  • From the acclaimed 2009 film Crazy Heart, we have a journalist named Jean Craddock (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who is looking to do a story on Otis "Bad" Blake, who was at one time a major country music star but is now reduced to playing dives. She befriends Blake and helps revive his career and is a great plot device. Throw in that this is well acted, and we think we have a sleeper candidate here.
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Crazy Heart (2009)
  • Actor/Actress: Maggie Gyllenhaal
  • Position Portrayed: Journalist
  • Why you should vote:: Gyllenhaal was fantastic in it and was integral to the plot.
  • Why you should not vote:: We think there are other journalists worthy of consideration.
