Toni Collette
 

I have a small crush on her, and my wife's okay with it. She's an incredibly gifted actor; always true, never faked; sensitive and wise; though she focuses a bit much on the down-and-out roles.

Muriel's Wedding -- phenomenal; no one will play the smart, but fat and needy, girl like that again.

Sixth Sense -- Without her, the movie has no pathos, and without pathos, The Sixth Sense is no better than any other Shamylalllyboobie movie.

About a Boy -- Is this the same actress that was in Muriel's Wedding? Holy crap, how does she do that?

The Hours -- Blew Nicole Kidman out of the water; if I were Julianne Moore, I would want to get it on with her too if she were my neighbor. Personified surbubia in five minutes of screen time. Kidman couldn't portray brilliant insanity, the kind Dickinson wrote about, with one hour of screen time. Brilliant madness is more than darty eyes and a zig-zag walk.

Little Miss Sunshine -- In a perfectly cast movie (except the mute, now not-mute boy), she held all the characters together to make the message drive home: it's all about family.

United States of Tara -- Loving it.

Aussie actresses are pretty cool. I haven't seen many of Toni's films. I loved About a Boy, but then it's got Hugh Grant and Rachel Weisz in it, so what's not to love?

No idea who she is.

I think there may be some bias here. I didn't even remember her from The Hours until you pointed out who she was. I would be inclined to favor Moore's performance over Kidman's in that movie, though.

And there I was... singing with my eyes closed
