottish feelings. Her scripted lines were complete rubbish too !)
Worst - Norah Gorson – for “Geordie” as Jean – (even Wikipedia says “..described as one of the worst attempts at a Scottish accent ever to appear on screen, although there are a number of serious contenders for that title”).

Spot the common link in the worst category – a) they’re all women and b) they’re all English. So film directors – never cast English actresses as Scotswomen with accents.

At least American actress Jessica Lange did a passable accent in “Rob Roy”!
