I'll go with Natalie Dormer;. The Tudors made no pretensions about what it was; enjoyable historic fluff.

My problem with Wolf Hall is that- whilst it was well acted throughout- it was a complete revisionist history, skewed by a historical writer with a specific agenda; It ends up coloring all my views about the acting involved and about how believable it is.

I didn't rate Natalie Portman that much in 'The Other Boleyn Girl' but tbh I rarely find her believable in anything, never mind a historical drama.

Natalie Dormer and Genevieve Bujold. The Tudors are obviously a fictional version, but Natalie was heartbreaking and brought so many layers to her performance.

I loved Genevieve in Anne of A thousand Days. The movie was fantastic and I loved her portrayal. She embodies what I imagine Anne Boleyn to be.

Like gypsies. 😛

I'm currently watching Wolf Hall, and Clair's Anne is super annoying. I can't wait until she's executed.

And who knew that Oz somehow time travelled, got taller, and became Henry VIII?! There's a shocker.
