Alternate Best Supporting Actor 2003: Results

5. Albert Finney in Big Fish- Finney gives a fairly simplistic performance, but appropriately so. He fills his role with the right charm and warmth necessary.
4. Peter Sarsgaard in Shattered Glass-Sarsgaard gives an understated and effective performance in his depiction of a editor who slowly sees his popular writer for the liar he is.
3. Kevin Bacon in Mystic River- This was the battle of the subtle, and understated really. I must say that this is most certainly a toss up, really I hate to put Sargaard fourth but I don't really feel him as fourth. I really liked all four equally and I basically just had to pick one. Bacon is my choice at the moment giving a moving performance, that is again very understated, that finds a way to give the best performance of his film.
2. Paul Bettany in Master and Commander- Bettany another good understated performance this year as a quiet source of reason and warmth on a war ship.
1. Sean Astin- The Return of The King- Astin capitalizes on his work from the previous film fully realizes his character with a powerful passion.

Let's see, 1984 is a toughie:

James Woods in Once Upon a Time in America
Robert Englund in A Nightmare on Elm Street
John Candy in Splash
Jeffrey Jones in Amadeus

I can't think of a fifth.

Robert MacFarlane said...

Also, John Noble would have been bottom of the list for me.

Michael Patison said...

For 1984:
Anthony Michael Hall in Sixteen Candles
Jeffrey Jones in Amadeus
Rob Reiner in This Is Spinal Tap
Denzel Washington in A Soldier's Story
James Woods in Once Upon a Time in America

I really couldn't think of a 4th or a 5th so I just threw in Denzel and Reiner

Michael Patison said...

And Noble would be about where you've ranked him. I thought he effectively portrayed the inability his character has to understand his own situation and his own children and I came to truly despise him and I actually think I cheered when he jumped off the cliff. I thought he was effective.

I'm so glad you went with Kevin Bacon for the number one spot!

Nick Apollo Forte, Broadway Danny Rose

Danny DeVito, Romancing the Stone
Judge Reinhold, Beverly Hills Cop
