WatchMojo’s Actor of the Year: 2014


it’s gonna be super fun as the year
draws to a close it’s up to us to decide
who had the most mojo here
welcome to watchmojo.com and in honor of
year’s end we’re making a choice for
actor of the Year 2014 for this video
we’re going to discuss a few of the
actors that we felt has the highest
profiles this year but there can be only
one so we’re gonna choose who we think
had the biggest year and who is 2014’s
movie man with mojo prepared to do
anything in fact about the only people
the nominees for 2014’s movie man with
mojo are Matthew McConaughey Benedict
Cumberbatch Ben Affleck Channing Tatum
and Chris Pratt
[Applause]
we may not have seen him stripped down
this year but there’s no denying
Channing Tatum stepped up in 2014
I’m fighting for something that’s real
for the first time in my life between
his voice roles in the lego movie our
super 8 yeah and the book of life Robbie
bro or his live-action efforts in 22
Jump Street and Foxcatcher he’s been one
busy guy stop now just remember me I’m
your best nightmare I’m your worst
nightmare
comedy drama doesn’t matter Tatum’s got
the golden touch want to be the best in
the world when I go to world’s one goal
I’m gonna wake up and I’ll be 50 and
I’ll still be doing this shit that’s
alright that’s fine
if you thought Ben Affleck had peaked in
the 90s with Good Will Hunting that’s
bullshit or a couple of years ago with
Argo our golf yourself think again aside
from headlines about his gambling and
political diatribes 2014 saw the actor
take the lead in gone girl one of the
year’s most discussed films kill your
wife Nick and not just cuz you get to
see little Benny very high standards but
you probably remember 2014 most fondly
as the year the hype train really
started surrounding Ben Affleck’s
casting as the Dark Knight in Batman vs
Superman dawn of Justice I look on this
thing I looked on the first comment it’s
like been author’s gonna be Batman the
first Lucas goes love him or hate him
you’re gonna watch that film
[Music]
we now trade the cape and cowl for a
deerstalker cap Benedict Cumberbatch has
been TVs Sherlock Holmes since 2010 but
it was in 2014 that the world truly
realized what a dashing man he is oh did
we say the world we meant the Emmys
Benedict Cumberbatch and that’s without
even mentioning movies like Penguins of
Madagascar turn yourself in David The
Hobbit the Battle of the five armies and
his much touted performance in the
imitation game if you try and win know
who shor labelled this generation Sir
Laurence Olivier by the Sunday Times and
one of Time Magazine’s most influential
people in the world the newly engaged
actor is sure to be keeping his
Cumberbitches happy into 2015 they’re
not Cumberbitches anymore a Chinese name
every time I’m on the cumbers comeback
now I’m making it up we’re now into the
big leagues and on to our runner-up you
hear this or not Matthew McConaughey
like I’d consider myself a realist time
but in philosophical terms I’m what’s
called a pessimist okay what’s that mean
means I’m bad at parties McConaughey has
certainly come a long way from the pot
smoking naked Bongo playing rom-com star
and guy we knew a few years ago worried
about that later
nabbing an Oscar in 2014 for his work in
the previous year’s Dallas buyers club
slash McConaughey opted for a few small
screen roles that year I know
and after all these years there’s a
victory in that from his acclaimed
performance on true detective to his all
right we’ll call them bizarre Lincoln TV
ads sometimes you gotta go back the
mikado sauce was in full effect in 2014
I know they say you can’t go back yes
you can it all culminated with
interstellar a sci-fi saga that proved
to audiences McConaughey was not ready
to sit back and relax so who could
possibly beat such a year this year’s
movie man with mojo is Chris Pratt dude
awesomesauce you’ve seen him as the
goofy guy the supporting actor and no
disrespect the cute but awkward and kind
of chubby Andy Dwyer thank you Wow why
are you naked but 2014 was the year
Chris Pratt became a leading man without
a doubt not only showing off his nothing
short of miraculous physical
transformation into an undisputed
celebrity hot guy Fenton is this great
diet it’s called the hey fat-ass get
into shape
so you can be in my movie diet Pratt
also made his Hollywood presence no it
truly seems like everything is awesome
when it comes to being Chris Pratt
especially in 2014 he started not one
but two of the year’s most successful
and highest-grossing flicks because you
are this special and so am I the only
guy who could steal scenes from a
wisecracking raccoon and a monosyllabic
tree I am Groot crack was also cast in
2015’s Jurassic world I just went and
made a new dinosaur probably not a good
idea
meaning we can look forward to another
year of Pratt fever I play like a
military veteran sort of like a tough
brash John Wayne kind of a character
have you ever heard that doesn’t French
brain but even more important than that
he was just everywhere in 2014 for all
the right reasons
Ryder listen to these words and that
coupled with the fact that he just seems
like the type of dude you’d love to
chill with Chris Pratt is our 2014 man
with mojo do you agree with our choices
which actor do you think was everywhere
in 2014 no no don’t don’t do that that’s
really not a good question for more
