Yeah I'd have taken her/hoped she'd slip unnoticed eventually but I refuse to take any more actresses before like the double picks round

I'm actually surprised he didn't go earlier. Even without his early death, you can't deny his incredible performances in Brokeback Mountain, Monster's Ball, and Dark Knight.

It was a good move to take him and James Dean now...you can sell them both as headlining stars for at least a decade.

yeah there are a bunch of those

Oh and nvm...I was leveled

u get their talent, not body of work, and ledger showed he had great talent

now my top 2 villains have been taken: lecter and joker

i'm gonna have to target one of my other top villains soon i guess

Hehe, gotta use that tilting posting style to my advantage every now and then :P

If I had gotten Wyler, I probably would have then picked up Davis along with Peck - I wasn't kidding when I said chuckles really screwed up my plan. But that forced me to think in new directions, and I like my Lynch/Aronofsky play. I'm not even worried about getting certain actors anymore - my directors can make great films without the distracting presence of superstars, and there's so much talent among supporting character actors.

Sandra Bullock was one of the people I almost picked instead of Michael Caine, but decided she had too much "overlap" with Audrey (charming comedic actress with some drama range). Benicio Del Toro would have been interesting for me for a 21 Grams sweep remake.

Sandra Bullock was the next actress on my list.

Del Torro is a great pick too.

As did Dean...

Sun scooped a couple big ones imo

I'm surprised so many people in this draft haven't seen Avatar yet. It's pretty phenomenal visually, but I don't know if that means it automatically deserves Best Picture. It totally deserves to sweep all the technical stuff, but Inglourious Basterds was just so good...

I haven't seen it either. Just never got around to it.

This is actually getting ridiculous now that someone hasnt been picked. I must have scanned that spreadsheet about 30 times to check I hadn't missed it.

Better not hint at it, there might be people who count on said person falling a bit

Never seen Bette Davis but it was clear to me that she was good-looking, why else would someone make a song about her eyes?

Laurence Olivier

this - was pretty amazing

Wow, he really went down too far imo.

yeah, I ctrl-f'd the spreadsheet about 3 times before posting, I was so surprised he hadn't gone

Also, Ace, sorry for naming David Lynch, I genuinely thought he had gone. If I had realised he hadn't, I'd have taken him!

I almost took Olivier instead of Bogart, and then every time I took an actor since then I forgot about him

Is it safe?

Hmm, I am looking at 2 completely different choices...which one first?

Olivier was one of two people I thought people could be talking about that should of gone a long time ago. I'll take the other...

yey!

heh, I had Tracy all written out and changed my mind just before I posted

Good pick
