The Next Top Ten List

[derek1030]

So, as you can guess, my next list would be best actors.  Again, I will name the actor and the role I think they performed best in.  Jess, if you read this, don't kill me.  I'm not going for hot actors, but Oscar-deserving ones.

In No Particular Order

1. Jack Nicholson-Buddy Rydell in Anger Management (I know this would not be everyone's first choice, but this is my list.  Ha!)
2. Emile Hirsch-Tim Travis in Imaginary Heroes (hot and a wonderful actor.  He will win an Oscar someday.)
3. Joseph Gordon-Levitt-Neil McCormick in Mysterious Skin
4. Morgan Freeman-Alex Cross in Kiss the Girls
5. Mel Gibson-Benjamin Martin in The Patriot and Graham Hess in Signs
6. Russel Crowe-Maximus in Gladiator
7. Robin Williams-John Keating in Dead Poets Society
8. Denzel Washington-Herman Boone in Remember the Titans
9. Dennis Quaid-Frank Sullivan in Frequency
10. Shia LaBeouf-Jerry Shaw/Ethan Shaw in Eagle Eye

Honorable Mentions (mainly because I don't know their body of work well enough)

Anthony Hopkins-Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs
Sean Penn-Sam Dawson in I am Sam
Gary Sinise-Lieutenant Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump

Hot, Good Actors Who Haven't Yet Reached Oscar Standing

Jared Padalecki-Sam Winchester in Supernatural
Josh Hartnett-Danny Walker in Pearl Harbor
Jensen Ackles-Dean Winchester in Supernatural
Ryan Phillippe-Sebastian Valmont in Cruel Intentions

I am in no way saying that these last four actors are bad by any means, but, in my opinion, they still need a little work.  On the other hand, they're so hot that they don't need an Oscar.  lol
