Best Actor 1998: Results

5. Robeto Benigni in Life is Beautiful- Well he certainly smiles a lot and clowns around but that is basically all he does.
4. Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan- Tom Hanks stays as a man to follow through the war epic of a film, and finds time to develop his character despite the nature of the film.
3.Ian McKellen in Gods and Monsters- McKellen gives a very effective, and believable performance as James Whale, suggesting all of his complicated past, and his current predicaments exceedingly well.
2. Edward Norton in American History X- Edward Norton is effective in portraying the intensity of his character's hatred but also the poignancy in his reformation. 
1. Nick Nolte in Affliction- Nick Nolte never gives an effective depiction of a stunted man falling off an edge.

I thought Redgrave was fine but nothing special.
