Readers' Favorites: Pick your top male celebs of 2013

The British have made a business of playing American heroes - see: Henry Cavill and Andrew Garfield - but we can't say we're mad about it.

What would 2013 have been without the talents of other U.K. actors like Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba, or Aussie brothers Chris and Liam Hemsworth? OK, so some of our top male celebrities are imports. Considering the strength they're bringing to American cinema and music, we'll take being invaded.

We want to know what you think: Which male stars could do no wrong for you in 2013? Vote for up to 10 of your favorites by noon E.T. on December 18, and then check back the week of December 23 for the results.

    Oh well...the polls are closed. But I have to say that Idris Elba is definitely on my top ten list of favorites.

    I'd live to vote for Tom Hiddleston 10 times. He's worth 10 of any other actor. Plus he can dance circles around all of them ... literally! He's an incredible, amazing, white-hot talent. Watching him is a spiritual experience.

    Tom Hiddleston is my favorite actor (i'm also in love with him so much that since I knew he exist I just can't fall in love with no one) he's an amazing person, a gentleman full of kindness and love for his fans (he has an army) he has talent, he has passion for his work, he's burned with glorious purpose! Many wonderful qualities in one single man, I wonder...is he real? Sometimes I believe he's a dream that maybe he isn't real and that frightens me. I just know he will be even more famous and that we're going to watch him in many movies because that's what we (Hiddles Army) want! He inspires millions of fans all over the globe! And we have to admit that when he smiles the world seems to light up and is more beautiful and all the sorrow disappears (it happens to me) no one can compete with that smile and that laughter (the famous "ehehe") We love Tom (but no more than I do). Tom Hiddleston will win!

    Please! The actor that stands head and shoulders above them all is Hugh Jackman! He can sing, he can dance, he can do comedy, he can do drama, he is magical in theatre. He's gorgeous! In short, he is the total package. No one even comes close!

    Voting for Tom Hiddleston because he is simply the best. Polite, kind, talented, intelligent, charming, humble, funny, and a whole lot of adjectives that won't even begin to make the complete picture that he is. And Robert Downey Jr. Because he's Rubber Ducky and I love him.
