Best Cast

The Royal Tenenbaums

This category salutes a group effort among a cast of actors, giving a nod to all of them when individual performances don't necessarily have enough time to shine in a movie to cement higher individual placement. While two actors from The Royal Tenenbaums did finish in their respective top five categories, several members of the cast were just barely shut out or received only one or two votes. Clearly, this group would have liked to have singled out more individials from this film if it were possible, since they overwhelmingly gave them the group thumbs up. Ocean's 11 cast of superstars is unsurprising in many respects, even if few placed high in the acting categories. Just the fact that Soderbergh was able to get them all together in one movie and make significant roles for them seems a feat in itself. The Lord of the Rings also featured a number of small, excellent performances from a large number of actors and it was rewarded with third place here. Black Hawk Down's group of largely unknown or character actors made a good enough impression on several voters to get it to fourth place in our survey. Finally, Moulin Rouge! had several nominees, such as Jim Broadbent, in the Supporting Actor category who didn't factor into the vote, but influenced this particular category.
