Do you have something against Holly Valance? Look... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590960/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1460646/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1351186/ 3 upcoming movies where she is credited as "top billed cast". Yep, it's a bit different in that sense, you can find some ugly actresses while it's harder to find any ugly models.

Crying for sympathy crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone... I'd put Milla Jovovich on both, the rest are OK. And as for Olga Kurylenko, I have written 1,238 times (+1 now) I still don't understand why she isn't in the actresses subforum. I didn't see her on the MODELS contest either, but as many people told me she is a model we included her in the last one. And there's another dilemma, singer or actress or both... Beyoncé Vanessa Hudgens Hilary Duff Jennifer Lopez Holly Valance ...they all have been in the ACTRESSES contest and in that MUSICIANS' one we did some months ago.

Oh OK, you got me... :trout: I didn't know if you were serious or not so just in case...

Don't do that, I was joking, people will complain. Count yours twice instead, at least you're the one in charge here.

As you didn't get the last vote you can count mine twice...

She's number 11 in the credits for that film whereas Yamila is number 2 for her film with much more lines of dialogue. Take another of Josie's films "The Aviator" - I haven't seen that film but she's 28th in the credits for that one and is "Cigarette Girl" - I doubt she had much dialogue/did a lot of acting in that. So I still think she didn't act as much (say as much lines of dialogue) in all her films as Yamila did in hers. I think they both should be in the competition if it's fair. Well, you can check only 225 people have rated Yamila's movie on the IMDb, while "The Gravedancers" has been rated more than 4,000 times, and "Van Helsing" 68,000 times. The position where you are listed in a movie many times is simply alphabetically. Josie is also listed 2nd in "The Gravedancers", she had the main role there if I am not wrong. But anyway, you can forget my previous 3 lines if you still don't agree, only the fact Yamila's movie is from 1999 automatically already discards her to be in these contests. If I just said I was thinking about removing Josie cause her last movie was from 2006... Agree. Charlize Theron... also Diane Kruger, Monica Bellucci began as models too, and probably many other we don't know. I simply try to be fair and place all the women in the contest where they deserve to be. As you say, many models and actresses also sing from time to time, and that doesn't qualify them as singers.

I honestly don't see that in the cases of Milla Jovovich, Laetitia Casta, Rebecca Romijn or Olga Kurylenko for example, they are very popular as actresses too, and I'd say acting is their main job right now. It wouldn't be fair to remove them just because they are or have been models too. I don't do nominations in these contests, precisely to avoid anybody can be in. You also have plenty of contests where you can nominate them, maybe these ones are just the only exception. I have been doing them in another forum for a long time, and every edition is done by a different user who is in charge of placing the actresses/models in several categories which tell in what round they will start. That user is usually selected by me, and I obviously ask users who vote the most days to do it. I also try to alternate the place where they are from. He/she also can include some new actresses/models, around 15-25, but they must be popular of course, the rest remain the same ones who were in the previous contest, and we usually remove the ones who got the lowest scores. And finally he/she has to follow a few rules that depend on the previous edition too, which in case anybody is interested to know, they basically are: - There are 120 actresses/models in total. 8 start in the groups (group seeds), 24 in the 4th round, 24 in the 3rd, 32 in the 2nd and 32 in the 1st. (8 + 24 + 24 + 32 + 32 = 120). - Last 2 finalists are automatically 2 of the 8 group seeds. - The other 6 group seeds had to reach at least the 3rd preliminary round in the previous contest. - The 3rd, 4th and 5th positions of the previous contest start in the 4th round, if they are not already selected by him/her as group seeds. - The same for the 6th to 10th positions, but they start in the 3rd round. - And any new actress/model has to start in the 3rd, 2nd or 1st round. I think I don't forget anything. So far it's been done (in chronological order) by me, Chocolate, mickiala, Jade** and dawson now, in the actresses contests. And by me again, spades24, Rachel_T, Jennka and Jade** in the models. PS: By the way, I have nothing against Yamila, you can check HERE who were my 8 favorite models when I selected the 8 group seeds for the MODELS CL 1st edition, they are the 8 on the left column.

That part wasn't there when I first replied. I have just checked it on the IMDb and Yamila Díaz has only been in one Italian movie from 1999, that's 11 years ago, and a movie probably nobody outside Italy knows. While Josie Maran was in a blockbuster such as "Van Helsing", or in a major role in "The Gravedancers" and some other movies too.

Sorry, what do you mean? I don't understand your question.

And Gisele Bündchen was in "Taxi" and "The Devil Wears Prada". And Alessandra Ambrosio was in James Bond's movie "Casino Royale" too... for just 2 seconds. Don't you have enough with them in the MODELS contests? they should be famous also as actresses, and not only thanks to another job. If we don't do it like that it all becomes a mess. Gemma Ward would be alright if she finally has an important role in Pirates IV and right after the movie is released, but the rest??? they should be in a new movie like that too. BTW, as for Josie Maran, I am thinking about removing her in 2011 cause her last movie is from 2006. I think they all should have done something in the last 3-4 years.

Gisele Bundchen x3

Round 9 - Based on those pics, a 4, but it's quite hard to give an accurate score with so few pics, they are treacherous many times, they are not what they seem. This is another picture of round 8 girl, not the current one... If that is not a 12 out of 5... At least you gave her a good 4, cause other people... <_<
