2006 Reader Awards: Best Actor

March 1, 2006

Next I'm doing a gay soccer hooligan movie.

Readers delivered the Best Actor vote to Brokeback Mountain's Heath Ledger by a 36% margin over Joaquin Phoenix's turn as Johnny Cash; well back in third place was P.S. Hoffman. Jake Gyllenhaal delivered the highest ranking supporting performance, earning a fifth place finish.

Readers' sixth place favorite, David Straitharn, took the Calvin Award for Best Actor, while our runner-up selection of George Clooney in Syriana was out of left field as far as readers are concerned.
