A film is
its actors. A film is good because of actors that are inherently good or those
brought to a state of goodness when gifted with a smart script and guided by a canny director. Actors are the paint on the canvas, a major determinant
of how we react to what we see on screen.
The
celebrated actors are lauded enough; Meryl Streep has no need for another
nomination. It is the ones who have quietly elevated their films that deserve
to be recognized more, their names shouted from roof tops (my throat has been
sore screaming “Marion Cotillard!” for months now). And so, as before, I have
created a list of those whose work has shone for me during the past year. They are
listed in the order of my regard for their work. And I have not limited my
recognition to a fixed number in each category. Why not spread the love?
