Did Ashton Kutcher deserve a Razzie award for his portrayal of Steve Jobs?

Jobs (2013)

Director - Joshu Michael Stern

Jobs is a film about the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs, played by Ashton Kutcher who went on to win a Razzie award for his performance.

Kutcher's acting style has always been very exuberant but there's no doubt this man is talented. He is one of the most loved actors in Hollywood after finding success in That 70's Show, MTV's Punk'd and then replacing Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men. He also appears in several blockbuster movies such as Leaving Las Vegas, No Strings Attached and probably his most famous role as Jesse in Dude, Where's My Car?

There's no doubting this man has a wide spectrum of style and doesn't back off a challenge. So why did he get a Razzie for this particular performance? 

After watching the film I have to say that this isn't deserved at all. Awards are given out based on the majority of opinions favouring that award, so most people have slated Ashton Kutcher for this performance. Okay he doesn't look exactly like Steve Jobs, but his mannerisms and style were pulled off by Kutcher really well. Whether or not you like him, he showed passion in taking on this role and clearly did his research on Steve and his time with Apple. 

The opening scene alone is scarily similar to Jobs' presentation for the iPod. The whole film has a great feel to it with a mix of 70's tunes including Job's favourite artist Bob Dylan. 

The runtime is just over two hours but the film never feels like it's dragging and you really get drawn in to Job's early life and the founding of Apple.
