Will Ferrell: five best moments
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is one of the best loved comedies of the last decade, giving rise to a slew of catchphrases, been the subject of quasi-academic discussion, and securing Will Ferrell's position as one of the best comic actors of his generation.

Next week sees the release of its long-awaited sequel Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. To mark the occasion, we asked readers to help nominate Will Ferrell's greatest performances to date. Here's our pick of the bunch – but are there any glaring omissions? Tell us you all-time favourites in the thread below.

"Why has Elf become so beloved in such a short time?" wrote Stuart Heritage last week. "I think it might be because it manages to delicately walk a very narrow line. It's much harder than it looks to get the tonality of a Christmas film right … Elf is silly but tender. It's respectfully disrespectful. It's fleetingly sad, but it's incredibly funny. It is a Christmas miracle."

He is only on screen for a few minutes, but Ferrell nearly steals the film as wedding crashing doyen and obnoxious man-child Chazz Reinhold.

Ferrell is the fiery yin to Jon Heder's uptight yang – and the pair make a great comedy double-act as ice skating rivals-turned-teammates.

A comparatively straight role for Ferrell in a postmodern tale of a tax accountant who starts to hear his entire life being narrated by a novelist.

Whether you're a Ferrell fan or not, it can't be denied that he's got "obnoxious" performances down pat. In this Mighty Ducks-esque sports comedy he's a mild-mannered vitamin salesman who becomes a hyper-competitive team coach after a few cups of coffee.

Luke Bryan takes in nephew after death of brother-in-law
Luke Bryan is raising another little boy.

The 38-year-old country star opened up to ABC News about the death of his brother-in-law, Ben Lee Cheshire, this past November and how following the tragic loss, his 13-year-old nephew Til is now residing with him in Nashville.

Til joins Bryan, his wife Caroline and the couple's two sons, Bo and Tate.

"We feel like if we just stay positive through this, maybe we'll be a positive inspiration for people that had these things happen to 'em," Bryan said.

"You just have to plow on and play the hand that's dealt."

Sadly, Til's mother, who was Bryan's sister, also passed away in 2007.

"It's every day on the phone all day trying to talk with the family and figure out what to do, but it's what you gotta do," he said.

Til has two older sisters and while they are not staying with Bryan right now, he told ABC they come over often.

"You know, we just stay positive. I think people expect that from me," he continued after admitting it can be a bit overwhelming at times.

"I have to pray that people that have had similar situations can maybe look at my family and see me positively dealing with it. I'm not saying it's easy."

Bryan spoke out publicly at December's American Country Countdown Awards in an emotional speech on stage about the tragedy in his personal life.

"I want to thank all of my fans for the last couple of weeks in my life, for keeping my family in your prayers," he said to the crowd.

"And I wanna also recognize the country music community, all the artists. Fans, let me explain something to you: You guys support wonderful artists, because they have rallied around me and helped me and my family through the last couple of weeks. It's just nice to feel loved in a situation."

The young Til was in the audience that night as Bryan's guest and the "Play It Again" singer sweetly gave him a shout out while on stage.
