Best Actor?

[x1onexwo1fx]

If you're wondering, here's how these actors were chosen: http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1231342

[Broden Terry]

Johnny Depp.

[color_coded]

Daniel Day-Lewis.

[x1onexwo1fx]

haha, johnny depp might win this just for his popularity. i mean come on, who the heck is daniel day-lewis?

even if it is so early on in the poll, i'm a bit shocked that DDL only had one vote. guess who i voted for.

[FullCollaspe]

Lewis

[Forever.Zero]

For myself it would be between Ed Norton / Daniel day Lewis / Leonardo dicaprio

[Radiology]

Daniel Day Lewis

this was a TOUGH choice though, you made some great options to chose from. Props on Emile Hirsch by the way, I think he's going to be easily the next big actor and the biggest of our generation. That guy shows SO MUCH potential it's insane, he's done everything so impeccably well I can't wait to watch his career develop. Same with Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine, There Will Be Blood, and Where the Wild Things Are), he DEFINITELY should have been up for an Oscar for his performance in There Will Be Blood. AND Hirsch should have been acknowledged for his performance in Into the Wild.

[kbi the crowing]

Norton forever

[kbi the crowing]

& I'm surprised at the little (or any) love Bale is getting

[Radiology]

& I'm surprised at the little (or any) love Bale is getting

meh, I think Bale still has to prove himself in my opinion... he's getting there though.

Would have liked to see Philip Seymour Hoffman on the list too.

I would too
he grew up 5 minutes from my house haha

don't give me too much credit, i only came up with the idea, then made a thread where people nominated who they thought should be on the list. i linked to that thread in the opening post, btw.

edit: i loved paul dano in there will be blood. haven't seen him in anything else, though. actually, i haven't seen emile hirsch in anything. i feel left out.

[x1onexwo1fx]

i was actually very surprised, and a little disappointed, to see the lack of philip seymour hoffman in the nominations.

[PenThrive]

Went with DiCaprio, but I like Gordon-Levitt as well. My favorite of living/active Actors has to be Gael Garcia Bernal.

[briewer]

Norton, but if I was to order off the menu, Philip Seymour Hoffman is my favorite actor by a mile.

[mms13]

glad to see depp is winning because he is a genuinely good actor

[dpetty21]

From this list it's def Norton closely followed by Leo.

[Undue Noise]

I wanted to see Gary Oldman on this list. Meh.

[mike'smannequin]

my favorite actor out of those is emile the best however is ddl

[jbaseball44]

DDL or Johnny Deep

List needs some Philip Seymour

[RiCCioLi]

Johnny Depp is soooooo over rated since those Pirate movies (which to this day I've only seen half of the first one and didnt care to watch more)
Blow was his last good role that I can think of.

[MADSTA]

Leo all the way.

[cason eat world]

Depp's good and all but there's no way he should be beating Daniel Day-Lewis.

[Anderson]

I wanted to see Gary Oldman on this list. Meh.
This. From the list though I'd probably go for Norton.

[domotime2]

dustin hoffman. if i know he's in a movie the chances of me liking it are all of a sudden improved. Depp's a great character actor too.

[jwicklun]

Daniel Day Lewis is a true character actor. Just the edge over Johnny Depp.

[jwicklun]

I wanted to see Gary Oldman on this list. Meh.
THIS. I saw Dark Knight, Harry Potter, and Sid and Nancy. Could not tell they were the same actor.

[seraph1214]

My vote's for Depp.

[TotalCollapse]

Leo

[ArtForLovers]

Overall.. Johnny Depp. He has done such great movies.

[crimsonandclovr]

ha, didn't really give this much thought, but i just saw 500 days of summer and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's face is still stuck in my head.

would've gone with Depp otherwise ;)

[x1onexwo1fx]

right now

DDL - 22
Norton - 20

Depp - 42

22+20=42 !!!

[Ismael182]

Leonardo is my favorite actor, his acting in The Departed sucked me into the movie and I forgot where I was for over 2 hours.

[x1onexwo1fx]

that is one awesome avatar.

[thekinison]

Benicio Del Toro - should be on this list too. Depp is the best though, brilliant actor.

[TangledUp]

Johnny Depp.
I also love Leonardo DiCaprio too.

[bard]

DDL is obviously the best, anyone who votes for the other ones is retarded.

and philip seymour hoffman is better than the rest of that list other than DDL

[Nick Hull]

gGTEkJ8axbo

no contest.

[bard]

out of all the johnny depp movies i've seen, only 6 are good:

edward scissorhands
what's eating gilbert grape
donnie brasco
blow
finding neverland
secret window

that's a pretty poor ratio of good movies he has made to how many he's been in the last 20 years.

i've yet to see dead man though.

[PunkRocks]

Dustin Hoffman > Brad Pitt > Leonardo Dicaprio ~ Emile Hirsch ~ Daniel Day-Lewis > Edward Norton > Johnny Depp ~ Christian Bale > Joseph Gordon-Levitt > many many many many others > Hellen Keller > Sacha Baron Cohen

[ckunh]

I went with Pitt even though he hasn't done a whole lotta good lately. You can't beat his three films in a row in mid-90's... Se7en, Sleepers and 12 Monkeys are phenomenal. Not to mention Snatch and Fight Club. Inglorious Basters looks promising.

Bard, you need to see Fear and Loathing.

[singyoutocoma]

Norton, in my opinion, is the most talented actor both on this list and of his decade.

i have seen that movie. depp's acting was great in it, but the movie overall was too sporadic and weird. i wish i would've read the book first because i heard that's the best way to do it. i have no interest in reading it now though.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Johnny Depp, hands down.

[Fedaykin]

Daniel Day-Lewis.

DDL is obviously the best, anyone who votes for the other ones is retarded.

these

haha, johnny depp might win this just for his popularity. i mean come on, who the heck is daniel day-lewis?


you deserve to be lynched

gGTEkJ8axbo

no contest.

that clip is why i hated that movie

PERSONALLY, it is Tom Hanks, hands down! Seriously, only actor ever to win Best Actor Oscar in back-to-back years. But, it's DDL here.

[bard]

tom hanks is pretty great, and has way more movies than DDL, but i'm not sure who i'd pick in that poll.

[muchoawesomeo]

cohen

[fightinirish217]

I choose Tom Hanks.

But here, I'll go with Johnny Depp.

[And Hours Pass]

Went with DiCaprio, but I like Gordon-Levitt as well. My favorite of living/active Actors has to be Gael Garcia Bernal.
Love Bernal as well, but more replying because of how awesome your avatar is.

[PenThrive]

Love Bernal as well, but more replying because of how awesome your avatar is.

Danke :-) I think this avatar is a keeper!

[kdefrisc]

This was tough, I'm thinking Bale / Norton / DDL but not necessarily that order

[sargentlgfuad]

Edward Norton... hmmmmmhmmmm. i can watch him act all day.

[Indoor Living]

Give it a few more years, and it will easily be Gordon-Levitt. As of right now though, it's hard to say anyone besides Pitt or DiCaprio. I couldn't pick between those two, but it was even harder for me to convince myself that anyone else on there was the right answer.

[billyboatkid]

Minority, but I love me some Dustin Hoffman. I think he's a terrific actor

[BulleTheory]

i like Edward Norton the best

[x1onexwo1fx]

you deserve to be lynched



you should've sensed that sarcasm from a mile away. i voted ddl, trust me.

[EJrock]

just watch Rainman and how could you not say Dustin Hoffman?

[And Hours Pass]

Danke :-) I think this avatar is a keeper!
I frequently go to shake someone's hand and hear the "wiggity wiggity" in my head.

[ZEZEtheX]

Johnny Depp? You idiots don't know shit.

[Naenia]

Come on, own up, who voted for Sacha Baron Cohen

[zachff]

Really, Johnny Depp? In my opinion he is so overrated. He can only play one kind of character and granted he does it well, but if you saw him in Public Enemies (AND HE FUCKING SUCKED) there's no way you can choose him.

I chose Norton but the best professional actor of the bunch has to be Daniel Day Louis. He puts on the most consistent, highest quality work out of all of those.

[|adr3naLine|]

Shoulda gone Norton. For some reason I skipped over him in the poll. I went DiCaprio.

[VIVALAMATT]

Johnny Depp better than Daniel Day-Lewis and Edward Norton?

http://wilk4.com/humor/img/346_dog_laughing.jpg

[yoyostring]

Leo is the man.

[smorgy]

im a Daniel Day-Lewis fan myself

[socoxshelby]

mmmmnortonmmmm

[Codi23]

Lewis is the best actor out of those; but they're all really good.

His performance in There Will Be Blood was fantastic.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

Norton narrowly loses to Day-Lewis

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Depp is pretty much impossible to beat. Very versatile and always believable.

[lesterCorp.]

phillip seymour hoffman craps on all of these people (except possibly day-lewis, but i dislike method actors)

where the fuck is de niro also?

[bduke13]

I voted for DDL but I would have voted for Gary Oldman if he was on the list

[Holly HoX!]

haha, johnny depp might win this just for his popularity. i mean come on, who the heck is daniel day-lewis?

even if it is so early on in the poll, i'm a bit shocked that DDL only had one vote. guess who i voted for.


Who the heck is Daniel Day-Lewis????? HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHH. fail. I can't believe he isn't winning.

[x1onexwo1fx]

Who the heck is Daniel Day-Lewis????? HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHH. fail. I can't believe he isn't winning.

i nominated ddl into the poll before the poll was even created (by me). how is that fail?

you fail for not reading my last post that clearly stated that the post you quoted was sarcasm.

and i am just as upset as you are that ddl isn't winning.

[Zippedychick]

No other option? Alan Rickman

[Loge182]

DDL and Johnny Depp make this poll unfair for the others.

[cemetery drive]

i like johnny depp, but he's in tim burton movies and i like tim burton so i'd say that's why

[phil19]

where's my man Hanks??
