This has our name all over it!

I really had a hard time between Ron and Harry and between Professor X (reboot) and the Doctor. Some were easy: Snape, Mr. Darcy, Teddy Laurence, and Suge's favorite, that guy from Tudors!

LOL! I had a hard time choosing between Dan and Rupert, too -- I ended up going with Dan because I liked his outfit better.

I skipped a few, when I didn't recognize either actor, and didn't have an immediate preference.

And while OF COURSE I voted for Alan Rickman, I think they chose a not-very-flattering shot of Liam Neeson. Interestingly enough, I think both of those actors' appeal is mostly their voice.

well, you know I voted for Rupert. And he's winning!

There's no way to pick between Henry Cavill and Jamie Bamber. They should not be meeting in the first round! I really cannot pick! OK Bamber, but only because I liked BSG better than the Tudors.

Round Two!

A lot of our favorites made it through, but some may need our help. Vote!

Round Three!

http://blogs.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2011/08/12/vote-in-the-anglo-fan-favorit...

Darcy, Snape, and the 10th Doctor are still in it!

Who the hell keeps voting for Benedict Cumberbatch? I love him a Sherlock, but there's no way he's hotter than Hugh Laurie.

They use some really dated pictures of some of these guys. If they have to do that, why not use a photo of Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham? I happened to like that look on him. :o)

Who is the guy Rickman is up against right now? I don't think I know him. At least, I don't recognize him out of character. I tend to have displacement amnesia. :oP

#13: I do. I think he's way hotter than Laurie and he's a ginger.

#15 Well, to each hir own. I think Hugh is a dreamboat. And I was sad the Rupert got eliminated, even though he did beat Dan.

Semifinals!

Darcy or The Doctor, Firth or Tennant? I just can't decide! The other face off was easier. Go Snape!

I'm glad I missed the voting! Making a choice between Mr. Darcy and the Doctor.... WHOA! It would have made my brain melt!

Well I voted Firth. Rickman is well in the lead. Despite the fact that he looks like someone's great grandpa in the pic

Ago 26, 2011, 5:13 pm

I'm sure you all can guess who I voted for -- but suge is right about that picture! I'm a little mystified at the big lead he has . . . must be a lot of really dedicated Rickman fans out there. Perhaps the really dedicated Firth fans haven't heard about this contest?

Now they are having an Anglo Fan Favorite tournament for the women. Lots of HP and Doctor Who stars are in it.

#23 ~~ Found myself literally crossing my fingers, as the site was opening, that MY guy (Rickman) would win. LOL

Totally a Mandy top 3. Colin Firth would be #1 for me but they are still definitely my top 3, So I'm still incredibly happy!

Apparently they started this earlier this year. It's already to the semi-finals.

Tom Hiddleston v. Colin Morgan and Benedict Cumberbatch v. Martin Freeman

I voted for Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch, of course. :) :) :) I'm glad I didn't have to vote in the previous week's voting, though - Benedict vs. David Tennant? Ouch, that's cruel, making me choose! I would've gone for Benedict, but it would still be very, very close.

They were! And on those I invariably chose the one with fewer votes.

I had a hard time with Simon Pegg Vs Colin Morgan, both are great in very different ways...

Snape vs. Harry. That seemed so appropriate!
I was sad Rory didn't advance. And Patrick Stewart.

The Freeman/McAvoy matchup was the hardest for me this time. And I agree with everything you said there, JP!

I think my toughest was Magneto vs. Magneto this time.

They were all hard for me except the last one. I really had trouble with Matt Smith v. Martin Freeman!

Wow. Same here, Compski. I had to vote for my raggedy Doctor in the end, but it was quite a quandary!

Very difficult indeed, though I think my hardest was Tennant vs. Rickman.

50justjukka
Ago 25, 2013, 3:04 am

Anyone I would have whole-heartedly voted for is out.  Alan Rickman's great and all, but I wouldn't put him above Patrick Stewart, not to mention several very fit, very good-looking young and younger men.  I totally don't understand my fellow voters.

51jugglingpaynes
Ago 26, 2013, 5:02 pm

I have to say, they could change the tide of several of the competitions just by changing the photos. Some of the matches featured the most unflattering photos of particular actors.

52biblioholic29
Ago 27, 2013, 8:43 am

I noticed that as well. I have to admit there were a few I had never heard of as well - at least in the first round. Since none of them made it to the 2nd round, my guess is I wasn't the only one saying "who?!"

I was hoping for Benedict Cumberbatch. But, if you think Tom Hiddleston isn't attractive, you just haven't seen him in action. He's really quite charming.
