TGT11: Great Gratuities of 2011, Runners-Up

.

The time has come for the best naked menfolk of the year, according to me. Keep in mind this list (as all of these lists, of course) is highly subjective - although I think a lot of you are here because you find attractive the same gentlemen I tend to find attractive, the logic to the way I had to come up with to organize these guys, from top to bottom (and front to side, and every which way), probably will only make sense to me in the end. So it shall be.

But first up, the also-rans. These are the ones that I managed to remember but missed out on my top twenty. They're all prime obviously, but for the most part they just didn't give up enough this time around to qualify. Sorry, dudes. Please, do better next time! I like it when you try.

As an aside, I've been adding names to this all week so I'm sure there are people I haven't thought of, that slipped my mind, I am only one man and even my encyclopedic knowledge of cinematic bo-hunkery has its limits. And if they slipped my mind at this point I say they must have not done good enough in the first place! So, the runners-up be...

Chris Hemsworth, Thor

Chris Carmack, Shark Night (more here)

Bobby Cannavale, Win Win (more here)

Aaron Johnson, Albert Nobbs (more here)

Dustin Milligan, Shark Night (more here)

Taylor Lautner, Abduction (more here)

Hugh Jackman, Real Steel

Stephen Dorff, Immortals

James Franco, Your Highness

Thomas Jane and Rob Lowe, I Melt With You (more here)

Jon Hamm, Bridesmaids

Pics of the Day

Sometimes I convince myself that my history with the director Joe Wright is more sordid than it is - really I only disliked Atonement. But then, I really disliked Atonement. But I liked his adaptation of Pride and Prejudice very much and I really loved Hanna. (Like the rest of the world, I avoided The Soloist like the plague.) So when I find myself surprised over being excited about his next movie - an adaptation of Anna Karenina starring his muse Keira Knightley and my muses Jude Law and Aaron Johnson - it's nonsense and I just need to snap out of it. Somebody smack me hard across the face like Cher! The Playlist has the first batch of pictures from the film and besides that one up top being so lush I want to molest it, there are also glimpses of Law and Johnson and obviously I want to molest them. See all the shots at The Playlist.
