Wow, I have tons to watch. Abstaining for this round from the vast majority, but I will get around to watching the films that win this round (or maybe the next one, depending on my schedule) in order to have informed opinions on every matchup going forward.

1a: abstain
1b: abstain
1c: Charlie Chaplin in City Lights vs. John Wayne in The Searchers
1d: abstain
1e: Bibi Anderrsson in Persona vs. Denis LaVant in Holy Motors (hardest matchup)
1f: abstain
1g: Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest vs. Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds
1h: abstain (it is very embarrassing that I haven't seen Fargo or M, I know)
1i: Robert De Niro in Raging Bull vs. John Cusack in High Fidelity
1j: abstain
1k: abstain
1l: abstain
1m: Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove vs. Sigourney Weaver in Aliens (are we supposed to pick a specific performance of his in Dr Strangelove?)
1n: Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood vs. Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd
1o: Takashi Shimura in Ikiru vs. Michael Fassbender in Prometheus (one of my favorites to win)
1p: Uma Thurman in Kill Bill: Vol 1 vs. Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man
1q: Cary Grant in North By Northwest vs. Kyle McLachlan in Blue Velvet (NXNW is a better film but I love Dale Cooper in all of his pursuits)
1r: Christian Bale in American Psycho vs. James Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life
1s: Jim Carrey in Man on the Moon vs. Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia
1t: Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump vs. Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight (these two actually got put against each other? lol)
1u: Anatoly Solonitsyn in Andrei Rublev vs. Helena Bonham Carter in Fight Club
1v: abstain, though I'll quote this and amend if I see The Usual Suspects soon, since it's on my shortlist of things to watch
1w: Faye Dunaway in Chinatown vs. Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca
1x: abstain
1y: abstain
1z: abstain
1aa: Alexander Kaidanovsky in Stalker vs. Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List
1bb: Laura Dern in Inland Empire vs. Joaquin Phoenix in Her (Joaquin Phoenix is a genius, but this was far from the best material he's ever been given)
1cc: abstain
1dd: abstain
1ee: abstain
1ff: Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction vs. Naomi Watts in Mulholland Dr

As a reminder, only two days left until Round 2 begins, so cast your votes soon.

(Coincidentally, same day the Oscar nominations are announced)

Very good idea. We'll definitely do this.

It worked out nicely for me, the only films I haven't seen were without fail matched against one another (not vote stacking by me, I swear). So I was able to vote on nearly all the matchups, though there's still eight films I have yet to see.

Not horribly well versed in movies, feel uncomfortable unless I've seen at least a large chunk of each. I'll admit I missed some parts of some of the movies, mostly those I voted against, though also I think 1 I actually voted for, so IDK.
