    Directors Best Contemporary Actress Tournament

    Yeah, thanks Steve. It ended up being far less predictable than I expected. I wonder if some participants might reveal who they suspect would be the winner. I don't mean who you wanted to win, but who you might have expected back when the tourney started. My best guess probably would have...

    I'll place a vote so Tilda Swinton can move on. I couldn't make up my mind, but it seems it is necessary.

    I suspect Steve meant screen presence. Besides, what do you have against boobs hanging out?

    If someone doesn't vote for Maggie, Steve may not let us play anymore.

    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.

    After all, we are voting based on what we think of one movie an actress appeared in. :P

    Guess I'll go with... Julianne Moore Audrey Tautou Tough pick on both.

    Directors Best Contemporary Actress Tournament

    Shame on you Rain. In addition to having the hots for older British women, I guess you have nothing for young German women. You ever see The Princess and the Warrior, Run, Lola, Run or The Bourne Identity, not to mention quite a few others...?

    Directors Best Contemporary Actress Tournament

    And it seems to me some non-heterosexual males are voting for all the stodgy old British woman. As someone said, (Brook I think) sex is always a factor, and the purpose of the tournament is to vote your tastes. Simply following with common perceptions would defeat the point of the tourney...

    Think I'll have to abstain today, but I'd almost vote for Tilda just for her quote. Might as well post it again... "There is something insane about a lack of doubt. Doubt, to me anyway, is what makes you human, and without doubt even the righteous lose their grip not only on reality but also...

    Directors Best Contemporary Actress Tournament

    These are like the "future of Film" rounds for me. We'll be hearing about these ones for decades to come. Franka Potente - International, bold choices along with big name movies. Gwyneth Paltrow - I had a bit of a revelation this year. Gwyneth is a fine actress. My whole perspective has...
