Young Adult/Charlie Theron is one of the best films of the last decade. Where is Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine?

Arguably, one can over use the word "arguably" to a certain degree.

Few not mentioned: Barton Fink, Gene Hackman in Scarecrow, perhaps a shoutout to a handful of Woody Allen and/or Jean-Pierre Léaud characters (especially Mother and the Wh*re)

Wait WHAT? OOOOH, I get it, this is about characters IN FRONT of the camera. Very misleading title.

Maps to the Stars\’ Havana Segrand, brilliantly played by Julianne Moore. She\’s a massive self absorbed, asshole, narcissist. She deserves awards for that. John Cusack was another giant jerk in that film. And "Social Services," played by Tilda Swindon in Moonrise Kingdom. You just wanted to wring her neck. Excellent article, though, you covered most of the bases and made it fun.

Not trying to start a turf war, but interesting how the majority of the examples here are characters living in or around New York City.
