A Birthday Gift for bunniewabbit: *g*

Entertainment Weekly has posted its list of Top 30 Actors Under 30, and guess who's in it at #2!

WHY HIM The Lord of the Rings franchise made Wood a megastar, but the actor has used his box office power for good instead of evil in off-beat movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) and Everything Is Illuminated (2005).

WHAT'S NEXT Wood lends his voice to an upcoming feature-length version of 9 (2005), an award-winning animated short set in a post-apocalyptic world. Why there's not more is beyond us.

WORD.

Oh - I doubt that there is a ranking as such. Still, it doesn't much matter - most people would assume there is one, and since his is the second name they come to, it can't mean anything but good for him.

I'm just happy he's there, because he totally deserves to be.

"Oh - I doubt that there is a ranking as such."

But if you know this, why make an entry saying that he's Nr.2, if he's not, since it's not a ranking?

And since most of the time when EW has a ranking they save the winner for last, his pic being the second would only imply that he was Nr.29 and not Nr.2...So I doubt that most people would assume he's Nr.2...

Anyway, I am glad he made the list, seeing how most of his projects have been out of the public eye lately, I am glad he got this recognition:)

Thanks for posting, by the way!

You know, you're right about the reverse order of ranking - I'd forgotten about that, forgot about rankings altogether, I'm afraid. Perhaps because I didn't get it in an alert - a co-worker who was aware of my interests IM-ed that "My Eeelijah" was #2 in one of the EW lists and sent me the link. I took a quick look and posted - and in my mind (and hers, I imagine) #2 meant second pic in the line-up. Didn't even think about rankings until Wenchie commented. I was just so glad he hadn't been overlooked. Heh.
