The Latin lover

A powerhouse actor who happens to be off-the-charts attractive, not to mention real.

Hmmm, not as alternative as you think

People chose Bardem too. Plus the magazine has scratch and sniff men, which is the awesomest idea ever. If only Playgirl had thought of that, it might have survived. I think, dear Salon, you've been outplayed. Altho props for Seth Myers and the Australian diver dude. Adorable.

Uhm, Spain's ban on same-sex marriage?

You might want to research that a bit...same-sex marriage is legal in Spain and has been for a number of years (Spain legalized it before Canada did.) The Catholic Church went apeshit over that, but since Spain has secularized to a remarkable degree since Franco (less religious than the US now! Jeebus Lard Almighty!), its protest didn't gain any traction. I think it was in response to the Church's bitching and moaning after the legalization of same-sex marriage that Bardem made his comment that if he were gay he'd rush out and marry right away just to piss of the Church.

Sorry for the nitpicking. Anyway, great selection, even if he is an obvious choice. He's smokin' hot!

on my Oscar list

Quite possibly the best actor on the planet, Bardem is a treat to watch (and watch and watch)....Not mentioned was a fabulous film, directed by John Malkovich, "The Dancer Upstairs" with Bardem as the most exotic and sexy detective ever seen on film.
