A bias is a prejudice that can effect your opinion. To say that someone is biased <I>is</I> a genuine criticism - it's saying that someone is making a judgement about something for, basically, irrelevent reasons. For example, if Nathaniel had a bias against blond actresses, he would automatically rate any blond actresses performances as lesser than any brunette actresses, even if the performances were exactly the same in every other respect.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if Nathaniel has any true biases against Naomi Watts or not, but I certainly have not seen any evidence provided in this thread that he does. Not absolutely loving Naomi Watts does not automatically mean he has a bias against her.<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to say that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1151438388443777662006-06-27T15:59:00.000-04:002006-06-27T15:59:00.000-04:00I love Naomi Watts and think she is a fantastic ac...I love Naomi Watts and think she is a fantastic actress.

I thought he was just analysing the lists against each other.
