Thanks for picking this year! this is a tough one, but I think Penn, Cage or Hopkins for the win

3 highly acclaimed performances (Cage, Hopkins & Penn) that I have yet to see. This should be exciting!

Interesting year! I hope Troisi or Hopkins wins! Penn should be last, he was good overall but he had some really bad scenes in my opinion.

1. Penn
2. Hopkins
3. Cage
4. Dreyfuss
5. Troisi

Sean Penn without even blinking.

I've seen three of these and I'd think I'd pick Penn. Cage is good, but hollow, and Hopkins is a mess, just like the whole movie.

i love penn,think cage is overrated,dreyfuss does wonders with a cliched role and sappy movie,not seen troisi & hopkins is miscast.

I haven't seen Dreyfuss yet, but this is my own rating:

1 Penn
2 Cage
3 Hopkins
4 Troisi

Penn, easily.

Predictions:
1)Penn
2)Cage
3)Troisi
4)Hopkins
5)Dreyfuss

I expect Penn and Cage to get high grades and the others to get rather low ratings.

Penn is great but i agree with the academy (and almost any other critics)here.I'm no fan of Cage overall but here he is simply outstanding.

Somewhere between Penn, Hopkins and Cage, they're all equally great, but I think Hopkins may have had more to do with his role, the movie touched a lot of bases.
