Interesting no Molina but Sarsgaard and Cooper. Still, they're all good. Interesting that you saw The Last Station and still no Mirren. Diverse list though, I like diversity.
ReplyDeleteAlfred Molina was terrific, but he had to take 6th place in my rankings so he just missed it (like he just missed Golden Globe/SAG/Oscar nominations I'm assuming!)
ReplyDeleteHelen was also pretty close to getting in here (maybe a little lower, like 7th or 8th), but I just don't think she deserves to be in a list of 5.
Have you seen The Last Station? I wonder how much screentime she has compared to Plummer. To me it seemed like he had more screentime, but I of course could be (and probably am) wrong.
Why Renee Zellweger?
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming you're not a fan hahaha. I thought she was better than she had been in awhile in My One and Only. She's funny and cute and reminiscient of the Renee we all (or I) fell in love with.
ReplyDeleteI'll take your word for it...if I'm going to watch My One and Only, it'll be for Logan Lerman, who's adorable, and the only thing that got me through Meet Bill.
ReplyDeleteYeah Logan Lerman is always fun to watch on screen, isn't he?
