WOW - that's a TOUGH one! I am just delighted though, that Gerard is getting SOME recognition for his incredible work in '300' !!
ReplyDeleteHe definately wins for 'best abs' !
If 'put to it' though, I'd have to say that James' performance as 'Robbie' would come out on top, simply for the flawless depiction of such a wide range of emotions.
I had to vote for James too. Gerard was the perfect leader in 300; I'd follow him anywhere, but James was just brilliant in Atonement. He made me cry so hard at the end of that movie.
