Results of poll #8

Two weeks ago I posted a poll asking voters to consider with which leading man Meryl had the best chemistry. Recall that Blogger discontinued the poll feature (stupidly) and I therefore had to find an outside option for running the poll. I don't like that people weren't able to see a running tally of the voting, but I didn't want to pay for that option yet, as I'm not sure I'll use the same website in the future.

Anyway, forgive me for the janky photo below, but I made a screenshot of the results to then post here:


I have to admit, I'm rather surprised that Clint Eastwood came in first. I agree that he and Meryl had good chemistry in Bridges, but for him to finish on top with only Stanley Tucci in Julie & Julia coming close was not what I was expecting. Again, my favorite was Kevin Kline, but as you can see, he didn't fare so well. Glad to see no one got zero votes!

Thoughts for new polls?

  2. Angela Lansbury. I wonder if they met on the Mary Poppins set? I voted for Chris Cooper.

  3. I disagree Jeff. I believe Kevin Klein is not much of a true actor and I do not find Kevin doing an amazing work in his performances with Meryl.

    On ther other hand, Clint did an amazing job being the cold, respectful and odly charming man that Francesca needed. He was careful, methodical and made a great combination with the minimalistic performance of Meryl. In my opinion, it is one of her best ones.

    Can you give a chart about what not nominated performances of Meryl, should have gotten nominated?

  4. What about Tom Hanks? I know they don't have a romantic relationship but there is definitely chemistry between them...
