The Official Movie Bracket Thread™ • Page 2

It is very surprising that no one nominated Mike Myers. The lead of three different iconic film franchises that came out during most peoples' lifetimes.

 

Short vs Samberg and Martin vs Sandler are tough matchups.

 

Farley beat Spade. Carrey beat Lovitz. Samberg beat Short. Martin and Sandler tied but Martin had the higher seed. Ferrell beat Hader. Robinson beat Bateman. Wiig beat Cage. Coolidge beat Hung. Coogan beat Pemberton. Robin Williams beat Bernie Mac. Murray beat Belushi. Eddie Murphy beat Chaplin. O'Hara beat Wilder. Nielsen beat Billy Crystal. Myers beat Carrell. Stiller beat Rowan Atkinson.

Vote now on round two.

Polltab - Best Comedy Actor

 

Farley vs. Carrey is a tough one. Both such an important part of early 90's comedy.

 

voted

 

Carrey beat Farley. Samberg beat Martin. Ferrell beat Robinson. Wiig beat Coolidge. Williams beat Coogan. Murray beat Murphy. Nielsen beat O'Hara. Myers beat Stiller. Next round started last night.

 

We are really in the legends tier now, plus Andy Samberg.

 

Carrey beat Farley?!!?

 

I have a strong feeling next round will be this + 1.

 

I prefer Farley, but is that really a surprise? Farley was only the lead in four films.

 

Carrey beat Samberg. Ferrell beat Wiig. Robin Williams beat Bill Murray. Myers beat Nielsen. Round 4 is live now.

Remaining four are all icons. Surprised how few are voting; brackets were much more popular last time.

 

Final round is Will Ferrell vs. Robin Williams.

I have ideas for future brackets, but if anyone has any please share them.

 

Carrey losing to Ferrell is wild

 

I was surprised but Ferrell's films haven't aged as badly as Ace Ventura.

 

missed this, damn

 

I still haven't voted. I would be more likely to watch a Will Ferrell today but Robin Williams is obviously foundational for everyone around my age, and in terms of pure talent Williams is maybe the most gifted physical comedian of the modern era.

 

Will Ferrell is the winner. He will be giving his speech tomorrow.

 

Next category: what is the greatest debut film by a director? It should be their true debut, although there is some wiggle room with stuff like student films. Please nominate three. My three.
