4. Joaquin Phoenix in Walk The Line- Phoenix gives an okay dramatic performance I suppose but he does not give one that does Johnny Cash any justice.
3. David Straithairn in Good Night and Good Luck- Straithairn lacks much of a challenge as Edward R. Murrow but I do think he gives good performance although really in only a functional fashion.
2. Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain- Ledger gives an incredibly strong performance and mixes in brilliant subtlety with genuine emotion practically perfectly.
1. Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote- Hoffman simply is brilliant from beginning to end in this film. Every single scene he nails completely. He always is Truman Capote I never doubted it which is amazing, and if that was not enough his performance is one of the most powerful performances ever.

I knew that Hoffman would win, but I thought you might like Phoenix and Howard. What's next?
A Supporting year that will not take long and then the poll winner.
No love for Jake Gyllenhaal? He was a co-leading!
I wait until after I review supporting nominees to give them a nomination even if they can be considered leading.
I'd probably give low grades to the last three. It just shows Best Actress wasn't the only category hard up that year.
Well, Hoffman won as I thought. He was amazing that's for sure.
Sage: It was just a weak year overall for film I felt, it had some standout performances but that was about it.
I think I would have preferred if Heath Ledger had won. There was something a little . . . theatrical in Hoffman's portrayal of Truman Capote.
