Come on, what’s 1.000.000$ among friends?
Don’t the TT’s get fed up of infesting every post with their regurgitated S***.
[~Famous~], what’s your problem? Did you even see Jake’s performance in Rendition? The movie itself got mixed reviews, but Jake was mostly praised.
I agree with Helena that Jake did a really good job in Zodiac, but for most people the standout was RDJ!
Jake’s performance as a straight man in an actual relationship with a woman is winning raves all over the internets!! Check out the fanboards boys and girls the Gyllenspoon love is INTENSE and INTOXICATING! Can’t you just feel it? Don’t be the last of your friends to jump on this celebrity love train.
Name their babies now! Beat the rush.
Every review I read of Rendition said Jake was miscast, dead weight or just blah.
Rendition sucked and he sucked in it but in his defense he didn’t have much to work with.
Most of these polls and choices are the result of studios and publicists pushing their clients and trading exclusives and interviews for good press.
JAVIER BARDEM IS SUPER HOT! Love him.
They were picked by Esquire themselves, they said that Jakes performance is the kind that is always overlooked, perhaps you should read it first before you say something.
Hey NAnci is that Dany in disguise.
why is Jake G amongst them? i don’t recall his performance in Rendition being highly praised.
More women!
Where’s Casey Affleck?
to whoever that person was who typed my name - yes. i’ve seen rendition - 20mins of it, that’s all I could take. and i don’t know what reviews you’re talking about but all the reviews i seen and heard about jake’s performance were all negative. miscasted, irrelevant… stop fronting.
wtf.. I agree with everyone else there, but, jake? seriously? c´mon.. I like jake, don´t get me wrong, but he is not supposed to be there. he´s overrated =\.
Gyllenhall is a cautionary tale about nepotism and entitlement. He’s not good looking enough to be a leading man and his acting isn’t a good enough reason for me to look at his ugly mug. He’s utterly underwhellming.
I don’t care if he’s straight gay or into beastiality BTW.
So much nasty Jake G. hatred. He was brilliant in both Zodiac and Rendition. I totally agree with vicky, kel and anon. Esquire picked Jake’s performance in Rendition for all the right reasons. Here is what they had to say about it and I totally agree:
“It is a near silent performance, apart from some minor heroics near the end, and most actors would likely have felt the need to signal their disapproval to the audience via exaggerated winces.
Gyllenhaal refrains, allowing us to project our own turbulent, conflicted emotions onto his placid expression.
Knowing when to do nothing is one of the least appreciated of an actor’s skills; here’s one who’s learned it early.”
“brilliant”
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
That Esquire quote is the only good thing you’ll find written about that godawful movie. I don’t hate Jake but BRILLIANT?? Cute…maybe…but he has yet to be brilliant in anything!!
I think Jake gave an excellent performance in Rendition and deserves to be on the cover with those great actors. Don’t care what the haters say. So glad that Esquire went against the typical critic response and paid attention to Jake’s work.
Very nice to see Cate on there for I’m Not There. I don’t agree with Jake but other than him for Rendition, this is a great group.
It’s kind of cold that Emile Hirsch is never on the cover because Denzel doesn’t move. I love Denzel, but come on. If they’re going to switch the groups, switch them.
Honestly I read that someone in his family is in the publishing bus do they work for Esquire really so sad to overlook some really stellar performances. Examples Viggo, Chris Cooper, Tommy Lee Jones.
Lord have mercy! Jake has the most gorgeous eyes!
I would rather see Shia instead of Emile and Christian Bale instead of Jake for the younger actors. Disturbia was better then Into The Wild and Bale is amazing in 3:10 to Yuma. JG wasn’t great in anything this year.
Jake’s best performance was the one in People magazine. LOL!
lol… it looks like Jake is dressed as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad …
I havent read all of the replies so I dont know if this was already mentioned, but so many keep complaining “where’s so and so, they were great”, but it says right on the cover of the mag the 36 performances. They cantfit 36 people on the cover, relax, these are the people they wanted for the cover shoot.
Hello, no one in Jake’s family works for Esquire, His uncle is the editor of the Miami Herald http://www.startribunecompany.com/p15623. You should check your facts.
Thank you AJ. Esquire has every right to chose the performances they think were great. Clearly they have others listed in the magazine. They are allowed to thought Jake did a good job in Rendition even if other critics didn’t.
Sorry the above link doesn’t seem to be working. Here is another one http://www.miamiherald.com/824/index.html
