So, four amazing actresses are in the Top 4!!! They received more than 50 points!!! Could you guess who of them is the winner of this rate? Could you guess who of them was so close to the first place?

 

I will post their acceptance speeches here.

 

 

 

 

 

Meryl Streep should definitely win. She's MOTHER of acting after all.

 

Juliane Moore should have been Top 3 instead of N. Kidman ans S. Bullock...both overrated.

Meryl Streep is the greatest actress of all time, so yeah she should win this. I don't mind Kate Winslet winning either, but the other 2 don't even deserve a place in the top 5 imo.

Jennifer Lawrence is horribly overrated, totally undeserving of an Oscar, really annoying personality and she totally ruined the character of Mystique in X-men.

Julianne is very underrated though IMO, despite her many nominations and award wins, she doesn't get the recognition she deserves.

Nicole Kidman is really a great actress but she doesn't always choose the best roles..Her latest movies are very underwhelming. Sandra Bullock was never overrated. She has always been the sweet Hollywood actress based on her roles. Critics rarely praise her acting or her movies. However, she was really great in "Gravity" and she was very good in "Crash". I haven't watched "Blind Side" yet. What is your Top 5?

I thought that Nicole and Sandra have many fans in Greece.. :D Nicole Kidman has a large fan base (both men and women) and her movies are always popular here.

If we make a "likeability rate", I'm sure that Sandra will be the winner. She is adorable..Even her Oscar speech was adorable..I wouldn't say that she is one of the greatest actresses ever but Hollywood would be poor without her... We need entertaining movies and actresses like her.

 

Jennifer Lawrence is horribly overrated, totally undeserving of an Oscar, really annoying personality and she totally ruined the character of Mystique in X-men.

Julianne is very underrated though IMO, despite her many nominations and award wins, she doesn't get the recognition she deserves.

 

Ok, I see that you don't like her but she is not a bad actress. I agree that Julianne Moore is very underrated but do you know what is her opinion about Jennifer Lawrence..?

In my opinon, she is a bad actress, she's never delivered. American Hustle really showed that, she could not come close to matching the abilities of those around her.

Nicole Kidman is one of the best actresses ever! She is totally gorgeous and she could be a professional model. However, she is very talented and critics usually praise her acting. She is one of the most popular actresses too. I can't imagine that there are people who don't know her..I think that her performance was great in "Moulin Rouge" and she was totally robbed by Halle Belly (One of the most unfair winnings ever!). She has a wide variety of roles and she has many notable movies in her filmography. However, her latest films were very underwhelming..Nicole Kidman is an Australian actress and film producer. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, while her Australian parents were temporarily in the United States on educational visas. Kidman's ancestry includes Scottish, English and Irish heritage. She was enrolled in ballet at three and showed her natural talent for acting in her primary and high school years. She studied at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Victoria, and at the Phillip Street Theatre in Sydney, with actress and friend Naomi Watts who had attended the same high school. A regular at the Phillip Street Theatre, she received both encouragement and praise to pursue acting full-time. In 1983, aged 16, Kidman made her film debut in a remake of the Australian holiday season favourite "Bush Christmas". By the end of 1983, she had a supporting role in the television series "Five Mile Creek" and began gaining popularity in the mid-1980s after appearing in several film roles, including "BMX Bandits", "Watch the Shadows Dance", and the romantic comedy "Windrider" (1986), which earned Kidman attention due to her racy scenes. Also during the decade, she appeared in several Australian productions, including the soap opera "A Country Practice" and the miniseries "Vietnam" (1986). In 1988, Kidman appeared in "Emerald City", based on the play of the same name. The Australian film earned her an Australian Film Institute for "Best Supporting Actress". Kidman next starred with Sam Neill in "Dead Calm" (1989). The thriller garnered strong reviews and brought Kidman to international recognition! She followed that up with the Australian miniseries "Bangkok Hilton". She next moved on to star alongside her then-boyfriend and future husband, Tom Cruise, in the 1990 auto racing film "Days of Thunder". It was Kidman's American debut and was among the highest-grossing films of the year! In 1991, she co-starred with former classmate and friend Naomi Watts and Thandie Newton in the Australian independent film "Flirting". Kidman and Watts portrayed two high school girls in this coming of age story, which won the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Film. That same year, her work in the film "Billy Bathgate" earned Kidman her first Golden Globe Award nomination, for "Best Supporting Actress". The following year, she and Cruise re-teamed for Ron Howard's Irish epic "Far and Away" (1992). In 1993, she starred in the thriller "Malice" opposite Alec Baldwin and the drama "My Life" opposite Michael Keaton. In 1995, Kidman appeared in her highest-grossing live-action film (as of 2011), playing Dr. Chase Meridian in the superhero film "Batman Forever". The same year Kidman appeared in Gus Van Sant's critically acclaimed "To Die For", earning praise, including winning her first Golden Globe for her portrayal of murderous newscaster Suzanne Stone Maretto. Kidman next appeared in "The Portrait of a Lady" (1996), based on the novel the same name. The following year she appeared in the action-thriller "The Peacemaker" (1997), opposite George Clooney. The same year she appeared opposite Sandra Bullock in "Practical Magic" as a modern-day witch. In 1999, Kidman reunited with then husband, Tom Cruise, to portray a married couple in "Eyes Wide Shut", the final film of Stanley Kubrick. After brief hiatus and a highly publicized divorce from Cruise, Kidman returned to the screen to play a mail-order bride in the British-American drama "Birthday Girl".

In 2001, Kidman appeared in two of her most critically and commercially successful films. In the first she played the cabaret actress and courtesan Satine in Baz Luhrmann's musical "Moulin Rouge!", opposite Ewan McGregor. Subsequently, Kidman received her second Golden Globe Award, for "Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comed"y, as well as other acting awards. She also received her first Academy Award nomination, for "Best Actress". Also in 2001, she had a well-received starring role in Alejandro Amenábar's Spanish horror film "The Others" as Grace Stewart. Grossing over $210,947,037 worldwide, the film also earned several Goya Awards award nominations, including a Best Actress nomination for Kidman. Additionally she received her second BAFTA and fifth Golden Globe nominations. In 2003, Kidman won critical praise for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry's "The Hours", which also featured Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore. The film earned positive notices and several nominations, including for an Academy Award for "Best Picture". Kidman won numerous critics' awards, including her first BAFTA, third Golden Globe, and the Academy Award for "Best Actress". As the first Australian actress to win an Academy Award! Following her Oscar win, Kidman appeared in three very different films in 2003. The first, a leading role in "Dogville", by Danish director Lars von Trier. The second was an adaptation of Philip Roth's novel "The Human Stain", opposite Anthony Hopkins. Her third film, Anthony Minghella's war drama "Cold Mountain", was a critical and commercial success. Kidman appeared opposite Jude Law and Renée Zellweger. The film garnered several award nominations and wins for its actors; Kidman received her sixth Golden Globe nomination at the 61st Golden Globe Awards for "Best Actress". In 2004 she appeared in the film, "Birth", which received controversy over a scene in which Kidman shares a bath with her co-star, 10-year-old Cameron Bright. Though the film received negative to mixed reviews, Kidman earned her seventh Golden Globe nomination, for "Best Actress – Motion Picture". That same year she appeared in the black comedy-science-fiction film "The Stepford Wives", a remake of the 1975 film of the same name. The following year, Kidman appeared opposite Sean Penn in the Sydney Pollack thriller "The Interpreter". Also that year, she starred in "Bewitched", based on the 1960s TV sitcom of the same name, opposite Will Ferrell. Both Kidman and Ferrell earned that year's Razzie Award for "Worst Screen Couple". Neither film fared well in the United States, with box office sales falling well short of the production costs, but both films performed well internationally. She made a reported US$14.5 million in 2004–2005. On People magazine's list of 2005's highest paid actresses, Kidman was second behind Julia Roberts, with US$16–17 million per-film price tag. Kidman portrayed photographer Diane Arbus in the biography "Fur" (2006), opposite Robert Downey, Jr..She also lent her voice to the animated film "Happy Feet" (2006). In 2007, she starred in the science-fiction movie "The Invasion" directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, a remake of the 1956 "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" that proved a critical and commercial failure. She also played opposite Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jack Black in Noah Baumbach's comedy-drama "Margot at the Wedding", released to positive reviews and earning Kidman a Satellite Award nomination for "Best Actress – Musical or Comedy". She then starred in the commercially successful fantasy-adventure, "The Golden Compass" (2007). In 2008, she reunited with Moulin Rouge! director Baz Luhrmann in the Australian period film "Australia". Kidman appeared in the 2009 Rob Marshall musical "Nine". The film received several Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations, and earned Kidman a fourth Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, as part of the Outstanding Cast. In 2010, she starred with Aaron Eckhart in the film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Rabbit Hole". Her work on "Rabbit Hole" earned her critical acclaim, and received nominations for the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. In June 2011, Kidman was cast in Lee Daniels' adaptation of the Pete Dexter novel, "The Paperboy". She co-starred in Park Chan-wook's "Stoker" (2013). In April 2012, various sources, including Variety, announced that Kidman was in talks to star in upcoming Grace Kelly biopic "Grace of Monaco". It was released in 2014.

Nicole has also two popular songs in U.k. Her collaboration with Ewan McGregor on "Come What May" peaked at No. 27 in the UK Singles Chart. Later she collaborated with Robbie Williams on "Somethin' Stupid", a cover version for Williams' swing covers album "Swing When You're Winning". It peaked at No. 8 in the Australian ARIAnet Singles Chart, and at No. 1 for three weeks in the UK!!!

She has been a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF since 1994. and for UNIFEM since 2006.

She has been married twice: previously to actor Tom Cruise, and currently to country singer Keith Urban. She has an adopted son and daughter with Cruise as well as two biological daughters with Urban.

Eight members had this incredible woman on their lists. Two of them gave a 10!

 

I have watched many of her movies because I'm a big fan of hers : Dead Calm (Very good movie/It has a lot of tension and suspense/Nicole was really good), Far and Away (One of my favourite movies of the 90's), Batman Forever (Quite good, I need to watch it again), The Peacemaker (Nice action film), Practical Magic (It wasn't a great movie but it's quite entertaining), Eyes Wide Shut (One of the most overrated films ever! Senseless), Moulin Rouge! (Great performances/nice story/amazing cinematography/the production design was suberb), The Others (One of my favourite movies of the last decade/Great horror-thriller film), Birthday Girl (I enjoyed it but I have to admit that it's a little bit weak), The Hours (Great perfromances, great cast), Dogville (One of my favourite movies of the last decade/The concept was f*ckin genius), The Human Stain (It wasn't bad but it's a little bit boring and static), Cold Mountain (Great performances, intriguing story), The Stepford Wives (Hollywood Alert!), Birth (Disappointing/ The kid was spoiled and unlikeable), The Interpreter (Decent Movie), Bewitched (It was funny in some parts but I prefer the Tv sitcom), The Invasion (Underwhelming), Australia (The cinematography is great but there's something missing), Nine (It isn't the best musical but it has some good singing parts), Rabbit Hole (Her performance was really great/Very emotional story), Just Go with It (I really enjoyed this movie. I laughed a lot. However, Nicole was nominated for "Worst Supporting Actress" that year), Before I Go to Sleep (Decent movie but its ending is full of clichés) and Grace of Monaco (The production design was very good, the photography was great but the story and Nicole's performance were full of clichés).

 

I would suggest you to watch : "Dead Calm" because it's definitely one of her best movies, "Far and Away" because she had chemistry with Tom Cruise (:P) and the story is quite good, "Moulin Rouge!" because it's one of the best musical ever and it defined the 00's, "The Others" because it's one of the most unpredictable horror/thriller films ever, "The Hours" because it was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the 00's, "Dogville" because it was one of the most riveting movies of the last decade, "Cold Mountain" because it has great cinematography and performances and "Rabbit Hole" because Nicole gave a briliant performance and you 'll recosinder your opinion about her..

I'll predict Meryl to win followed by Kate and Sandra. I want Kate to win even though all 3 are superb :wub:

 

I love Angelina Jolie. I love her characters in Kung Fu Panda and Shark Tale.

My favourite roles by her were in Wanted and Maleficent. Beowulf was bad though I really want to see Changeling and Unbroken

 

Marion is really good in the dark knight rises

Tilda is also really good especially in Narnia. Even though I didn’t love the film, I thought she was great in We Need To Talk About Kevin.

I adore Amy and I really hope she can finally win her deserved Oscar soon :wub: She was really good in Enchanted and Julia & Julia was a great film with a great performance by Amy, I felt I could really relate to her. I also liked her in Man Of Steel and Her. She was also good in the terrible Night At The Museum 2. My favourite role by her though was in The Muppets, she was so fun and great in that and I love her voice on Me Party.

 

Anne Hathaway is another amazing actress. The Devil Wears Prada is a classic and Bride Wars is so fun. I also love her in Alice In Wonderland, Dark Knight Rises [she’s an amazing Catwoman], Rio and Interstellar. I am so happy she won the Oscar for Les Miserables, she was so amazing in that.

 

I also love Helena Bonham-Carter. Her role in Alice In Wonderland was amazing, Sixty Six is really good and her voice role in Wallace and Gromit was great. I also loved Les Miserables, Dark Shadows and The Lone Ranger

 

Charlize Theron, Julia Roberts and Cate Blanchett are all really good. Of the latter’s films, I love Veronica Guerin, Hot Fuzz, Ponyo, Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Hobbit, Monuments Men and How To Train Your Dragon 2. I didn’t like Elizabeth: The Golden Age though. My favourite Blanchett role is Hanna, her villain in that was so good and compelling. Julianne Moore is also really good, especially in What Maisie Knew, Non-Stop and Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.

 

Nicole Kidman is great. I really want to see Moulin Rouge and The Interpreter. I hated Bewitched though [one of the worst films I’ve ever seen]. I thought she was great in Stoker and I loved her acting in it :wub:

 

Jennifer Lawrence is definitely one of my favourite new actresses and I need to watch Winters Bone and House At The End Of The Street soon [i have both of them on record]. Her performances as Katniss are stunning and I absolutely adore Silver Linings Playbook [especially Jennifer’s performane]

I believe that "Blue Jasmine" is the best movie of Cate Blanchett. Woody Allen offered her a very special character. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. You have to watch "Moulin Rouge!" I'm sure that you will love it.

Kate Winslet

 

http://imagenes.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/kate-winslet-by-robert-erdmann-filmmakeriqcom-1419274628ng84k.jpg

 

Kate Winslet is one of my favourite actress ever! She was my second favourite actress in my list. I'm so glad that she is in the Top 3! She is one of the most charismatic British actresses and she is one of the most important actresses of her generation. I have watched many of her movies and she is always good. I totally loved her when I watched "Titanic" in the cinema 16 years ago. I'm still one of her fans and I'm glad that some Buzzjack members voted her too! Kate Winslet is an English actress and singer. Winslet began studying drama at the age of 11 at the Redroofs Theatre School. At the age of 12, Winslet appeared in a television advertisement directed by filmmaker Tim Pope for Sugar Puffs cereal. Winslet's acting career began on television, with a co-starring role in the BBC children's science fiction serial "Dark Season". In 1992, Winslet attended a casting call for Peter Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures" in London. Winslet auditioned for the role of Juliet Hulme, a teenager who assists in the murder of the mother of her best friend, Pauline Parker (played by Melanie Lynskey). The film included Winslet's singing debut, and her a cappella version of "Sono Andati", an aria from La Bohème, was featured on the film's soundtrack. The film was released to favourable reviews in 1994 and won Jackson and partner Fran Walsh a nomination for an Academy Award for "Best Original Screenplay". Winslet was awarded an Empire Award and a London Film Critics' Circle Award for "British Actress of the Year" for her performance. The following year, Winslet auditioned for the small but pivotal role of Lucy Steele in the adaptation of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility", featuring Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman. Budgeted at US$16.5 million ($25.5 million in current year dollars) the film became a financial and critical success, resulting in a worldwide box office total of $135 million ($208.9 million) and various awards for Winslet, winning her both a BAFTA and a Screen Actors' Guild Award, and nominations for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. In 1996, Winslet starred in both Jude and Hamlet. The latter garnered largely positive reviews and earned Winslet her second Empire Award.

In September 1996, Winslet began filming James Cameron's Titanic (1997), alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Gwyneth Paltrow, Claire Danes, and Gabrielle Anwar had been considered for the role; when they turned it down, Winslet campaigned heavily for it. She sent Cameron daily notes from England, and thanks to assistance from her agent Hylda Queally, Cameron eventually invited her to Hollywood for auditions. Cameron described the character as "an Audrey Hepburn type" and was initially uncertain about casting Winslet even after her screen test impressed him. After she screen tested with DiCaprio, Winslet was so thoroughly impressed with him, that she whispered to Cameron, "He's great. Even if you don't pick me, pick him." Winslet sent Cameron a single rose with a card signed "From Your Rose" and lobbied him by phone. "You don't understand!" she pleaded one day when she reached him by mobile phone in his Humvee. "I am Rose! I don't know why you're even seeing anyone else!" Her persistence, as well as her talent, eventually convinced him to cast her in the role. Against expectations, the film went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time, grossing more than $1.843 billion ($2.8 billion) in box-office receipts worldwide, and transformed Winslet into a commercial movie star. Subsequently, she was nominated for most of the high-profile awards, winning a European Film Award. (Wikipedia is totally the most enlightening encyclopedia on the internet)

"Hideous Kinky", a low-budget hippie romance film shot before the release of "Titanic", was Winslet's sole film of 1998. he next film Winslet starred in was "Holy Smoke!" (1999), featuring Harvey Keitel. That same year she voiced Brigid in the computer animated film "Faeries". Winslet appeared in the period piece "Quills" with Geoffrey Rush and Joaquin Phoenix, released in 2000. Well received by critics, the film garnered numerous accolades for Winslet, including nominations for SAG and Satellite Awards. In 2001's "Enigma", Winslet played a young woman who finds herself falling for a brilliant young World War II code breaker, played by Dougray Scott. Generally well-received, Winslet was awarded a British Independent Film Award for her performance. In the same year she appeared in Richard Eyre's critically acclaimed film "Iris", portraying novelist Iris Murdoch. Winslet shared her role with Judi Dench, with both actresses portraying Murdoch at different phases of her life. Subsequently, each of them was nominated for an Academy Award the following year, earning Winslet her third nomination. Also in 2001, she voiced the character Belle in the animated motion picture "Christmas Carol: The Movie", based on the Charles Dickens classic novel. For the film, Winslet recorded the song "What If", which was released in November 2001 as a single with proceeds donated to two of Winslet's favourite charities, the N.S.P.C.C. and the Sargeant Cancer Foundation for Children. A Europe-wide top ten hit, it reached number one in Austria, Belgium and Ireland, number six on the UK Singles Chart, and won the 2002 OGAE Song Contest. Her next film role was in the 2003 drama "The Life of David Gale". Following The Life of David Gale, Winslet appeared with Jim Carrey in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004). The film was a critical and financial success. Winslet received rave reviews for her Academy Award-nominated performance! Her final film in 2004 was "Finding Neverland". The film received favourable reviews and proved to be an international success, becoming Winslet's highest-grossing film since "Titanic" with a total of $118 million worldwide. n 2005, Winslet appeared in an episode of the BBC/HBO comedy series "Extras" by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant as a satirical version of herself. Her performance in the episode led to her first nomination for an Emmy Award. In "Romance & Cigarettes" (2005), a musical romantic comedy written and directed by John Turturro. She began 2006 with "All the King's Men", featuring Sean Penn and Jude Law. The film was critically and financially unsuccessful. Winslet fared far better when she co-starred in Todd Field's "Little Children". For her work in the film, she was honoured with a Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year from BAFTA/LA, a Los Angeles-based offshoot of the BAFTA Awards, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, and at 31, became the youngest actress to ever garner five Oscar nominations!!! She followed Little Children with a role in Nancy Meyers' romantic comedy "The Holiday", also starring Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black. The film became Winslet's biggest commercial success in nine years, grossing more than $205 million worldwide. Also in 2006, Winslet provided her voice for several smaller projects. In the CG-animated "Flushed Away".

In 2007, Winslet reunited with Leonardo DiCaprio to film "Revolutionary Road" (2008), directed by her husband at the time, Sam Mendes. Winslet was awarded a Golden Globe Award for "Best Actress" for her performance, her seventh nomination from the Golden Globes. Also released in late 2008, the film competed against Winslet's other project, a film adaptation of Bernhard Schlink's 1995 novel "The Reader", directed by Stephen Daldry and featuring Ralph Fiennes and David Kross in supporting roles. While the film garnered mixed reviews in general, Winslet received favourable reviews for her performance. The following year, she earned her sixth Academy Award nomination and went on to win the "Best Actress" award, the BAFTA Award for "Best Actress", a Screen Actors' Guild Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.

In 2011, Winslet headlined in the HBO miniseries "Mildred Pierce", a small screen adaptation of James M. Cain's 1941 novel of the same name, directed by Todd Haynes. Winslet won an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award for "Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film", and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie for her performance. Also in 2011, Winslet appeared in Steven Soderbergh's disaster film "Contagion". Winslet's other 2011 film project, Roman Polanski's "Carnage", premiered at the 68th Venice Film Festival. For her performance Winslet received a second nomination by the Hollywood Foreign Press that year. Her first 2013 release was "Movie 43", an independent anthology black comedy film that featured 14 different storylines, with each segment having a different director. In 2013, Winslet appeared in Jason Reitman's big screen adaptation of Joyce Maynard's 2009 novel "Labor Day", also starring Josh Brolin. For her performance, Winslet earned her tenth Golden Globe nomination for "Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama". Winslet then appeared in "Divergent" (2014), Neil Burger's film adaptation of the 2011 young adult novel by Veronica Roth. In late 2014, Winslet appeared alongside Matthias Schoenaerts in Alan Rickman's period drama "A Little Chaos". As of December 2014, Winslet has four upcoming projects. She has completed John Hillcoat's crime-thriller "Triple Nine", the second installment of the Divergent trilogy, entitled "The Divergent Series: Insurgent", in which she reprises her role of Jeanine Matthews, and Jocelyn Moorhouse's "The Dressmaker" based on the novel of same name, in which she stars as a femme fatale. In addition, she is set to appear in Jesse Peretz's comedy-drama "Juliet, Naked", based on Nick Hornby's 2009 novel of the same name. Apart from her acting skills, Kate is an active person. In 2010, Winslet narrated a video for PETA, encouraging chefs to remove foie gras from their menus and asking consumers to boycott restaurants that serve it. She is a vegetarian. Winslet narrated the documentary "A Mother's Courage: Talking Back to Autism" in 2010. Her involvement in the documentary led to her founding the non-profit organisation, the Golden Hat Foundation, whose mission is to eliminate barriers for autistic people. In 2011, Winslet received the Yo Dona award for Best Humanitarian Work for her work with the Golden Hat! Divorced from the film directors Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes, Winslet is now married to the businessman Ned Rocknroll. She has three children. Eight members voted this amazing woman! Two of them gave a 10!

 

I have watched many of her movies so far : Titanic (E-P-I-C), Quills (Intriguing story, very good performances), Enigma (Decent movie), Iris (Emotional performances), The Life of David Gale (I really liked this film despite it received poor reviews/Thought provoking movie), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Alternative movie with interesting characters/ the script was quite good), Finding Neverland (One of my favourite movies that year/The performances were very good), The Holiday (Very sweet movie with pleasant performances), The Reader (One of my favourite movies that year/ Her performance was groundbreaking!), Revolutionary Road (Absorbing movie with powerful perfromances), Contagion (Very interesting story with incredible cast!) and Divergent (One of my favourite action films of the last year/ The story is very good).

 

I have to say that her majority of the films are very good. So, I would suggest you to watch "Titanic" because James Cameron did a great job, "Quills" because it was one of the best films of that year, "Iris" because it's a good movie about an important writer, 'The Life of David Gale" because it's a meaningful movie about death sentence, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" because it's one of the most riveting movies of the last decade, "The Holiday" because it's an enjoyable movie, "The Reader" because Kate gave her best performance so far, "Revolutionary Road" because it was one of the most critically movies of the last decade, "Contagion" because it's one of the best medical thrillers that I've ever watched and "Divergent" because it has a lot of action and intriguing story.

"The Actress Rate Results" will end this weekend. I know that it took me a lot of time to complete this. Please forgive me..However, "better late than never".. :P

The final battle is between Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep. One of them received 77 points and the other one received 75 points. Meryl is the "queen" of social/drama movies and Sandra is the "queen" of comedies and Hollywood movies. Who of them is the winner? I really love both of them. I have always loved Sandra and Meryl grew on me with her amazing talent! They are adorable!

Sandra was so close to win this rate..I know that some of you would be very disappointed if she won but Sandra proved that she could be a great actress when she really wants it. I really love this woman and I know many people who love her too. Sandra defines Hollywood comedies and some of them are really good. How could be cinema without Sandra..? Boring..She is very charismatic woman and she is a down to earth person although she is one of the most successful actresses ever! I'm one of her biggest fans but I havent's watched "The Blind Side" yet. It was never released in my country's cinema and I refused to watch it alone at my home..Maybe, I will watch it this year because I'm very curious for her performance. Sandra is an American actress and film producer. Bullock's father is from Birmingham, Alabama, and has English, Irish, German, and French ancestry, while Bullock's mother was German. Bullock was raised in Nuremberg, Germany for twelve years and grew up speaking German. Bullock studied ballet and vocal arts as a child, taking small parts in her mother's opera productions.Bullock attended Washington-Lee High School, where she was a cheerleader and performed in high school theater productions. After graduating in 1982, she attended East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, where she received a degree in drama in 1986. While at ECU, she performed in multiple theater productions, including "Peter Pan" and "Three Sisters." She then moved to Manhattan and supported herself as a bartender, cocktail waitress, and coat checker while auditioning for roles. While in New York, Bullock took acting classes with Sanford Meisner. She appeared in several student films, and later landed a role in an Off-Broadway play "No Time Flat". Director Alan J. Levi was impressed by Bullock's performance and offered her a part in the TV movie "Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman" (1989). This led to her being cast in a series of small roles in several independent films as well as in the lead role of the short-lived NBC television version of the film "Working Girl" (1990). She went on to appear in several films, such as "Love Potion No. 9" (1992), "The Thing Called Love" (1993) and "Fire on the Amazon" (1993). A prominent supporting role in the science-fiction/action film "Demolition Man" (1993) was followed by her breakthrough performance in "Speed" the following year. 'Speed" was a huge hit that took in $350 million at the box office worldwide, making it her second most successful picture to date. A string of successes during the mid-1990s included "While You Were Sleeping" (1995), for which she received her first Golden Globe Award nomination for "Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy", "The Net" (1995) and "A Time to Kill" (1996). Bullock received $11 million for "Speed 2: Cruise Control" (1997), which she agreed to star in for financial backing for her own project, "Hope Floats" (1998), and has revealed she regrets making the sequel. In 2000, Bullock starred in "Miss Congeniality", a financial success that took in $212 million at the box office worldwide, and received another Golden Globe Award nomination for "Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy". She was presented with the 2002 Raúl Juliá Award for Excellence for her efforts, as the executive producer of the sitcom "George Lopez", in helping expand career openings for Hispanic talent in the media and entertainment industry. The same year, she starred opposite Hugh Grant in "Two Weeks Notice" (2002). In 2004, Bullock had a supporting role in the film "Crash", which won the Academy Award for "Best Picture". She received positive reviews for her performance, with some critics suggesting that it was the best performance of her career. She later received a $17.5-million-salary for "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous" (2005). Although Bullock was reunited with her Speed co-star Keanu Reeves in the romantic drama "The Lake House", their film characters are separated throughout the film, so Bullock and Reeves were only on set together for two weeks during filming. The same year, Bullock appeared in "Infamous", playing author Harper Lee. Bullock also starred in "Premonition" with Julian McMahon, which was released in March 2007. The year 2009 proved to be especially good for Bullock, giving the actress two record highs in her career, as earlier in the year she released "The Proposal", with co-star Ryan Reynolds, a huge hit that took in $317 million at the box office worldwide, making it her third most successful picture to date. She received her third Golden Globe Award nomination for "Best Actress role for Motion Picture Musical or Comedy". In November 2009, Bullock starred in The Blind Side, which opened at #2 behind New Moon with $34.2 million, making it her second highest opening weekend ever. 'The Blind Side" is unique in that it had a 17.6% increase at the box office its second weekend, and it took the top spot of the box office in its third weekend. The film cost $29 million to make according to the Box Office Mojo. It grossed over $309 million, making it her domestic highest grossing film, her fourth highest grossing film worldwide, and the first one in history to pass the $200 million mark with only one top-billed female star. Bullock had initially turned down the role of Leigh Anne Tuohy three times due to a discomfort with portraying a devout Christian. She was awarded the Academy Award for "Best Actres", Golden Globe Award for "Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama", Screen Actors Guild Award for "Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role" and Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for "Best Actress". "The Blind Side" also received an Academy Award for "Best Picture" nomination. Winning the Oscar also gave Bullock another unique distinction—since she won two "Razzies" the day before, for her performance in "All About Steve" (2009), she is the only performer ever to have been named both "Best" and "Worst" for the same year (Only Sandra could have achieved this! :P). In 2011, Bullock starred in the drama "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" alongside Tom Hanks, a film adaptation based on the novel of the same name. Despite mixed reviews, the film was nominated for numerous awards, including an Academy Award for "Best Picture" nomination. Bullock was nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" by Georgia Film Critics Association and Best Actress Drama by Teen Choice Awards. She starred in the 2013 comedy film The Heat, alongside Melissa McCarthy. It received positive reviews from critics, and took in $230 million at the box office worldwide.Bullock also starred in the science fiction film "Gravity", opposite George Clooney. Gravity received universal acclaim among critics and a standing ovation in Venice. The movie was called "marvelous, the most realistic and the most beautifully choreographed movie ever set in space". Bullock's performance was praised, with some critics saying that "Gravity" is the best work of her career, and many calling her out as a major frontrunner for the Academy Award for "Best Actress". As of February 25, 2014, "Gravity", took in $715 million at the box office worldwide, making it Bullock's most successful picture to date. For her role as Dr. Ryan Stone, Bullock was nominated for the Academy Award for "Best Actress", Golden Globe Award for "Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama", BAFTA Award for "Best Actress in a Leading Role", Screen Actors Guild Award for "Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role" and Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for "Best Actress". By August 2014, Bullock was the highest earning actress in the movie business!

By 2009, Bullock's films had grossed over $3.1 billion worldwide. According to The Numbers, her total domestic gross stands at $1.7 billion, placing her among the Top 100 Stars at the Box Office. In addition to acting, Bullock is the founder of the production company Fortis Films. Apart from her success in cinema, Sandra is also noted for her philanthropic efforts. She has been a public supporter of the American Red Cross, having donated $1 million to the organization at least four times. Three years later, she sent money in response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunamis. In 2010, she donated $1 million to relief efforts in Haiti following the Haiti earthquake, and again donated the same amount following the 2011 Japan Earthquake. Along with other stars, Bullock did a public service announcement urging people to sign a petition for clean-up efforts of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Bullock backs the Texas non-profit organization The Kindred Life Foundation, Inc. In 2012, Bullock was inducted into the Warren Easton Hall of Fame for her donations to charities and in 2013 was honored with the Favorite Humanitarian Award at the 2013 People's Choice Awards for her contributions to New Orleans Warren Easton Charter High School, which was severely damaged after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. How could someone hate this lovely woman??? Seriously..

Sandra has the most fans in this rate. Eleven members voted this amazing woman although none of them gave a 10! However, three of them gave a 9!!!

 

I have watched many of her movies so far : Love Potion No. 9 (Quite funny), The Vanishing (Interesting script/It has suspense), Speed (Exciting action film, it's one of the movies which defined the 90's!), The Net (Quite good), A Time to Kill (One of my favourite movies of the 90's/Great drama film), In Love and War (Nice film), Speed 2: Cruise Control (The definition of the exagerration), Practical Magic (Watchable), Forces of Nature (I really enjoyed this movie, it has nice plot), 28 Days (I loved this movie although it didn't receive very good reviews), Miss Congeniality (Very funny with a lot of gags), Murder by Numbers (I liked this movie although it received negative reviews), Two Weeks Notice (Pleasant movie), Crash (One of the movies which defined the 00's), Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (It wasn't as funny as the first film), The Lake House (One of the best romantic movies of the 00's), Premonition (I didn't enjoy this movie when I watched it in the cinema/I was furious about personal things that day. I need to watch it again), The Proposal (Very entertaining movie), Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (One of my favourite movies that year), Gravity (Great movie/Sandra gave one of her best performances!).

Julia Roberts = One of my all time faves and always enjoy her performances = "Mystic Pizza" (wasn't the first of hers I'd seen, but watched this on TV many years ago and loved it, Julia's and plus the other 2 were fantastic, not over the top, just a nice watch), "Steel Magnolia's" (great movie and plus Julia dying at the end brought me to tears, so so sad), "Pretty Woman" (Iconic classic, seen it to death, but still loved it), "Flatliners" (great tense thriller, quite original storyline), "Sleeping With The Enemy" (okay this formula has been done to death, but still a great watch and her husband Patrick Bergin was menacing), "Dying Young" (to be honest never liked this, just too weepy for my liking), "Hook" (I actually like this, don't care what anyone says, Robin Williams is one of the alltime greats. "The Pelican Brief" (a good thriller and good turns), "I Love Trouble" (forgettable fluff), "My Best Friend's Wedding" (brilliant, a great comeback for Julia, plus great supporting turns from Cameron Diaz and Rupert Everett), "Conspiracy Theory" (quite decent thriller, but falls a bit flat in places and could have been better, still it was nice too see Mel Gibson in his prime, before he went racist and crazy), "Stepmom" (not one of her best to be honest, but nice enough), "Notting Hill" (very funny and brilliant), "Runaway Bride" (quite good but not great), "Erin Brockovich" (a brilliant role for her, well deserved Oscar), "The Mexican" (awful), "America's Sweethearts" (no chemistry, run of the mill fluff), "Ocean's Eleven" (overrated), "Mona Lisa Smile" (okay, could have been better, quite dull and lifeless), "Ocean's Twelve" (stupid and pointless, and Julia's role what was the point), "Valentine's Day" (too much going on), Mirror Mirror" (Loved her role in this, just excellent), "Larry Crowne" (terrible), "August Osage County" (brilliant turns from her and Meryl).
