Best Scene: Diello finds out he's been had.
Best Scene: Hurstwood confesses his love to Carrie.
3. Michael Denison in The Importance of Being Earnest- Denison gives a hilarious turn that always has brilliant timing and brings the humor out of his material.
Best Scene: His reactions to the final revelations.
2. John Wayne in The Quiet Man- Wayne gives a winning performance that capitalizes on the best of his on screen persona.
Best Scene: Remembering the fatal fight.
1. Takashi Shimura in Ikiru- I should quickly say that I added what I thought was the best scene from each performance simply for fun. This year came down to Wayne and Shimura, although Denison was right behind them as I loved his performance as well. I have to say I hate and love these years as I hate to have to choose to between two performances I like equally but I hate to have to choose. Either way my choice goes to Shimura's powerful performance that is a heartbreaking and inspiring depiction of a dying man.

I also like "the best scene" concept very much.
I like it 2 =D makes it cool for when if we see the film we can see that best scene and go "ye Louis was right it was the best scene im glad I saw that"
I'll support the best scene thing as well. An "Oscar scene" is something people look for when analyzing Oscar nominations so this seems like a great equivalent.
I'm glad everyone seems to like the Best Scene addition, I think I'll try to slowly add them to the previous years.
You've accidentally given James Mason a 5
