I HATE Gerard Butler, and I blame it on PS I love You. Although to be fair, I hated the book as well, and only went to watch it because of Jeffrey Dean Morgan. But Butler in that movie was all kinds of terrible, to compound how terrible the movie was.

Ted Danson v Orlando Bloom - neither really deserve it over some already knocked out, but overall I've preferred Bloom's films.
Roger Moore v Gerard Butler - the master of eyebrow acting.
Zooey Deschanel v Audrey Hepburn - Zooey's been in some good films, but she can only ever wish to in the same league as Hepburn.
Demi Moore v John Travolta - again, I'd choose others already knocked out over either of these, but reluctant vote here.

I liked her in Elf

It's more I wouldn't be a fan of Audrey Hepburn's films than anything else.  I'm sure she was a great actress, but what few films of hers I've seen I hated.

I love Zooey in Almost Famous, one of my favourite films of all time, though she's only got a small part in it.

What Audrey films have you seen that you hated? She's been in some of my other favourite films of all time too.

If you don't like romance comedy, try Wait until dark for something different.
I wouldn't be much into the rom coms myself but Audry over Zooey is a no brainer for me.

Again 4 pretty decisive winners with John Travolta the only one to get 11. 

Our next batch includes the thrice nominated big hitters Emma Watson & Bruce Willis. Who will go furthest?

Not one of the twins (Mary-Kate and Ashley) but their younger sister.

Interesting fact: though they are virtually indistinguishable the twins are actually fraternal and not identical twins.
