bc we just know she's going to be great in this???


No. She'll just be lookin' hot in the tight black super-heroine outfit that has become the rage since Underworld.

BTW, she's a redhead in this one, too!

Portman's pretty strong too.


Portman is great, she achieved in Garden State what Durnst attempted in Elizabethtown. But, she was window dressing compared to Winslett's Clementine in Eternal Sunshine....

And as far as older actresses go, Meryl Streep seems to get even better with age. Her performance in Doubt was insane.


THE consumate actress of our time. Her "Julia Child" is amazing. This is a role that could easily become a joke because of Mrs. Child's unique mannerisms and speech patterns which have been parodied often...Dan Ackroyd...but Streep becomes Child...comlpletely believable.

You sure Swank shouldn't be in best Male Category?




First role I thought of actually.


Which simply goes to prove how good she is.

Paquin is HORRIBLE....HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.

By the way, Kate Winslet gets my vote. She comes through every time. A truly talented actress.

I find that Anna's portrayal of Sookie is whinier and less independent. But I don't have as many issues with her as Sookie compared to many of the fans.

As I am the original poster on this thread, based on the responses in this thread, I'd rank the "young" actresses like this:

1. Kate Winslet
2. Charlize Theron
3. Scarlett Johansson
4. Natalie Portman
5. Reese Witherspoon
6. Rose Byrne
7. Anne Hathaway
8. Rachel McAdams
9. Kiera Knightly
10. Anna Paquin

Hillary Swank is too old, and I'm not a fan
