From Scotland to Hong Kong with a three stop layover in the USA, it's #20 through #16 in The Actress of the Aughts Countdown. Tilda Swinton, Laura Linney, Angelina Jolie, Holly Hunter and Maggie Cheung grace the silver screen with their beauty and talent. This fan bows down to all five of these remarkable women.
Read and discuss...
Very interesting. I really need to see You Can Count on Me and thirteen, huh?
ReplyDeleteStill not convinced Jolie should be anywhere near that high.
-Glenn
Maggie Cheung - The Goddess from Hong Kong
ReplyDeleteTilda Swinton - LOVE her!
Laura & Holly - yay!
Angelina - If only "Girl Interrupted" had been a 2000 movie...
Does this mean that Jennifer Connelly is in the Top 15? You can't really write her off, can you? I like her plenty ;-)
86ed. Apart from Requiem I've yet to be impressed.
ReplyDeleteas for Jolie's placement. I mean this will all sincerity when I say that I think she probably has more pure screen voltage than anyone outside of say, Julia Roberts... So she could be an actress for all time lists if she could understand how to use the potency. I'm not a big fan of Julia but it's clear that she is A MOVIE STAR.
ReplyDeleteand, again, not trying to say that Angie is a brilliant actress per se. I think the jury is out a bit on that. But brilliance as an actor and brilliance as a movie star are sometimes separate things.
Jennifer is out? This makes me sad.... :-(
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about Blanchett, even though I predicted her for Top 15.
ReplyDeleteIf The Australian Goddess CB isn't on that list I'm gonna get seriously mad.
ReplyDeleteAnd the great Deneuve? Will her coolness get there too? That would be awesome.
Yeah, I do think JConn should be on the list somewhere... but this high? Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI assume Halle Berry is not here... even though you've gotta admit, she's sealed her place in history this decade, and is now a major star (even if her movies are bad).
So who's left? Kidman, Blanchett, Winslet, Moore, Dunst, Pfeifffer... maybe Berry and JConn? What about little Dakota Fanning? Has she shown up anywhere? I probably just forgot where she made the list earlier. Anyway, very excited for the top 15.
Oh wait, I missed those last few posts. Guess JConn is out. I'm not holding my breath for Berry either (not that I'm invested in that one).
ReplyDeleteBut yo, chill out, people, Blanchett will be top 10.
I was thinking about Dakota Fanning yesterday! Will she appear and if so how high. Nath's obviouslty impressed by her.
ReplyDeleteJennifer would be on my list (if that's any conselation)
I'm still wondering about the placement of Dunst. Because as much as he likes her she's never been nominated for a FilmBitch award (has she? Maybe Virgin Suicides). I know she came close with crazy/beautiful
And, while Angelina may be a movie star I just don't think her performances warrent a placement on the list when people like Jennifer Connolly (not that I'm a huge fan of hers) is not.
I think Catherine Deneuve has already been listed.
One thing that I found odd about the list! When you got to Annette Bening you said she was the highest ranked person with only one performance. And so that meant that Bjork was absent, but I destinctly remember she won the gold FilmBitch award that year. Plus she wrote the music, that should've given her some extra credit.
-Glenn
No, Deneuve hasn't been listed yet. But will "Dancer in the Dark" and "8 Women" be enough for a Top 15 placement? I dunno.
ReplyDeleteBjörk left me wandering too.
I think Kirsten *was* nominated last year for "Sunshine", though I don't remember Maggie Cheung ever being nominated (which is odd, to say the least).
Kirsten won a medal for Virgin Suicides and has gotten lots of finalist citations from Nathaniel. Her 2000s filmography is very impressive, she'll be way up there.
ReplyDeleteBjork, I think, isn't here because she isn't really an "actress"... and cause yeah, she's only done one film and will never do another.
Deneuve had Pola X, I think, and maybe something else? I didn't expect her this high, but I think she'll be here.
My predictions for he final fifteen, in no order
ReplyDeletePatricia Clarkson
Toni Collette
Kirsten Dunst
Isabelle Huppert
Scarlett Johansson
Nicole Kidman
Frances McDormand
Julianne Moore
Samantha Morton
Gwenyth Paltrow
Michelle Pfeiffer
Kate Winslet
And???? Who am I missing? Who have I got that he's already listed?
From that list, 9 are shoo-ins... but Paltrow, McDormand, and Huppert feel iffy to me... I guess Hupert has 2002, which was a big deal. Frances' odds are pretty good, I guess. But what has Gwyneth really done outside of Sylvia?
ReplyDeleteUm... Gwyneth and Isabelle were already listed.
ReplyDeleteI'd say...
Cate Blanchett
Patricia Clarkson
Toni Collette
Catherine Deneuve
Kirsten Dunst
Scarlett Johansson
Nicole Kidman
Frances McDormand
Julianne Moore
Samantha Morton
Michelle Pfeiffer
Uma Thurman
Kate Winslet
i'm still missing a few...
put us out of our misery, nathaniel!
Björk!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think Javi's 13 will be there... but who could the last two be...?
ReplyDeleteFound Paltrow at 64 (don't know how my eyes missed the poster), but I can't find Huppert. He has Isabelle Rosselini on his list, though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't think Isabelle Huppert had been cited. Huppert did have Piano Teacher, 8 Women, I Heart Huckabees, plus others stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think Javier's 13 are right, plus Huppert and...
JOAN ALLEN!!!!
(surely, it's gotta be her, doesn't it?)
-Glenn
Oh right, Joan Allen.. duh. I guess I thought perhaps that she'd been lower.
ReplyDeleteIs Huppert really not here yet? If not, I think she and Deneuve might be a combo pack. If that's the case, then I say 11-15 (in no particular order) are:
Huppert
Deneuve
Thurman
McDormand
Collette
6-10:
Blanchett
Clarkson
Johannson
Morton
Allen
1-5: (Nathan's goddesses):
Dunst
Winslet
Moore
Pfeiffer
KIDMAN
I'm sure I'll be somewhat off on the order, but those 15 are looking mighty strong to me...
I don't think Allen will be that high.
ReplyDeleteI dunno about Pfeiffer in the top 5. She's only had 2 movies compared to, say, Blanchett, Clarkson or Collette.
(this is fun)
-Glenn
yeah but the wait isn't... lol
ReplyDeleteOK, maybe switch Allen with Collette, and Pfeiffer with... Clarkson? Morton? I dunno. Order is impossible to say.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of convinced that Moore, Dunst, and Kidman will be in the top 5, though.
