Claire Danes (toss up)

Fidelity to the source should always be the goal for Blu-ray releases.

Re: Best Contemporary Actress Tournament
Marcia Gay Harden
Claire Danes - Though I like them all, particularly Christina.
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.

Re: Best Contemporary Actress Tournament
Round 1 - Bracket 25
Judi Dench
Born in 1934, this dignified grand dame has appeared in 84 Charing Cross Road, Henry V (1989), Iris, The Importance of Being Earnest (2002) and Mrs. Henderson Presents. A four-time Oscar nominee, she won for Shakespeare in Love. Lately she's been bossing around James Bond.
vs.
Gong Li
Born in 1965, this gorgeous Chinese actress is best known for her work with Zhang Yimou, including Red Sorghum, Ju Dou and Raise the Red Lantern. She's also been in Farewell My Concubine, 2046 and Memoirs of a Geisha. Look for her in the upcoming Young Hannibal: Behind the Mask. I'm not kidding.
vs.
Uma Thurman (wildcard)
Born in 1970, this sandy-haired six-footer is probably best known for killing Bill. You can also see her in Dangerous Liaisons, Henry & June, Mad Dog and Glory, Gattaca and The Truth About Cats and Dogs. She won an Oscar for her performance in Pulp Fiction. Her middle name is Karuna. Say it: Uma Karuna, Uma Karuna, Uma Karuna...
Round 1 - Bracket 26
Irene Jacob
Born in 1966, this sad-eyed French beauty first made an impression in Louis Malle's Au Revoir Les Enfants. She then went on to star in The Double Life of Veronique, Three Colors: Red, Othello (1995), U.S. Marshals and My Life So Far.
vs.
Diane Venora
Born in 1952, this Connecticut native can be seen in Wolfen, F/X, Heat, Romeo + Juliet and The Jackal. The highlight of her career is her part in the modern masterpiece Megiddo: The Omega Code 2.
vs.
Cameron Diaz (wildcard)
Born in 1972, this goofy BEB (blue-eyed blonde) mixes big Hollywood releases with lower profile films. Check her out in The Mask, There's Something About Mary, A Life Less Ordinary, Being John Malkovich, Any Given Sunday and In Her Shoes. She got paid $20,000,000 for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Let me repeat that: she got paid $20,000,000 for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
Actress Quote:
"Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan."
- Uma Thurman

Re: Best Contemporary Actress Tournament
You're such a smartass Steve. You know what I'm talking about.
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
