Well, everything is ok, just lets change places 3 and 10)

What about miss Period Drama?

[estella7.livejournal.com]

Oh! Justine Waddell for sure.

[drimtim.livejournal.com]

I remember her in Wives and Daughters.. she was actually good.

The beard! I really kind of enjoy that look on him.

I had a grand time following this poll, and I am off to watch N&S again for, er, probably the millionth time.

Well RA deserved to win! ;D Loving that beard on him btw ;D

Thanks on a great poll birdienl! :D

[spally.livejournal.com]

He looks happy with his new status!

[sarahkatiejay.livejournal.com]

i'm so glad someone suggested this! and Justine Waddell is amazing although i'm rather taken with Keeley Hawes as well. I just loved the two of them together... a Miss Period Drama comp for sure... all in good time

[nurrantiel.livejournal.com]

This was such a fun 10 days! =) Thank you for hosting it!

Andrew should be second :(

[ringsandcoffee.livejournal.com]

armitage_daily ?!? I must check this out!

Peter Jackson must be a genius.

[honeybearkelly.livejournal.com]

How did he look at this gorgeous man and see a dwarf?

[myrna-nora.livejournal.com]

Thanks for hosting this. Richard is my favorite, but I would have ranked the others in a completely different order, but it's still fun to see what everyone else thinks. :)

You deserve your LJ holiday. Would you like someone else to host another or would you prefer to keep the competition exclusive to your LJ? I could put together another round, however I'd understand if you said no.

Re: Peter Jackson must be a genius.

I often ask the same question regarding Aidan Turner, to tell you the truth. D:

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Well, GASPSHOCK, it's not like we didn't know who would win in Round 1...;P LOL! It'll be verrry interesting to see two things: 1. How a second contest like this goes, and 2. How RA looks as a dwarf. In a huge beard.

[antoinettemason.livejournal.com]

this has been incredibly fun, thank you for hosting it! enjoy your well earned lj holiday. :D

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

I wonder if that would lead to as much discussion as this, but I would like it!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

No, you're very welcome to put together another round, there have been suggestions in the comments about another men round, a period drama round or a Miss Period Drama round. It was never exclusively mine, it was a meme I picked up from another person at LJ who did it with her own favourite men and women.

[drimtim.livejournal.com]

It is even possible make two nominations: miss period drama and missis period drama.

I wonder, why Colin Firth wasnt included to previous nominations - or he was considered to be too old?

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Not too old perse, but I just decided to mainly do recent period drama actors, you have to make a cut somewhere...
