The Ultimate Walt Disney Company Performances Bracket -- Round Two, Day Fifteen

Are you ready for the truth?

Can you believe how much money Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is estimated to make this weekend? Neither can I! Is that because I’m writing these words more than a full week before the film opens, and thus have literally no idea how much money it’s going to make? …oh, hush, you.

Let’s get to the vote!

(2) Robin Williams, Aladdin vs. (34) Fred MacMurray, The Absent-Minded Professor: I mentioned a few days ago that we’d have a chance to vote for Robin Williams in a no-doubter of a role in this round, and…well, what do you know, you can now vote for Robin Williams in a no-doubter of a role. I don’t have to tell you why, right?

(15) Samuel L. Jackson, Unbreakable vs. (47) Josh Gad, Frozen: Nothing against my fellow Josh, but Samuel L. Jackson is excellent in Unbreakable as Elijah and a hell of a lot better than an obnoxious talking snowman who likes all things summer. (Potentially a little something against my fellow Josh.) Give this one to Mr. Jackson, please.

(7) Jerry Orbach, Beauty and the Beast vs. (39) George Sanders, The Jungle Book: While I very much enjoy George Sanders as Shere Khan, Jerry Orbach was a legend among men for his fine work as Lumiere. (And also for playing Lennie Briscoe, but we’re not voting for his work there. Or his work as Harry McGraw on Murder, She Wrote.) The candelabrum oughta move on.

(10) Jamie Lee Curtis, Freaky Friday vs. (23) Donna Murphy, Tangled: You know what makes no sense to me? (And I may have mentioned this already, but whatever.) Jamie Lee Curtis getting a legacy Oscar nomination for Everything Everywhere All At Once, a film I very much enjoyed almost in spite of her mostly forgettable supporting role. You know what she should have been nominated for? Her immensely funny performance in the 2003 remake of Freaky Friday. Easy vote for me. Sorry, Donna.
