Alternate Best Supporting Actor 1973: Results

5. Max von Sydow in The Exorcist- Sydow has a limited role but properly gives the weight and power to his role.


Best Scene: Father Merrin sees the demonic statue in the desert. 
4. Edward G. Robinson in Soylent Green- His film is not much but Robinson gives a heartfelt performance that brings dramatic weight to a film sorely lacking in it otherwise.

Best Scene: Sol's euthanasia scene.
3. Robert De Niro in Mean Streets- De Niro gives an effectively manic performance that infuses a childlike enthusiasm that works perfectly for the part.

Best Scene: Johnny Boy threatens the man he owes money to. 
2. Robert Ryan in The Iceman Cometh- Ryan gives a powerful performance piercing through the film by realizing his character's cynicism brilliantly by always managing to show that this comes from his broken dreams.

Best Scene: Larry's final speech. 
1. Robert Shaw in The Sting- Good Prediction Lezlie. This was a difficult choice to make as Ryan and Shaw are both incredible Ryan realizing his complex character brilliantly, but Shaw making so much out of a part that is so little. For the moment the win goes to Shaw showing why he is my favorite supporting actor ever tearing into scenes with such conviction, and giving a striking villianous turn.

Best Scene: "The name's Lonnegan Doyle Lonnegan you're gonna remember that name."

theres no next year, does that mean that Joaquin and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are next for The Master.

Louis Morgan said...

You can probably guess that.

there should be a drum roll or a countdown lol =D since I imagine there will be a lot of bickering and disagreements on this blog when they are posted lol =D

If you had kept Jason Miller in Supporting, where would he have been ranked?

dinasztie said...

Shaw is indeed excellent in The Sting. That man was cheated out of a couple of well-deserved Oscar nods, like this one, Jaws and From Russia with Love, just to name a few.

I can't wait to see your thoughts on The Master guys! :)

Mark: He would probably be number one, but he's definitely lead for me.
