2012 Acting Handpicks' By Chin

One year ago since my first acting handpicks' and now we're back in the game. Fortunately, most of my choices last time were right on the spot and were able to clinched the coveted 'golden guy'. The Golden Globes that just wrapped up last Monday may have given us an idea about those films and actors that would fare well for this award season. Naturally, I have my favorites so this list would be subjective at most. My special citation are still included in order to highlight those actor's that worked extra hard by appearing in more than 2 or 3 films to boot. Here they are:

ACTOR

Most Hardworking

Since both actors appeared in a whopping four films last year -- and in terms of likability, I consider myself their ardent supporter/believer having seen every single one of their motion pictures. So in my opinion, it is fair enough for them to share the top spot as the most hardworking actor of 2012. Good job guys!
