“I surrender who i’ve been for who you are, 

for nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart.

If i had only felt how it feels to be yours, 

well, i would have known what I’ve been living for all along. 

What i’ve been living for.” »

Benedict Cumberbatch and Jessica Chastain at the 12th Annual AFI Awards  13 January 2012

What I’ve been working on all afternoon. Sorry it looks… a bit like crap. I sort of gave up on it at the end there.

These aren’t in any sort of order. I tried to only use characters that were from this year, but I actually just started watching Mad Men a few months ago. So I felt it might be alright to add Betty. Seeing as she’s new to me and all. All of these characters were driven by the performer’s dedication and careful understanding of the character and the unique worlds they inhabited. They were a joy to watch and I hope I get to see more of them in the future.
