5. Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting- Williams although struggles a bit to be wholly believable in terms of the "history" of the character, does fantastic in articulating the character's wisdom through difficult experience.
4. Greg Kinnear in As Good As It Gets- Greg Kinnear is very good in all his
scenes and shows the changes of his character well, even in amidst of
bad writing.
3. Anthony Hopkins in Amistad- Hopkins is very good as John Quincy Adams,
playing the part as it should be played, with a very good final speech.
2. Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights- Burt Reynolds is very good in Boogie
Nights making Jack Horner into such a loving and caring father figure.
1. Robert Forster in Jackie Brown- Forster plays his role pitch perfectly sharing marvelous chemistry with Pam Grier.
Deserving Performances:
Kevin Spacey in L.A. Confidential

A really underwhelming year, it seems. Do you only give Hopkins, Kinnear, and Brown nominations because it's a weak year?
Yes.
What about the LA Confidential cast?
No love for James Cromwell?
Well I clearly liked Spacey from that cast, and Cromwell performance is one I need to focus more on when I watch the film again.
I agree with Celso. As L.A. Confidential is one of my all-time favorite films, I have seen is numerous times and actually prefer Cromwell to Spacey though I feel both of them should have been nominated.
I know 1945 isnt a particular good year so far, did you ever see Lost Highway Louis, because instead of Williams and Hopkins, Robert Blake might have been a good choice for a nomination although it was brief.
I have not seen Lost Highway yet.
