margot robbie and adam driver

Good list but also for me it is almost criminal that don't put Anthony Hopkins on the list.

If it wasn’t a particular order all your picks are nice.

Nonsense list

How come Brad Pitt is not on the list?

Jennifer Lawrence is very over-rated.

I do not desagree but keep in mind that they are basing this on work this decade

Straight up

@@evilcow1943 it's since 2001.. not decade

Fucking facts.

Can you be a little more specific, would be constructive. thanks

You didn't include a lot more deserving actor's in your top 20 list or even mention them like Morgan freeman, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and Garry Oldman should be atleast in the top 10

They didn’t add brad Pitt???!! Bullshit really? I gotta see this video

Al pacino, Robert Di Nero, Joe Pesci

Where's Andrew garfield

and Tom Hardy,Christian Bale, and Heath ledger

thats exactly what i thought.

Who tf is Lupita Nyongo

Denzel Washington and Cate Blanchette--perfection! They floor me.

Agreed.

"Say my name" is from 'Blade Runner' !

This isn't a ranking So It's acceptable

Im glad he appeared, but a lot of his work was last century.

Sirius Black, Commissioner Gordon, Winston Churchill....come on, Gary Oldman should absolutely be ranked in the top 10 at the least

There is zero doubt he belongs. However, most of the roles mentioned here I didn't really find compelling. Gordon is a terribly boring character, and anyone can and has played it. On the other hand, Drexl from True Romance.......would love to see some of the other guys who've been Gordon try pulling that off......fav quote for Drexl, a white gangsta when he and his muscle are attacked by Slater's "Clarence"....."Musta thought it was white boy day"....."yo, it aint white boy day today is it?" Then the murderous, drug addicted DEA guy in The Professional.

Yeah, After 34 yrs I heard cut! And realized that I was Gary Oldman playing as me all along

I think he already cemented his place in the 1990s

@@levykatzman842 it says best actor of the century not decade. 100 years is a long time

He absolutely should be on this list. Serious question; what shady stuff has he done? I tried to google but couldn't find anything.

@@WWEVersion8 he should not be on this list. He's a pedophile dude...I was just saying it's for the greatest actor of the century not decade. Tom hanks is a creep

Hanks best work came from the 80's/90's, if this was best of all time list then he would be here no doubt.

But Margot Robbie and Lupita Nyongo are on there. Such an idiotic list.

This list is absolute shat that's why

I always like how in every movie he’s in he’s basically the same character lol

@@Victor-cr3xi Ya he's himself in different timelines

He's gonna be one of the most known actors 100 years from now if people watch old movies then.

Morgan Freeman

He’s definitely something else. I do adore him.

His role as Commodus in Gladiator needed to be mentioned!

he was also excellent in m night shymalan's signs.

Yeah it's a tragedy but I respected him when he played as JR Johnny Cash in Walk The Line.

His brother was Amazing as well R.I.P.💕

@@AveGoddess but Joaquin eclipsing him

he plays the same character in every movie besides public enemies

@@Twisteditup oh yeah, the overconfident always drunk Pirate, the Shy Boy with Scissorhands who rarely talks and the dead serious Magician. Same as always

@@oliverbruns4069 charlie, rango, jack sparrow, mat hatter are all the same character 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@Twisteditup well its true that these are pretty similar, but still those are 4 roles in about 90-100 movies he played in. And you can pretty confidently say that nearly no other actor could have played those roles as good as him.

Depp is a great actor, but this century, I think he's been mostly unremarkable.

Meh

@@dekarmeryalmar8774 you honestly should have kept your opinion to yourself heath ledger was a damn good actor and it's extremely disrespectful for you to disrespect his memory especially to a fan of his

@@X-Gaming2003 lol i was a good joker and thats about it

@@splytlyckety At the end of the day that is all that really matters since his portrayal of that role is so memorable and legendary

@@X-Gaming2003 you know buddy...why so serioussssaaa?

Yeah, like wtf is this list. Gary Oldman is goated

Gary Oldman is a fantastic actor indeed. Criminal offense that he wasn't even mentioned

someone's lying to you - WHAT.. seriously Gary oldman he's is just an alright actor thats it

Goes without saying I suppose.

@@magdaghirma i love this part! Hahaha

Best performance ever

Oh hi Ramiro!

YOU ARE TEARING ME APART WATCHMOJO !!

He’s a great Batman and Bateman

it's really between him and michael keaton as the best batman

He still is the best batman but really can’t say pattinson might be better than him

People will have different opinions on batman, but he is best ever Bruce Wayne period.

Should've been on top 5 along with mccounaghey!!

For sure, she's a great actor; but for the century she should have been in the lower half of the list. Considering great actors such as Alan Rickman whose sinister Role as Prof. Snape; The likes of Matt Damon who had a great two decades with killer roles like the Bourne series, Good will hunting and a whole other lot of movies. Even among lady actors I'm surprised that she also came ahead of actors like Rosamund Pike and the likes of Meryl Streep. Also seeing Denzel so low on the list is just scary. Denzel Washington! Even the son is just a testament of his greatness as an actor.

I'm also Kenyan so I'm hella proud of Lupita, but for this list. We are appreciating great actors for sure. Even Jamie Fox not being on the list and Rami Malek...Anyways, looking forward to a top 50 list. And please take your time. But the Mahershala Ali nod was awesome!! The guy was phenomenal in the Greenbook

She's ranked way to high in this list

Adam Driver is so much better of an actor. To have her over Chadwick Bozeman is also a crime.

Totally agree, is at the same level of Tony Colette. Both are amazing!!

Agreed. Little to no makeup and was able to become absolutely monstrous with just a look

Tbh I feel like she was put in there only because watchmojo needed to add some colour to the list and put a black actress, and who better the the black FEMALE Lupita. I'm not taking anything away from her, she's a great actress from the films I've seen her in but really there's only been few to mention. Even with Chadwick boseman I feel they only added him because of fans love for him, they knew if he wasn't mentioned then clueless marvel fans would rage in the comment, he was great but he kinda mostly got his spotlight from ONE movie. Rip to him but watchmojo are a little silly for this list, Morgan freeman, Denzel Washington, Jamie Fox or even Samuel L Jackson would've been more reasonable, shit even The Rock would be beter. Also just putting it put there but I feel Jonny Depp should bd on the list and not an honourable mention

@@johnzgambo9818 well The Rock should have been on the list, at least in honorable mentions. I think the guy is the best payed actor at the moment and he gave us some more than decent movies

@@Phantom-kf6bp he isn’t a good actor he’s a good character/performer, he is always himself but knows how to put on a show.

@@Phantom-kf6bp hes not a good actor

@@Phantom-kf6bp Best-paid doesn't equal good...The Rock's a nice guy and all, but acting-wise, come on...there's FAR more talented and nuanced than him. I don't even think he himself would say he deserved to be included in the list

Um they were more focused on actors from the 21st century it wasn’t of all time

lawrence olivier

Daniel Day Lewis?

Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Mel Gibson, Samuel Jackson

Chris Evans, Mark Hamil, Jack Black, RDJ, Gwendolyn Christie, Benedict Cumberbatch, Cree Summer.

I think specifically they meant careers that began in this era. Robert De Niro, Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich etc. are all still acting but aren’t on the list. That said, this is shit list anyway.

@@samtheman123 True. But then you get into specifics that half the actors on the list made their breaks and got nominations in the 90s anyway. Leo with What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Titanic were massive for him. So they need to be consistent.

i am assuming it is based on performances THIS century meaning 2000 onwards so tom hanks and meryl streep not inside... but still yeah i agree the list is shit and there are many more that should have been in this list..

I have Denzel Washington in my top five of all time.

Literally!!

And don’t you think Jake Gyllenhaal should be easily top 10 or 5?

@@samtheman123 maybe top ten. I'm not a big fan of his movies except for donnie darko and nightcrawler

Denzel is my number 1. My dude has literally played EVERYTHING except maybe a superhero.

So many ppl haven't seen that show and it's a travesty. Arguably the greatest piece of film iv laid eyes on

Seriously, I thought they really hired a mentally handicapped kid in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I'm not kidding...

Yes very true. Criminal that Lupita Nyongo was high on the list but Seymour Hoffman wasn't on it at all.

I 👍

christopher waltz is very 1 dimensional, he acts the same in every role. denzel washington is better, and #14 is a good spot for him considering there are so many great actors. what is wrong however is the questionable placement of so many less talented actors above denzel in this list, that is definitely wrong.

Oh mostly definitely! Him, Denzel, Cate Blanchett…should have been top 10.

Literally my thoughts!

Facts!

i kept waiting for her to show up! scar jo is on here, but not meryl?

100 pc agree

Meryl Streep has cemented herself before 2000. This is for new actors and some older actors who got awarded just recently.

@@alvinanil6996 that's a fucking joke how did daniel day lewis get here then?or gary oldman for that matter?

Not even mentioned Meryl were they asleep ???

@@SmartIndian_7337 that's not true

I disagree he don't show in my opinion lot of emotions

I agree hes my crush

@@boydriceisawesome2520 so he's emotionless in The Wolf of Wall Street. Lol I hardly disagree on that and I'm sure everyone does. What kind of emotion he should've bring for his movies? Most of his character was well written and he gave a phenomenal performance with it

@@boydriceisawesome2520 then u have no brain 😂😂fr bro wth u saying

@@Bjork4s Dicaprio always gets overshadowed by other actors in his movies. Dicaprio is the Derek Jeter of actors amazing actor but overrated by his fans. Everytime I watch his movies I can always tell that its Dicaprio playing a role. He doesnt become his characters the way other actors can so I am not sure about the statetment that no other actors can play the characters Dicaprio has played.

& Bradley Cooper, Andrew Garfield, Benedict Cumberbatch

I would add andrew garfield on there

@@siddharthverma8975 Good actors

@@alphadoge8639 I like him

u guys are aware that the purpose of great lists is to NOT add everyone. Those above are good, but among the greatest? No. I'd be tempted to leave Viggo on, and maybe McDormand on the top 20 female list. Farrell though? really, and Jackman?

pretty good list. I feel like willem dafoe doesnt get enough credit. people think of him as that creepy villain dude but he is so much more than that. his range is great.

I was waiting for someone to mention Toni. Thanks! She is amazing in everything.

@ztmusic Thanks!

@@jchur7128 You’re welcome!

LIFESAVER!

Where is Brad fu*king Pitt?

Having Margot Robbie on there at all let alone above most of those names makes the list a complete joke.

FR!!

I mean, he's really the only actor in this century where everyone was really desperate for him in winning an Oscar. That's to show how legendary he is as an actor

@@Bjork4s It is wild that it took as long as it did tbh

I was betting on Tom Hanks, and he didn’t even get on the list, which is a shame

@Jason Mistretta Tom Hanks has also done outstanding performances in this century, in movies such as Cast Away, Captain Phillips, Sully, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Bridge of spies. He deserves to be on the list in my opinion

@@Daniel-vb9oj and number 1

Maybe the should have a male and a female list..

Agreed! Im happy, but feel like he should have been a little higher on the list. The director’s he’s worked with talk about him like he’s a wet dream. I’m sure he is highly sought after in Hollywood right now. I fell in awe of him back when he was in girls. Like, who is this strangely intense and charismatic dude who I can’t tear my eyes away from?

It would’ve been so great Sad that it won’t be able to happen now; Hoffman passed away & Day-Lewis retired

Agreed

Hoffman was 🔥

Lewis to

Rip hoffman

margot robbie is fucking swamp ass levels of porn acting. congrats to her for getting wolf of wall street role cos she was the hottest blonde willing to get naked on screen. she did a pretty good job too but her harley quinn is just the cringiest diarrhoea i've ever seen and she never deserved anything past her biggest lucky breaks from neighbours and wolf of wall street. completely forgettable in her last leo movie though, only reason she got that was cos tarantino wanted to see her feet before he retired not even top 10 aussie actors of last year, or any year she had a big movie come out, let alone of this century, or even decade. never a top 10 aussie actor even after wolf of wall street, its just a clear and cut 1 off. 1 trick ponies dont earn a spot like that even if straya's population is a lot smaller and theres always way less big actors. congrats to her for somehow filling a niche as popular as "typical hot blonde actress" in 2 big leo movies 6 years apart in roles that required and asked for exactly that and nothing more, being hot and blonde, to which she fulfilled the roles adequately at best maybe top 10 highest earning aussie actor, in some years. maybe top 10 highest gross earnings for the movies that she was in compared to other aussies, yes. but for acting quality.......come on now.......

@@TraXXXtar I agree about Margot being overrated. I would argue that Blanchett, Collette and Ledger are all better and are too low on this list imo. Also Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman are all better than Margot imo and have more experience

@@TraXXXtar Agreed, she is a shit actress.

I love All those Aussie Actors💚 Toni Collette especially for "Muriel's Wedding". Cate Blanchett for "Blue Jasmine" for Sure! & Gotta Love Heath Ledger for "Brokeback Mountain". & Margot Robbie is AMAZING in "I Tonya"💕 I've got a face-tattoo of a heart on my cheek by my eye just like Harley Quinn's 💖😁💋

I was thinking the same.we have some good actors

I feel like he’s still on his way up in terms of establishing his reputation to the mainstream.

Joaquin was and is amazing as Author Fleck/Joker the film Joker is a masterpiece.

AGREED I FUCKING LOVE BRYAN CRANSTON!! He is SOOOO GOOD! At acting and as a person!

He is the one who knocks

I loved him also on Trumbo which was a great movie overall.

Oscars are known to be very political..

I bet my mother he would be number 1

Almost ? I have yet to see Emma Stone give a bad performance.

Bruh shes a mild actress that has a decent career. It doesnt mean she has to be in a top 20 list

He was amazing in the imitation game and Sherlock

His performance in the miniseries Patrick Melrose is astonishing and heartbreaking. It's only 5 episodes so you can easily knock it out in a single afternoon.

Man is pure talent.

I commented on that also. He has three movies out right now that really show his range. He can do the big blockbuster. He can play the multilayered villain. And he can play a very emotionally damaged and sweet person. I don’t think there is a single person on this list who is that prolific and so good at everything that he does.

Came here to mention him!! His role in Sherlock and Patrick Melrose alone are just enough to put him there, maybe (unpopular comment coming) they could have remove Chadwick, sadly he hasn’t been around long enough to prove the vast variety that others in the list had

😂😂😂😂😂 okay then 🤡

No, they had to get their ordered percentage of woman and black people on the list. White mens gots to go. Add Tom Hardy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Michael Shannon, and Russell Crowe to that list.

Literally the exact list I thought was missing minus Matt Damon(he's amazing though, just didn't come to mind).

Benedict dumber watch is an honorable mention yes brad Pitt definitely but Tom cruise mostly and only does action movies

@@neverastraightanswer9802 bendict dumber watch u thought yoy were gonna say hes bad

@@neverastraightanswer9802 You're wrong. Tom has been in many excellent movies.

daniel Plainview was such a dense character, I feel like he may be the only person that could have done it. maybe phillip Seymour Hoffman could have done it also but daniel day lewis was perfect.

James Gandolfini > all tv performance

In my opinion: Best Movie Performance - Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler Best TV performance - Aaron Paul in Breaking Bad

IMO Best movie performance: Ralph fiennes- Schindlers list Best TV performance: Lena headey - game of thrones And the awards should be ashamed that neither of them got a single award for those iconic roles which possibly can’t be done by anyone else.

IMO Best male leading movie performance: Daniel Day Lewis- There will be blood supporting actor performance: Anthony Hopkins- Silence of the Lambs Best female leading movie performance: Kathy Bates- Misery supporting actress performance: Cate Blanchett- The Aviator Male lead tv performance: James Gandolfini- The Sopranos Male supporting tv performance: Aaron Paul- Breaking Bad Female lead tv performance: Elizabeth Moss- Handmaid's Tale Female supporting tv performance: Anna Gunn- Breaking Bad

Or Tom Hanks or Dwayne Johnson
