5. Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express- Finney is not anything overly great in the film, but I thought he did what he needed to.
4. Dustin Hoffman in Lenny- Hoffman never really seems like he is Lenny Bruce and he is a bit boring at the beginning, but later on he gives a very effective performance.
3. Al Pacino in the Godfather Part 2- Pacino is completely brilliant as Micheal Corleone and successfully continues the story of an incredibly memorable character
2. Jack Nicholson in Chinatown- Nicholson creates an incredibly memorable private detective, and makes the most of his natural charisma to deliver one of his finest performances.
1. Art Carney in Harry and Tonto- Art Carney creates a perfect portrait of an elderly man. Carney completely deserved to win and is unfairly maligned by people who probably have not seen his brilliant performance.
My Nominees:
Art Carney in Harry and Tonto
Jack Nicholson in Chinatown
Al Pacino in The Godfather Part 2
Gene Hackman in The Conversation
Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein

My exact ranking :]
I guess I should see "Harry and Tonto" someday!
Sage: I'm glad we agree on the ranking.
Fritz: Its worth seeing for Carney's performance.
I thought Pacino would win, but I guess I was wrong. So, 1969 is next?
Pacino certainly could have been the winner, I took me awhile to choose the ranking. I would do 1969 but both links for Anne of the Thousand days reported that the file no longer existed.
Oh, I'm sorry!
Don't worry about it Joe.
