I was reading a blog tonight written by this liberal elitist and he was ranking his best scenes of the decade, and it got me thinking: What actor reigned over the past ten years?
Daniel Day Lewis?
Clooney?
Leonardo?
Russel Crowe?
Denzel had some epic movies
Johnny Depp?
If I had to pick I'd say Lewis, but his performances stand out because he does so few movies (not that that's a bad thing).
I don't know. I'll have to spend some time on YouTube reminding myself of their work. I'm already thinking of Crowe's work in A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man.
What say you?

Women are included too, I just tend to be drawn more towards the action side of things. Don't see many Streep movies.

He ha. "liberal elite." I'm not sure you can consider yourself as "elite" if you drink Lone Star beer, even when you're not in Texas.
That's a good point about Lewis. He's very selective about his roles it seems. And PT Anderson only puts out a movie twice a decade. That's why "There Will Be Blood" was just like a treat to humanity.
With that in mind, I'd have to go with Clooney, but let's compare IMDBs.
Clooney (selected films):
# Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) (voice)
# The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)
# Up in the Air (2009/I)
# Burn After Reading (2008)
# Leatherheads (2008)
# Michael Clayton (2007)
# Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
# Syriana (2005)
# Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)
# Ocean's Twelve (2004)
# Ocean's Eleven (2001)
# Spy Kids (2001)
# The Perfect Storm (2000)
# O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
I haven't seen Up In the Air, but it's supposed to be great.

I think you could almost say this decade belonged to Will Ferrell. Is he the actor of the decade? Maybe not, but I don't think any single actor/comedian will have the lasting impact of Ferrell from the 2000's. Let's put it this way: when you think of great comedic actors from this decade, you'll think of Ferrell first, and you won't have a second.
