RUSSIA! Magazine presents The Rolling "R" Awards 2008 (Nominees)

Award Nominees for the best Russian accent by a non-Russian actor: VOTE WITH YOUR COMMENTS!

Almost every major American actor has, at some point, tried on a Russian accent or delivered a couple of lines in Russian. Almost all of them sucked. Recently, we have announced the inaugural winners of the Rolling R, our prize for the best portrayals of Russians Hollywood has to offer. And here are this year's nominations.

The problem with Cate Blanchett is that her native English accent bleeds through a little too much...but she has mastered the rolling R...

@shunkahato shes austrailian

[shittyfagg]

@ShockTherapist007 it wasn't that good.. stress was a tad off. Also, Blanchett's accent just licked balls, it really did.

@adnilgreen thanks--within the year I learned that Ms. Blanchett is in fact Australian and not English...proving her mastery of accents is impressive.

@shunkahato

u mean Australian accent :)

[ShockTherapist007]

hey kingsley prononced it perfectly! but he was speaking Russian, not English with a Russian accent, like the rest. Krupa's got the best accent and Blanchett's got the worst.

[Corsa096322]

Olek Krupa is the closest, imo. But I'm not sure he's 100% "non-Russian". It's really slavish name)

[AgentWolfy007]

PC, or MAC? LOL XD

[thedancemetaltwins]
