The top 4 are women? Wow! :D
Women are better at acting than men. Well, at least I think they can hide they're acting better. The problem I have with too many actors is that they don't seem natural on screen. They have power and strength but no matter how good they are or "in character" I'm fully aware they are acting. Women have an ability to just fade in to characters. Plus, actresses are in touch with a character's vulnerability more than an actor. You can feel for them regardless of the situation (see top 4.)
And yes, Ang, that's why I knew you'd love the list. Go Nic! Four spots! I'm surprised she also didn't get in for The Others.
