Actors:

Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, Christian Bale, John Cusack, Christopher Lee

Actresses:

Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet and Judi Dench (who deserves a :bow: )

Has Judi Dench won an Oscar, I think she should have.

Im going to see Bond tomorrow and Im hoping she'll be one of the usual highlights as M :D

Yeah, she has. She won for Shakespeare in Love - it was a big controversy. The year before she was nominated for mrs Brown and everyone thought she should have one. Instead, Helen Hunt (the only American nominee that year, all the rest were brits) won best actress for as good as it gets. the following year Dench was nominated for best supporting actress for Shakespeare in love, and won despite only having about 10 minutes of screen time. It was commonly thought that the academy awarded it to her because everyone was of the opinion she deserved it the year before.

I'm trying to think if she also won for iris but i'm not sure

*scuttles off to check imdb*

back from imdb

she's been nominated 4 times and won once. :) i think she should have won more, but then i think she great!!!!

:bow: Judi

To be nominated 4 times is an achievement in itself :bow:

I still can't believe Audrey Hepburn only ever won ONE Oscar :o :o :o

true - but the films she was nominated for she should have won - definitely Mrs brown and Iris......and above Helen Hunt for sure!!!!

Ye I suppose :)

I still can't believe Audrey didn't even get a NOMINATION for My Fair Lady :(

I hate to be controversial, but good as she was in that film, surely the fact that she didn't actually sing might have had something to do with it. Plus the fact that there was a lot of upset at the time that she got the role over Julie Andrews who had been doing it in the theatre (on Broadway maybe)) at the time.....

Fave Actors, for their acting abilities

Morgan Freeman
Samuel L Jackson
Kevin Spacey
Guy Pearce (originally from Neighbours, but went on to star in LA Confidendial (one of my fave films ever) also Ravenous, Pricilla Queen of the Desert and Mememto) All stunning movies IMO. He frequently gets rave reviews and thats good in my book.

Dame Judy always puts in a fine performance
Nicole Kidman (fab in the tv series Bankok Hilton years ago)
Sally Fields (last saw her in ER a couple of years ago and again put in a top class performance)

Ye but Julie couldn't do it anyway because she was doing Mary Poppins at the same time. I don't know why Audrey didn't sing though Jo as she was a very good singer :(

Favourite actors - Morgan Freeman, Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey

Favourite actresses - Cate Blanchett ( :bow: ), Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie

My favourite actress is Mariah Carey roflmao

Michael Caine
Ian McKellen
Julie Walters
Judi Dench
Russell Crowe(despite his temper)

I forgot Alan Rickman as one of my favourite actors. He's just great!! :D

Oh ye Im surprised no-ones mentioned him yet!

Male- Sir Ian mckellen, Johnny Depp, Tom hanks, Morgan Freeman

Female- Renee Zelwegger, Reese Witherspoon, Sally field, Uma Thurman( :wub: ), Meryl Streep.

Actors: Michael Caine, Russell Crowe, Ken Watanabe
Actresses: Vivien Leigh ( :wub: ), Maggie Smith, Julie Walters

Marcello Mastroianni, Vittorio Gassman, Hugo Toniasi, Nino Manfredi, Philippe Noiret.

Sofia Loren, Claudia Cardinale, Sandra Fereole.

I'd consider the Italians the masters of this art. They started acting 10 000s years ago...

I would say Marlon Brando, Robert de Niro, Kidmann in the "western" world.

Whoever saw the original "scent of a woman" with Gassman would, i am sure, recognise that his talent was superior to Al Pacino's and so was the original director Dino Risi.

sigourney weaver :wub:
Sarah Michelle Gellar :wub:

Ah yes, I do like Sigourney myself :D
But Sarah... :huh:

Mickey Mouse?

:bow: Kiefer Sutherland :wub:

Serena Williams in the "I am really injured " role?

Well it wasnt one of her best.....nobody really believer she was injured :rolleyes:

:doh:

Maggie Smith! How random :lol:

Must agree with you on Vivien though :wub:

these ladies are the tops :ok:

julianne moore
joan allen
miranda richardson
judy davis

i like my actors old school

monty clift
marlon brando
james dean

Maggie smith is an incredible actress SW19, especially in the prime of Ms Jean brodie :)

roflmao
actually she kind of over played the role i thought, still she's only part of the way through her crash course in method acting apparently.

:rolleyes: I find it quite sad that people think Serena would fake injuries. She should get respect for finishing her match and giving the Wimbledon crowd a good quarter final. But no we get this...ah well, predictable by now.

I thought she was good in a room with a view :)

Nicole Kidman is the best actress in planet earth. Jolie would be nominated on mars Whacko!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes the lips woman as my friend calls her roflmao I find her totally bizarre.

Ewan MacGregor :wub: and Nicole Kidman are fantastic in Moulin Rouge :clap:
