Greatest Actor Tournament Qualifier #3

[Favre4Ever+ 4,476]

So the nominating for our Greatest Actor Tournament is complete. I have tallied the votes, and all together we had 170 participants. Even though I definitely want a large and inclusive tournament, I feel like we do need to slim it down some.

With that said, we are going to have a number of qualifier polls. Any nominee that got at least two votes (90 in total) has been sorted and seeded. They are officially safe and will be moving on to the full tournament to claim the title of TGP's Greatest Actor.

Those nominees that failed to get at least two votes (80 in total) are going to be thrown into the qualifier polls. If they beat an opponent in the qualifier, they will receive another single vote, giving them two and official entry into the tournament. Which means we will begin the full tournament with 130 participants when all is said and done.

Just because these actors only got one vote, doesn't mean they will be easy or boring matchups though. You can make an argument for most, if not all of these actors to carry on. They are going to be paired up simply in twos by earliest mention. Kinda sucks, and definitely not the fairest, but if you have a problem... Well, you should have voted for them in the nomination thread and they wouldn't be in the qualifier to begin with.

With that said.... I give you.... Qualifier #3

Angelina Jolie -- Vaughn being nominated makes me sick to my stomach.

 

Ben Affleck -- Probably the hardest matchup for me in this qualifier. I probably shouldn't have but Affleck's writing / directing work played a role in my decision. And his recent performances have stuck moreso than anything I can think Keaton has done.

 

Alan Rickman -- Generally one of the most underrated actors in this tournament, IMO.

Sean Bean -- I am slightly biased I suppose.. But the scene i posted here with Bean is probably one of my favorites of him. Can't say no.

Julianne Moore -- Also really tough, both great actors in their own right. Mostly a coin flip.
