Bambi,
Well, at the very least your award has a comprehensive list of catagories...my fave being the "wacked out old broad" section, awarded to Joanie Rivers...how this woman gets on television is beyond me...crude, rude, overated, overbearing, and offensive in the extreme (though all that surgery made her look better than ever, imo). JR's worst sins could be forgiven...if she were funny.
I've never thought Jerry Lewis was even slightly funny, but somehow he has lived long enough for me to forget
some of his "offenses" and to place him on the "icon" shelf. As John Huston (as Noah Cross in Chintown) said:
"Politicians, ugly buildings and old whores all get respectable if they last long enough."I couldn't agree more strong with your awards for DiCaprio Julia Roberts, etc...except Ken Branaugh??? What's he ever done to deserve the award (I'm actually asking, not defending him...I don't know his work that well).
My hope is that there is never another film made from a comic book or television show...who goes to see these things, anyway?
Dim bulb for Pierce Brosnan? Eh, okay, but doesn't that apply to many other pretty boy actors (especially B. Pitt)as well...I like Pierce, think he made a great James Bond, and congratlate him for being (imo) the best looking post-50 year old man working in films today. Pity about that latest film with J. Moore...but kudos for trying a comedy.
...and lastly, thank you for your Princess Di comments...I agree in the extreme, but have been shouted down many times on this subject, almost always by woman who have bought into this "artificial legend"...let her R.I.P.
Can you give out the awards at least quarterly...I enjoyed your choices.
All the best,
Gary
