Results of The Eight Movie Vote

NOTE: if two or more actors receive the same number of votes, their names will be listed alphabetically.

NOTE from 2018: This was from 20 years ago. Back then I would have liked to see Jodie Foster as Catherine and Julie Delpy as Mireille, but they're both way too old now. I'd have to think about who I'd like to see in those roles now.
