Round 4 - Bracket 4

- Joan Allen

The Final Four


Round 5 - Bracket 1

Joan Allen

vs.

Liv Ullmann


Round 5 - Bracket 2

Kate Winslet

vs.

Emily Watson



Actress Quote:

"I was taught the value of imagination at an early age. I didn't have a television. I read a lot of books and developed a good sense of storytelling. I was happy as well, and I think that helped. The more secure you feel, the more unbalanced you can let yourself become."

- Emily Watson

Actress Trivia:

Outside Scandinavia Liv Ullmann has constantly been mistaken for a Swede despite being 100% Norwegian. The reason for this mix-up is probably because non-Scandinavians don't realize how ordinary it is for Swedes and Norwegians to work across the borders in the film industry, and mainly because of her collaboration with Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
