Your Illuminati Bracket: The Championship
Tom Brady. Morgan Freeman. Only One Can Emerge Victorious.
It all comes down to this.
For the past week, you’ve voted in the inaugural Ultimate Illuminati bracket. The concept was simple: which celebrity, based on his or her influence and past accomplishments, was most likely to be in the world’s most surreptitiously powerful organization?
The Internet seems to think everyone is in it. But, through this satirical bracket, we hope to learn the truth.

After five rounds of balloting, you have chosen your final two candidates. Strong cases can be made for both. Let’s get right to it.
Tom Brady
He gave a fanbase starved for success four titles in 14 years. He pushed his way past football wunderkind Peyton Manning to top the list of QBs of his generation. He bounced back from a freak knee injury. He’s in the next installment of Ted. These are all facts, and yet one question remains: Is Tom Brady the king of the Illuminati?
vs. Morgan Freeman
He has played a pimp, a loyal driver, a scientist, and God. His voice makes movies about penguins interesting. Old as he is, he shows no signs of slowing down. Is Morgan Freeman pulling the strings, and using Tom Brady’s greatness to distract us?
