Well it is time to begin the voting for round 3. We had a few upsets again, and the match ups look even tougher this round. Not all of the voting went the way I hoped or expected. We did have less voting in this round and as close as some the battles were I wonder how different the results might have been with the same turnout as last week.
As always first here are the results from round 2 with my comments that I hope you find at least a little bit amusing and or entertaining.
1)Tom Hanks 23 vs. 17)Cary Grant 8 Forrest Gump defeats Mr. Lucky. This would have been a very tough match up for me to vote on as I really enjoy both their work. Grant was great in such a wide range of roles from Hitchcokc thrillers to screwball comedies.
2)Harrison Ford 24 vs. 18)Dustin Hoffman 7 Dr. Jones, Hans Solo and Jack Ryan way too much for the Rain Man and Tootsie
3)Denzel Washington 21 vs. 19)Gene Hackman 10 Just like in Crimson Tide Denzel comes out on top in this match up.
4)Paul Newman 17 vs. 13)Mel Gibson 14 William Wallace's cries of Freedom go for naught against Cool Hand Luke and Butch Cassidy
5)Al Pacino 18 vs. 12)Jimmy Stewart 13 Oscar winner for playing a Colonel beats real life General in a battle of 2 true superstars
6)Robert DeNiro 23 vs. 11)Robert Redford 8 Crazed Taxi Driver takes the Sundance Kid for a long ride
7)Jack Nicholson 19 vs. 10)Sean Connery 12 Jack might be the only man as cool as 007 as Bond goes down.
8)Clint Eastwood 14 vs. 9)Morgan Freeman 17 I guess it takes God to take down Clint as he did too good a job directing his good buddy.
Actresses:
1)Jodie Foster 25 vs. 16)Demi Moore 6 Clarice defeats G.I. Jane easily
2)Julia Roberts 23 vs. 15)Rita Hayworth 8 Erin Brockovich defeats Shawshank poster girl
3)Sophia Loren 13 vs. 14)Meryl Streep 18 Incredible actress beats legendary Italian beauty
4)Sandra Bullock 15 vs. 13)Marilyn Monroe 14 Speed kills this legendary beauty instead of a overdose this time.
5)Katherine Hepburn 20 vs. 12)Audrey Hepburn 10 Katherine the Great defeats her adorable namesake
6)Angelina Jolie 18 vs. 11)Renee Zwelleger 13 Mrs. Smith takes out Bridget Jones
7)Susan Sarandan 15 vs. 10)Julie Andrews 16 Mary Poppins eeks out a win over the Minor League's most famous groupie
8)Halle Berry 13 vs. 9)Elizabeth Taylor 17 La Liz adds the lovely Ms. Berry to her list of victims including her too numerous to count ex husbands.
Here are the match ups for the Quarterfinals. Man are some of these tough.
1)Tom Hanks vs. 9)Morgan Freeman
2)Harrison Ford vs. 7)Jack Nicholson
3)Denzel Washington vs. 6)Robert DeNiro
4)Paul Newman vs. 5)Al Pacino
Actresses:
1)Jodie Foster vs. 9)Elizabeth Taylor
2)Julia Roberts vs. 10)Julie Andrews
6)Angelina Jolie vs. 14)Meryl Streep
4)Sandra Bullock vs. 5)Katherine Hepburn

Quarterfinals for you Favorite Movie Stars EverDefinitely the hardest choices so far-
On the favorite vs best discussion- I think favorite is the best choice as it assumes bias where best hopes for objectivity that can never be achieved. Great Job Gator! |
