Re: Tilda Swinton.

Ask me this question tomorrow and she probably would have made my list. I also like Holly Hunter (though she hasn't done much of late), Catherine Keener, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jodie Foster.

BTW, didn't Foster do a brief topless scene in Nell?

Skipping the ratings and the sexist nonsense, here's 10 whose acting talent I've admired in recent works:

Emily Watson
Julianne Moore
Audrey Tatou
Allyson Hannigan
Frances McDormand
Emma Watson (very good for a child actor, IMO)
Bjork (who has claimed she'll never act again, but I hope she changes her mind)
Gwyneth Paltrow
Nicole Kidman
Catherine Zeta-Jones
