Orlando Bloom named Actor of the Year
British actor ORLANDO BLOOM has been named Actor Of The Year by an American poll of critics and cinema-goers.
The 26-year-old star has enjoyed a phenomenally successful year at the box office, after landing starring roles in blockbusters PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL and LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING.
The US TV and E! ONLINE poll also marks a major scoop for Brits in Hollywood - Bloom's English Pirates Of The Caribbean co-star KEIRA KNIGHTLEY was voted second.
AMERICAN WEDDING star EUGENE LEVY came third, followed by Australian actor HUGO WEAVING for his roles in THE MATRIX movies and Lord Of The Rings.
JOHNNY DEPP won the Male Standout Performance award for his swashbuckling antics in Pirates Of The Caribbean.

Good for him! Not that I really trust E! but he really deserves it!

mmmmmh
would like to see him playing some more serious roles before I judge his acting
He's always waving swords and saving things (the world, girls, ...)
personally think action movies are a lot easier to act then psychological drama's
if he does that (the drama's) and is still able to make me believe it, then I'll think of him as a really good actor (there aren't very many of those if you ask me)
don't feel insulted because I didn't shower him with compliments, I'm not saying he is a bad actor, just that I haven't seen enough of his skills to judge properly
And commercial succes is not the same as being good, I'm afraid
(comming from somebody studiing marketing)
never mind sweeties, he looks great but he still needs time to grow as an actor
and maybe he will and maybe he won't (would be a pitty if he didn't grow though)

Actually you probably haven't seen it yet but he did a fantastic job in Ned Kelly.

My friend had this comment after watching a bootleg copy of Ned Kelly which her friend sent to her from Australia:
"Orlando can act!"
Eh... :P Anyway I think that Leggy and Will Turner are not really proof of his acting abilities so I'm really still looking forward to Ned Kelly. Or maybe I can borrow that copy from my friend...

I'd be watching Ned Kelly with two other Orlando (or rather, Leggy) fans on Friday as celebration for Orlando's birthday!
Woot, go us innit?! :D
