Awarded to the actress deemed by Cosmo voters to have best
portrayed the character they would most like to be intimidate with in an
eligible 2002 film. Voters will be indicating the name of the actress on
their ballot, but are really nominating the character, at least as portrayed
by that actor. Also, voters may interpret "intimate" however they want.
For some, it may be a candlelight dinner, a furtive fumble, a passionate
affair, or a lifelong romance. (Or, for possible nominees from at least
three different films, a love that lasts for all eternity.)
