Why do you ppl question the validity of lists like these at all? Even the Academy Awards is BS. It's not written in stone. They're compiled & judged by a small group of ppl. What, because it's called 'TotalFilm' it must be 1000% accurate? Make up your own mind for once.

Megan Fox? Seth Rogan? Natalie Portman? Give me a break. Megan Fox can't act her way out of a wet paper bag. She's famous because of her looks alone. Seth Rogan? The guy is crass and nasty. Natalie Portman? Have you seen "Star Wars 3"? Ugh! These people do not deserve to be on this list.
