Since I don't have a 2007 awards when I started this, I think it's time to do it before the next Oscars come along.

For those who dunno how it works, we will start with the 20 Acting Nominees. Each round, you will vote off the nominee that you think least deserved to win or you don't want to move on to the next round. We will continue until we are left with the Final 2 and crowned the winner.

Anyway, the 20 nominees are:

George Clooney - Michael Clayton
Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood
Johnny Depp - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Tomm Lee Jones - In The Valley of Elah
Viggo Mortenson - Eastern Promises
Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Julie Christie - Away From Her
Marion Cotillard - La Vie En Rose
Laura Linney - The Savages
Ellen Page - Juno
Casey Affleck - The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Javier Bardem - No Country For Old Men
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Charlie Wilson's War
Hal Holbrook - Into the Wild
Tom Wilkinson - Michael Clayton
Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There
Ruby Dee - American Gangster
Saoirse Ronan - Atonement
Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone
Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton

The lines are opened. You can start the voting now! Remember, vote for the nominee that you don't want in the competition.

Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton

I even liked Ruby Dee better! Not that she's not a good actress...she is...but seriously...the whole rest of the movie was much better than she was.

I respectfully disagree JayDF, I thought Swinton was the best thing about Michael Clayton and the best nominee that year.

Ruby Dee gets my vote

There was nothing award-worthy about Charlie Wilson's War and I love Mike Nichols!


Philip Seymour Hoffman out.

Ruby Dee suffered from a lack of screentime, but at least when she was on, she was on.
