He was nominated for The Contender (2001), Starman (1985), Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1975), and The Last Picture Show (1972), and his role as The Dude in The Big Lebowski has become a cult classic.

Jeff Bridges很有希望在第五次努力中最终获得奥斯卡奖，六十岁的他被认为是此次学院奖的最佳男主角之一。2001年他因《拳王争霸赛》提名；1985年是《星际访客》，1975年《霹雳炮与飞毛腿》,1972年《最后一场电影》。在《谋杀绿脚趾》一片中的无业游民一角使他成为黑色电影的经典。

在《疯狂的心》中他扮演的Bad Blake,是 一个过气、酗酒的乡村歌手，他仍然唱歌，但并不甘心陷于困境。

Bridges出生于好莱坞世家，他是已故的Lloyd Bridges的儿子，Beau的弟弟，他俩曾一起出演《一曲相思情未了》。

George Clooney - Up In The Air George Clooney-《在云端》

Clooney fits effortlessly into the role of Ryan Bingham, a "corporate downsizer" whose job it is to fire people as smoothly and painlessly as possible. An Oscars regular, Clooney was a best actor nominee in 2008 for Michael Clayton but lost out to Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will Be Blood. The 48-year-old has one Academy Award to his name - best supporting actor for Syriana in 2006. It was one of three nominations that year - the others were best director and best original screenplay for Good Night and Good Luck.

Clooney毫不费力地融于Ryan Bingham这个角色，这个“为公司提供裁员服务的人”的职责是尽可能顺利和平稳的帮助公司裁员。作为奥斯卡常客，Clooney曾于2008年因《迈克尔克莱顿》提名最佳男主角，但输给了《血色将至》中的Daniel Day-Lewis。48岁的Clooney于2006年因《辛瑞那》一片获得最佳男配角称号，同年他还因《晚安，好运》一片提名最佳导演和最佳原创剧本。

虽然他曾因几部严肃戏剧而获得好评，但他最著名的两件事却是——在电视版《傲慢与偏见》中“湿身”的达西先生， 以及他在《布里吉特琼斯日记》到《妈妈咪亚！》中饰演的充满喜剧感、保守的英国男士形象。
