But SHAME could change all of that.

His body of work simply blew me away this year. And his performance in SHAME is one of the best acting performances I've ever seen.

I'm just thankful that she exists.<br /><br />Also, I love Ryan Gosling!

I also haven't seen Marilyn, but i do like Michelle Williams (Meek's Cutoff was great). My runner-up for male would be Brad Pitt (superb in both ToL and Moneyball).<br /><br />@ Billie Beane - We think alike my friend. Thanks for reading.<br /><br />@ Ryan - Her breakout is something else. Came from nowhere and is now set to be a major talent. Pitt would have been my runner-up. His two films were superb.<br /><br />@ Ruth - Yeah, I was a little sad to see Carey matched - but I haven't seen SHAME yet!<br /><br />@ Anna - Boo! I thought she was a misfit in DRIVE initially, but on a second viewing I really bought her. I'm a fan, what can I say.<br /><br />@ Pete - You haven't seen DRIVE? Dude, you gotta get on it. He's awesome in it, and when you look at his work in The Ides of March, Blue Valentine, Half Nelson and even Crazy Stupid Love, the guy's got skills. I liked Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids, but that film was painful.<br /><br />@ Nikhat - Ohh I forgot about Elizabeth Olsen. If she had one other great role this year, she might have figured in the mix.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-706620015129313082012-01-01T06:02:05.347+11:002012-01-01T06:02:05.347+11:00Oh yeah Ryan Gosling FTW!

I'm not quite as wrapped up in Gosling as most yet but that's probably due to my complete and utter lack of seeing Drive.ilovethatfilmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882133059882238037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-58364054350083892272011-12-31T19:37:34.670+11:002011-12-31T19:37:34.670+11:00<3

I think she is going to be at the forefront for years to come. As for my male star of the year, I would have to go with Brad Pitt (although Gosling is up there). Pitt was great in Moneyball and The Tree of Life and he produced both of those films as well.Ryan Fernandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849610480857698067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-70946873184626853542011-12-31T12:21:07.280+11:002011-12-31T12:21:07.280+11:00Oh Jessica Chastain, take me away to a better plac...Oh Jessica Chastain, take me away to a better place!<br /><br />Nice choices.Billy Beanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-38288870231497625722011-12-31T12:01:59.799+11:002011-12-31T12:01:59.799+11:00Wow... let's see.

On the acting side, it's a tie between Ryan Gosling and Michael Fassbender as both actors had an incredible year as they're my top picks for Best Actor & Top Man-Crushes.<br /><br />On the actress side, Michelle Williams is once again, in the lead for Best Actress while I also have a tie of sorts between Carey Mulligan and Jessica Chastain in the Supporting Role.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
