I thought we could put this up as our forum bafta awards for favourite actor/actress and a duet of two actors/actresses.
on the top of my list I have two and in a particular order of age differencesfor the first two I have:
Robert De Niro
Johnny Depp
then the duet has to go to:
Clarck Gable and Vivien Leigh for their spectacular performance of a the most appealing couple on the big screen.
It is Cher for me, she is soo very good in any role she stars in.
"Moonstruck" is one of my favourites.

Gary Oldman
Kevin Spacey
Tim Roth
tie between them
Mia Wasikowska (I have seen her in three movies and she is good, but mainly because a few people have said I look like her(never been compared to an actress before, it got to my head))
Actors of late. I leave out many non Anglo and North Americian actors.
Ryan Gosling
Kate Winslet
Daniel Day Lewis
Edward Norton (could do more movies)
John Malokovitch
Bill Nighy
Anthony Hopkins
Tom Wilkinson
Robert de Niro
Lots. But if I had to name only two:
Male: Jeremy Brett
Female: Bette Davis
I've got lots of favourites, but the clear winners in my mental BAFTAs are Sir Ian McKellan and Dame Judi Dench.
McKellan, in particular, I regard as the greatest living actor, and the best since Olivier himself.
Daniel Day-Lewis is probably my favourite actor. My favourite "duet" is Tom Hanks and Robin Wright-Penn in the film Forest Gump. But if you had not picked Clarke Gable and Vivien Leigh and I had not the need to say something different I probably would have picked them. Gone With The Wind is one of the ultimate cinematic experiences of all time.
Hi Darcy88 glad to hear you like Gable and Leigh too :pQuote:

Can't think of a duet ATM
Man this is hard for me. Al Pacino and Robert de Niro are generic faves but John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, Liam Neeson in Schindler's List, and Lee J Cobb in 12 Angry Men are stand-outs as well.
I'll also throw my hat in for Daniel Day Lewis. The man is absolutely brilliant, and his performance in There Will Be Blood is easily one of the best of all time. I can't wait to see him as Abraham Lincoln.
James Dean

Of-course my two favorite comedians are Toto and Alberto Sordi. Toto was a very cultured man and even composed some poetry. Many people would say these two are the finest Italy has ever had.

Cillian Murphy is my ultimate favorite. He's perfect, the sickly complexion, the eerie pale eyes, the dark hair, the off-putting smile, just perfect.

Adrian Brody is my second favorite, I like his performances and his look so much that I don't even care that he's a guido street racer in real life.

Oh yeah, also, I'm kind of obsessed with John Simm's version of The Master. Seriously I have three pictures of him in my bedroom.

My favorite actor of all time is Cary Grant. He was extremely versatile, handsome, charming and had a great smile. An excellent comedian, a dreamboat leading man. He was the first actor in Hollywood to go free-lance and have the freedom to pick his own movies.
I just love Helen Mirren.
