The Fox List: 2011

This year's rule: No rules, again! But I did incorporate a couple of "whimsical" pictures throughout the list. Enjoy!

Side note: This year at the Oscars, three Best Actor and two Best Supporting Actor nominees are Fox List alums. Finally, the Academy is paying attention!

10. David Krumholtz (My love for the curly-headed endures)



9. James Franco (My favorite soap star)



8. Jason Sudeikis (If he's hot enough for January Jones, he's hot enough for me!)



7. Mark Ruffalo (I firmly believe that when I am making the Fox List in 2027, he will still be on it)



6. Jason Segel (Little known fact: proximity to Muppets is a major factor in hotness)



5. Colin Firth (Even in his "advanced years," he still looks better in a suit than any other guy in Hollywood)



4. Alexander Skarsgard (Practically perfect in every way)



3. Sam Rockwell (Watch the movie Moon, please. Spoilers: it has TWO Sam Rockwells. Need I say more?)



2. Chiwetel Ejiofor (Just thinking about where to put him on this year's list compelled me to watch Inside Man, Redbelt, Children of Men and Talk to Me in the last four days. For research purposes.)



1. Matthew Goode (Though it was set in the gorgeous Irish countryside, he was still the best scenery in Leap Year)

The Fox List: 2010

This year's rule: THERE ARE NO RULES.


10. John Cho (Whether he's playing a stoner on a madcap caper or a dude on the Enterprise, he's pretty dreamy)




9. Ed Westwick (He's Chuck Bass)




8. Jason Segel (Dude's funny, and doesn't mind giving out his phone number to the entire internet. Sorry about all the voicemails, Jason!)




7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Even though his character in 500 Days of Summer was a world class tool, he still looked foxy)




6. Diego Luna (Making a triumphant return to the list after his dreamy turns in Milk and Rudo Y Cursi)




5. Mark Ruffalo (I may have watched 13 Going On 30 for the hundredth time last night)




4. Zachary Quinto (I'd take Spock over Kirk any day!)




3. Chiwetel Ejiofor (Only he could pull off playing a future British terrorist, a drag queen and a somber space assassin all while looking hot)




2. Max Greenfield (The only guy Veronica Mars ever dated who wasn't a major d-bag was Deputy Leo)




1. Alexander Skarsgard (Just look at him. Seriously. Any questions? I didn't think so.)

The Fox List: 2009

This year's rule: no repeats.


10. Freddy Rodriguez (I’m convinced that 99% of the reason Ugly Betty has started to suck so much is lack of Freddy!)



9. Mads Mikkelsen (He’d rather be the sexiest man in Denmark than the ugliest man in Denmark!)



8. Joe Anderson (I would probably watch both Across the Universe and Becoming Jane again for him. Well, maybe just Across the Universe!)



7. Casey Affleck (He’s got all the hotness AND acting talent his brother lacks!)



6. James McAvoy (Even though every movie I’ve seen him in has categorically blown!)



5. Javier Bardem (Sans weird-ass hair from No Country For Old Men, naturally!)



4. Ed Westwick (Sorry, Rose, but Chuck Bass rules!)



3. James Franco (Knowing that I've leaned against the same wall as somebody that hot gives me warm fuzzies!)



2. Robert Downey Jr. (A prime example of someone who gets hotter and more lovable with age!)



1. Vintage Harrison Ford (My heart cannot repel hotness of that magnitude!)

The Fox List: 2008

This year's rule: anybody who has appeared on two fox lists is disqualified. Also, I chose the strangest pictures of each man that I could find.

Also features a mathematically determined Hall of Fame.


THE HALL OF FAME

5. Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Number Three in 2005 and Number Nine in 2007) and Patrick Fugit (Number Four in 2006 and Number Eight in 2007) tie for fifth place.



4. Gael Garcia Bernal (Number Four in 2005 and Number Seven in 2007)



3. Gaspard Ulliel (Number Five in 2006 and Number Four in 2007)



2. Andrew Scott (Number Three in 2006 and Number Five in 2007)



1. Cillian Murphy (Number One in 2006 and Number Two in 2007)




THE MEN OF THE HOUR

10. Paul Rudd (Because I wish college guys were actually like Josh from Clueless. And he’s aging so foxily…)



9. Leonardo DiCaprio (Because his face has finally caught up with the rest of him)



8. Colin Firth (In vain I have struggled to keep him off past lists; it will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love Colin Firth.)



7. Noah Taylor (Because even though you’ll probably all think I’m a lunatic for putting him here, I love him so much that I recently watched both Tomb Raider movies)



6. Mark Ruffalo (What's that you say? You don't like Mark Ruffalo? Are you high? You been smoking pot? Doing X? Falling into a K-Hole?)



5. Christian Bale (Because on this list it's not who you are underneath; it's your HOTNESS that defines you.)



4. Michael Vartan (Because if the bucket’s a-rockin’, don’t come a-kn-kn-kn-kn-knockin’! Mr. Coulson rocks my world!)



3. Romain Duris (Because he is a smoldering Frenchman, and because this photo has been my icon for ages but I don't have the heart to change it!)



2. Adrien Brody (Because he spent the majority of The Darjeeling Limited in pink boxers)



1. Chiwetel Ejiofor (Because even in a festering pile of nonsense like American Gangster he made me swoon. And I couldn't find any weird pictures of him. Only hot ones.)

The Fox List: 2007

This year's rule: ten instead of five.


10. ROMAIN DURIS (my air-quotes icon man!)



9. JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS (once a fox, always a fox!)



8. PATRICK FUGIT (my future husband!)



7. GAEL GARCIA BERNAL (yes Rachel, I will finally concede he's hotter than Diego!)



6. JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT ("Hotel California" is boring and belongs in church!)



5. ANDREW SCOTT (I may be on Team Everyone but I know a fox when I see one!)



4. GASPARD ULLIEL (looks hot licking blood off his face!)



3. CHRISTIAN BALE (also looks hot licking blood off his face!)



2. CILLIAN MURPHY (still a fox, even when he's dressed as a woman!)



1. ADRIAN GRENIER (permanent resident of my heart since Drive Me Crazy!)
