A Jane-Austen Films, All-Star Team
The Emma,
Film-Actors Select Team
Ballot Supplied by the Male Voices Web Site
The Official Ballot is no longer active
May I suggest that you vote for that actor, in each category, that best interpreted Jane Austen's intent. Vote for the person who worked hardest to preserve Jane Austen's vision—or not—vote for the hotties if you prefer. (If you are bent that way, then allow me to recommend Samantha Morton, Olivia Williams, and Greta Scacchi.) Fairness is our first object, and when we say "fairness", we think of "freedom". So, feel free to vote as many times as you like.
This election actually has rules! Here is the link to those. And, here is a link to the election results to date.

Election Rules
Winners will be declared after 500 ballots have been submitted or on July 4, 2010, whichever comes first. The ballots are counted at the end of each day and the tallies are added to the "Election Results" within twenty-four hours. I can't promise anything, but I will try very hard to arrange a Celebrity Death-Match between our All-Star team and the Nihilist Tag-Team composed of Patricia Rozema (Captain), Oliver Stone (Team Historian), and Jane Campion (Year-Book Revisions).
