I'll go with Nicole Kidman (like Bening though) and Liv Ullmann (very tough).

Nicole Kidman and Liv Ullmann advance.


Back in a few...

Emily Watson - I like Maggie and I look forward to many years of watching her, but I admire Emily's ability to disappear in a role.

Julie Christie - Because she's Julie Christie.

The Watson/Gyllenhaal matchup is tough - Emily is indeed a fine actress, but Maggie has an appealing presence that's tough to beat.
