Oh man, only 1 of the 16 left is an actress and that actress beat another actress in Round 1 (Mirren over Dench).

Joaquin and Philip is a tough matchup, the rest is all pretty easy to me.

Even if you say ability is equal, I think Hoffman has a pretty significant edge in filmography.

Hoffman has been part of the more in vogue parts of Hollywood for longer, but I'm really not sure I prefer his filmography overall. If you look at the last 10-12 years, I prefer Phoenix's choices.

Who do people think was better in The Master?

That faceoff is the most interesting thing to me by far about this film - otherwise didn't like it that much. But Phoenix for me, one of the reasons I voted for him on the poll.

Can't see how DDL doesn't take this.

Yeah, for some reason Hoffman has been oddly quiet the last 6 years or so. Not one memorable film role from him during that time.....

Hoffman died in 2014, so a little hard for him to make movies these days..

Oh, your insight is impressive.

Need someone who hasn't voted to respond with a tie breaking vote for Duvall vs. Penn

No one is stepping up so I say just give it to Penn.

 

[Trap Jesus]

No one is stepping up so I say just give it to Penn.

If no one steps up by the end of tonight I'll go with Duvall via a higher % of votes in the last round. I would have gone with Penn as well.

Either way, they're not going to get through Nicholson. I might have considered Penn, but would have ended up voting for Jack anyway.
