They put in Melissa McCarthy and Keanu Reeves like we wouldn't notice.

Joaquin phoenix would make my list as well. The rest of the actors are pretty mediocre.
shareHe's one of the few on there that I think should. But they're missing a hell of a lot of people.
shareAnd they didn't even include Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The list is just pop-corn movie actors and a huge pile of politically correct diverse quota. Joaquin Phoenix is the only choice that really deserves to be in a top actors list, and perhaps Isabelle Huppert or William Dafoe. And Denzel Washington could have been in this list 20 years ago, not now.
Denzel was phenomenal in Fences.
sharedafoe belongs there
shareI told ya'll the best shit is before 1980
shareYes. And the 70s were the best for movies and music.
shareI agree. Some great music from the 60s (first half = great jazz, second half = great variety)
Lots of great movies from the 1930-50s, too.... I might have been born in the 80s, but man, it's just so lacking in talent and spirit. And it only got worse! I kept waiting for some kind of renaissance, partly due to the internet being new, but I realized I wasted a lot of hours watching bad movies when I could have checked out something from a time period of greater success.
I was born in the early 80s and have both the movies and music. I find it to be the most dated decade.
