    Johnny Depp
    Christopher Lee
    John Malkovich
    Edward Norton

    Thank god they had the ****ing decency to put Steve Buscemi in the list! :)

    Maybe there are a few other, but for the ten I could pick? Ah well, I got a number of favorites in there.
    Malkovich, Norton, Oldman, Buscemi... Great stuff.

    I can see Robert De Niro winning this.......
    So heres my 10
    Robert De Niro (hes a legend)
    Russell Crowe (Proof of life..he was brilliant in it + good in Glad')
    James Dean (of the 50s but hes a classic)
    Gene Hackman ()
    Tom Hanks (he also deserves best director for Band of Brothers)
    Dustin Hoffman (Outbreak...nothing short of brilliant,but it was missing from top 100films!!!)
    Samuel L Jackson ( 2 many classics to list)
    Eddie Murphy (god i love this guy!)
    Jack Nicholson (another man with too many classics!)
    Al Pacino (The ultimate ganster,up there with De niro!!!)

    but what the f**k is angelina jolie doing there ?!?!?
    J-Lo ?? Barbra Streisand ?? they're both singers!!! and cant act...but where Cuba Gooding jr ???
    Most of the list may be stupid but atleast all the legends are in the list.

    OOh I'm with you angelwhore, Steve Buscemi is the best.

    Actually, Angelina Jolie isn't that strange a choice (for nomination anyway). If you've seen Gia or Girl Interrupted anyway. Granted, Tomb Raider isn't that great, but she can act. J-Lo is an aweful choice though. Urgh Urgh Urgh.

    Jack Nicholson
    Robert DeNiro
    Al Pacino
    (The Greats!)
    Steve Buscemi
    My memory is the worst today, don't remember who else is in the list and who i voted for, but i'm sure it included Brando aswelll, possibly Brad Pitt (say what u will but he is a good actor).

    Wha?

    I'm right about something? Whoa!


    Never been a fan of DeNiro for some reason. I just can't see him working in anything... It's strange, I just don't "Beleive" him in any of his roles.
    He'll never be half the actor Gary Oldman is, in my view.
    Everything I see him in, he seems the same person.

    Bruce Lee (Enter the Dragon is just too damn l33t)
    John Malkovich (Fantastic actor, I've liked all of his work that I've seen)
