Well, some of you, at least, as you begin to have to make these last decisions. I envision pacing and muttering and DVD-viewing and Googling as you try to decide between two men you’ve loved all along. I didn’t mean to make you sweat. At least, not in a bad way.
Here are our Quarterfinalists:
Colin Firth vs. Alan Rickman
George Clooney vs. Johnny Depp *
Mike Rowe vs. Ewan McGregor
Please cast your votes by Midnight tonight. I can have the Semifinals Pairs up tomorrow, and we should have a winner by Sunday!!
*This may be the trickiest match-up so far. And, my right hand, I had no idea it would turn out this way.

1) Nooooooo!! Don’t make me CHOOSE! I mean, how on earth can one choose between Mr. Darcy and Colonel Brandon? *sob* I shall go with Colin Firth, but this is not in any way at all a vote AGAINST Alan Rickman.
2) If we’re talking hunk, it has to be Clooney. Again, though, this is not a vote AGAINST Johnny Depp. (Oh, heck — let’s admit it…at this stage of the game, there’s no voting *against* anyone!)
3) Mike Rowe.
4) Hugh Laurie. Though I cringe to think about who he may be up against next round…

Are you having fun TORTURING US???
I’m with Sarah – we’re not voting against anyone anymore. Now we have to choose between the greater of two greats.
Sheesh.
All right, then.
Colin Firth
George Clooney
Ewan McGregor

No, no, no! Vote for Alan Rickman! I mean Colin Firth is totally hot and great and all but…think of Rickman’s Jamie in “Truly, Madly, Deeply” (not Firth’s Jamie in “Love Actually” although that was my favorite storyline) – how sexy was it when he blew on his fingers to warm hs lips so that he could kiss Nina…sigh.
Ahem, I digress.

Ok, ok, I have been worried long enough about these pairings (seriously need a life!) but the point made about choosing the better of two greats is a good one, soooo, I’ll vote now and keep refreshing all day to see what you all do (Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp). Subliminal messages just might work, no? LOL!
Alan, Johnny!, Ewan & Hugh (oh the pain of that choice, love ‘em both, but I gots loyalties
)
Fingers crossed,

Let’s do this thing,
1. Okay, this is difficult, I adore them both, but if I must pick, I pick….Firth
2. Ah, an easy one. Depp.
3. Sorry, neither of them do it for me. I abstain.
4. A hundred votes for Mr. Laurie. Sigh, I wish I could meet someone like him, marry them, and… well you get the idea.

Waaaayyyy too close (biting nails)!!
LOL – seriously, in need of a life – what will I do when this contest is over? Maybe I will have to suggest it on other blogs across the web…I’ll be famous as the…wait, wait, it was Rox’s and Kim’s idea wasn’t it? Darn!!
Sarah said,

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I suddenly want to hole up in my house with some popcorn and a stack of movies starring all my favorite hunks! And my knitting too, of course.

OK, this is a hard one, but when forced to choose:
1. Alan Rickman (he makes even evil characters appealing!)
2. George Clooney
3. Ewan McGregor
4. Hugh Laurie (though, to paraphrase Bertie Wooster, it’s not really very sporting of you to make us choose among all of these!)

I am admitting now that if George and Hugh end up head to head, I will probably be forced to split personalities and vote for both. That would be SUCH a tough choice for me!
I am very pleased that 2 of my top 3 have made it this far!!

By my count…16 for Colin and lucky 13 for Alan. Come on…there’s gotta be three or four more Rickman fans out there….
And I totally can’t believe I’ve checked these comments at least three times since I voted.

Ooh, now you’re getting tricky.
1. I must abstain. Out of equal love for both.
2. Johnny, oh my Johnny
3. Ewan, if just for his singing in Moulin Rouge
4. I’ve heard that Mr. Damon is one of the nicest celebrities in real life, so I have to give him snaps for that, but my vote goes to the multitalented Mr. Laurie (is there anything he can’t do?)
