1. Without a doubt, ENID COLESLAW from Ghost World. Such a strong, intelligent character, yet cynical like me! I luvva da Enid.
2. The movie blew, but TEDDY rocked my world in AI. He cracked me up, and whoa can he act!
3. BETTY in Mulholland Drive. Cuz of da twisty movie and Watts, she stays w/ you.
4. HEDWIG in Hedwig and The Angry Inch.
(S)he can rock!
5. ROSEMARY in Shallow Hal. She was just so sweet, and Paltrow was great.
6. ELLE in Legally Blonde. Cuz I gotta give it up for my girl Reese.
7. FULLER in Joy Ride. Zahn is one of the best comedic actors.
8. BITCHY CHEERLEADER in Not Another Teen Movie. The movie wasn't a masterpiece, but this role was handled great and the Bring It On parodies were ripe and hilarious, credit goes to Jaime Pressly.
9. REBECCA/ROBERTA/SEYMOUR in Ghost World. This strong supporting cast deserves higher on the list but i forgot (whoops). Johanson was great, Douglas hilarious and Buscemi wonderful.
10. Umm.......LISA in Sugar & Spice. I thought Sokoloff had great comic timing and sharp wit, so she gets the last spot. The other cast rocked, too.
