Fine bit of presentation there, well played. I hope the Persona picture was supposed to be Liv Ullman, it suits the theme of the film!

It wasn't. It was a mistake on my part. This will be changed.

Love the new entries: Lesley Manville, Judy Davis, Anamaria Marinca, and Patricia Neal.

And wow at the jump for Hackman.  Not complaining, he's superb in it.

Thanks for running it again Gotham!

Yay!

Biggest Drop: Kerry Fox - An Angel At My Table (-50)

Ouch.  At least she's still on the list.  Who voted for her last year that didn't vote for her this year?


In general, I was pretty pleased to see so many of my favorites rise up the list or make a new appearance, and to see a number that I consider overrated to slip down/off the list.

That'll certainly happen when such few people send in ballots.

I don't think I can disagree with anything on this list. Every performance I've seen I've liked.

Probably my fault.  I sent in a ballot last year but not this year.  :(
