  • Puss, in Puss In Boots, definitely! No doubt about it.

  • Kitty in Puss n Boots-the beautiful sound track should win it really made that film.

  • @nancihfailey and @dreamdust: OK, I suppose I should add Puss n Boots to my list of films to watch. Are there any fictional characters from books that you think would make great film stars? And if so, which roles would they play?

  • I have to mention the horse in War Horse, the book is quite good if you only know it from the play or movie. My favorite diva from fiction is Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair for best actress. In real life, the dog from The Artist should get a special Oscar for best performance!

  • Michael Shannon's character Curtis in "Take Shelter". A genius portrayal of mental instability and/or prophet-ism (not a word. But that's ok).

  • Just saw Hugo as a movie (it was fantastic) now off to get the book! Hugo as best picture and director, deserves both will probably only get one.
