From her depressing work in Sophie's Choice to her quirky turn in Adaptation, it is clear that Meryl Streep is the best actress working today. She gets my vote.
Diane Keaton is an okay actress, but has not impressed me in a long time. In fact, I have not totally admired one of her performances since the late 1970's.

Naomi Watts is a very promising actress, but Reese Witherspoon has been in more films and is great in every one of them. I mean how many actresses can give a great performance in the dark yuppy thriller American Psycho and a few years later give a great performance in the cute romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama? Not many. She is truly a great actress. One of my favorites. Reese recieves my vote!
ColinM
03-25-2003, 01:47 PM
Reese by a hair. I've seen her in more...
Ideal, what a way to get rid of Naomi ;)...
Reese Witherspoon is a GREAT actress who can pull off any role. Her performance in ELECTION is one of the best performances of all time and definitely her best performance. She can carry any movie on her shoulders. She's just EXTREMELY talented. But as much as I absolutely LOVE Reese, I also love Naomi, and since Reese will probably win for sure, I'm going to give my vote to the lovely Naomi Watts, so she can at least lose with some dignity...

VS.
Kate Winslet
http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0144715/1
Probably the toughest match in the whole tourney for me, but with some consideration I vote for Catherine Keener who has yet to disappoint me. If it wasn't for her shockingly horrendous performance in the dreadful The Life Of David Gale, then Kate would have probably got my vote.

Kate Winslet is the better actress. I have not seen The Life Of David Gale yet, so I can't comment on how her performance is in that flick, but having seen Heavenly Creatures, Iris, Titanic, and many more, I DO know Winslet is an amazing actress.
Keener? She's good, but plays too many bitchy executives.

God knows I'm a huge Catherine Zeta-Jones fan, however I am an even bigger Gwyneth Paltrow fan. She is one of my 5 favorite actresses, and IMO one of the best actresses in Hollywood today. Gwyneth gets my vote!

Jodie is a great hit-and-miss actress. When she hits it (The Silence of the Lambs), she's superb. When she misses (Panic Room), she's awful. Joan Allen gets my vote!
