And Irrfan Khan was close to making my final 5. And I know Affleck will be cited somewhere in your Actor list (but where? It's so crowded over there!).<BR/><BR/>Surprised that neither Heath Ledger or Albert Finney made your semi-finalists, thought they'd be right up your street.com. Also thought you might champion Homayoun Ershadi - who is my most off-consensus pick of the year - I'm still so shocked no-one is singling out this performance! It's so Oscarbait in that noble father/schoolteacher kind of way (in spite of its foreignness). Or it could be that noble doesn't get Oscars for men anymore, the same way that tits out no longer means gold for the ladies? Or am I just misjudging the performance?<BR/><BR/>My ballot (so far):<BR/><BR/>Casey Affleck - The Assasination...<BR/>Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men<BR/>Homayoun Ershadi - The Kite Runner<BR/>Hal Holbrook - Into the Wild<BR/>Tom Wilkinson - Michael Clayton<BR/><BR/>...with Holbrook winning hands down, Ershadi getting silver and Bardem for the bronze.<BR/><BR/>I predict Von Sydow as your winner, Bardem for your silver and Khan to take bronze.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-398910195789766902008-01-13T20:00:00.000-05:002008-01-13T20:00:00.000-05:00You skipped 2 of my favourites - Vlad Ivanov (rest...You skipped 2 of my favourites - Vlad Ivanov (restrained, startling, perfectly calibrated monster, but we've been over this), and I'm not sure if you got to see Superbad, but one kid called Christopher Mintz-Plasse was sensational in it - very convincing and unaffected, turning the sex-starved nerd stereotype into a freakishly human-like character.Y Kant Goran Ritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058411467996289416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-31330517563233399612008-01-13T19:58:00.000-05:002008-01-13T19:58:00.000-05:00Holy shit… my jaw hit the floor. Hal Holbrook... M...Holy shit… my jaw hit the floor. <BR/><BR/>Hal Holbrook... Max von Sydrow… Irfan Khan?<BR/><BR/>I guess my shock at seeing the old timers is because I’d thought you’d place them in the limited/ cameo category. And I wasn’t sure if you thought Wilkinson over did it with the scenery-chewing so… with the exception of Bardem I was genuinely surprised. <BR/><BR/>And damn. I was almost positive Downey Jr would make it. <BR/><BR/>My only real qualm is the absence of Tommy Lee Jones whose haunted face and final words were just too perfect in NO COUNTRY. Oh, and I’m not sure about Greenwood over both new comer Marcus Carl Franklin who turned in a fine performance and Heath Ledger who worked beautifully opposite Gainsbourg to render quite a stinging portrait of marital collapse. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I LOVE your descriptions of each performance (particularly Bardem’s)- they’re always so rich and insightful.

As for supporting actor, as of now I'd pick Javier Bardem, Hal Holbrook, James Marsden (for <I>Enchanted</I>- although the pic of <I>Hairspray</I> you used makes me smile without fail just remembering how hilariously goofy he was), Paul Schneider (for <I>Jesse James</I>), and Tommy Lee Jones (for <I>No Country</I>).<BR/><BR/>Casey Affleck is- and I assume you're saying too, Nat!- a lead so he's not on this list.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825700768032126915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75367252432221722132008-01-13T19:36:00.000-05:002008-01-13T19:36:00.000-05:00my top 5 are in no particular order1 - javier bard...my top 5 are in no particular order<BR/><BR/>1 - javier bardem - no country for old men - his smile to woody h priceless<BR/>2- stephen graham - this is england you got to se e this nat your fb awards would be so different<BR/>3 - albert finney - before the devil knows you're dead his line reading of " i love you" to his wife in the hospital bed<BR/>4 - james marsden - enchanted - 116th and broadway and the goofy look on his face<BR/>5 - tom wilkinson - michael clayton - his rant in jail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-46761554045460365642008-01-13T19:01:00.000-05:002008-01-13T19:01:00.000-05:00My list goes:Javier Bardem - NCFOMAlan Rickman - S...My list goes:<BR/><BR/>Javier Bardem - NCFOM<BR/>Alan Rickman - Sweeney Todd<BR/>Max Von Sydow - TDBAB<BR/>Irfan Khan - A Mighty Heart/The Namesake<BR/>Wang Lee-Hom - Lust, Caution.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure whether I want to give the win to Bardem, though.

But so far the supporting actors I think did a good job are:<BR/><BR/>1. Casey Affleck - Jesse James (yeah...I know he's on screen more than Pitt - I suck)<BR/>2. James Marsden - Enchanted<BR/>3. Joe Anderson - Across the Universe<BR/>4. Ben Foster - 3:10 to Yuma<BR/>5. Vlad Ivanov - 4 Months...<BR/>6. Tom Wilkinson - Michael Clayton<BR/><BR/>Though, the only ones that have any chance of staying in my Top 6 after I see the 50 films I've got left to see (:P) are Affleck, Marsden, Anderson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
