They are actors without an Oscar even if they deserved an award unlike other peers. There is no particular order to them. These actors and actresses were nominated at least for a Best Supporting role, some of them several times, but despite their talent, they didn't get it yet. Except one of them (Richard Burton), all the others are pretty recent, a 20-25 years span is a whole life for just a part of you.

Top 100 StarMeter 2014
Here are the 100 stars who consistently ranked the highest on the IMDb weekly STARmeter chart throughout 2014. IMDb STARmeter rankings are based on the actual page views of IMDb’s more than 200 million unique monthly visitors.

My last year Top was the imdb STARmeter on January 3'rd. The surprise this year is that Top 10 is exclusively … [Read more...]
STARmeter 2013 – Top 100 in the Movies
A little late this year with the popularity list (the second time I publish it), but I don't think it really matters. I see a lot of people missing from the first one hundred, meaning "who's hot right now" from last year. You can compare the two lists if you want. The list and the pictures are theirs (imdb), the words are mine. I had a few foe everyone, even if I know her/him or not. A lot of young blood here, you'll see. 1.

Top 100 Actors in 2012
This is not my list, it is the imdb list, called STARmeter, which is a poll using proprietary algorithms that take into account several measures of popularity for people, titles and companies. The primary measure is who and what people are looking at on the IMDb.com and IMDbPro websites. This can't be rigged because rankings are based on a cumulative total of more than 3 billion pageviews per month. Imdb has designed the ranking algorithm so that the actions of one user (or small group of users) … [Read more...]
