Ascending Men. Future Women

Men
The Top 100 Actors of the Aughts Countdown continues with spots #90 through #85. Cheadle, Giamatti, Roache and more. Comment here if the numbers alarm you, feel about right, or surprise you.

Women
The previous poll at the site, regarding women most likely to follow Reese to clutch that coveted Oscar statue, has ended with just over a 1000 votes counted. Two 4 time Oscar nominees led.

28% of you rallied around Kate Winslet and 10% chose Julianne Moore as future Best Actress winners. In a rather strong third place showing 7% of you picked Nicole Kidman envisioning a second trophy. Y'all are crazy. She's just no Sally Field or Hilary Swank! (I joke. I joke.) Fourth place went to Oscar perennial Meryl Streep whose assumed third statue is a long time in coming now. Fighting it out for 5th place were Naomi Watts, Natalie Portman, Rachel McAdams, Scarlett Johansson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, and "other". Naomi had a slight lead. Judging on this poll, readers suspect that longtime Oscar losers MIchelle Pfeiffer and Joan Allen will continue to be jipped of Hollywood's biggest trophy.
