Genre: Drama / Sci-fi / Adventure Director: James Cameron Writers: James Cameron, Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet & Edie Falco Avatar: The Way of Water might have some issues (mostly due to writing, like its predecessor 2009's Avatar ), but this sequel is an amazing visual spectacle you should watch on the big-screen. Yes, James Cameron did it again! The Way of Water is a sci-fi epic with some of the most beautiful shots of the last years and it is an extremely entertaining adventure film, thanks to great action sequences, but it fails to reach what it aims to be: a tale about imperfect parents and imperfect children. But what it lacks in character development (an issue we often see in James Cameron's movies) it has in visual splendor. It's style over substance, but a very entertaining (and beautiful) on...

 After a kinda weak Best Actress race last year, 2020's race looks insane to me! On the top of my predictions: Viola Davis for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom !

To be honest, I had a lot of fun looking back to last decade and selecting the biggest movie stars... So... I did it again, this time for the 2000's! Of course I don't have the same level of insight because of my cinematic maturity at the time (I'm a 90's born after all), but considering what I watched and the notion I have about the older people talking about the 2000's movies, I think I was able to make a fair selection! It's not always about delivering the best performance in order to be considered one of the greatest actors of a decade - it also takes the ability to open a big production movie, to turn a small indie into a box-office hit or work with some of the most prestigious directors/auteurs these days. That's how I made this list: performances + prestige movies + box-office numbers! And we've got our 2000's decade's biggest female movie stars:
