4. Robert Duvall in The Godfather- Duvall is perfectly fine in the somewhat limited role of Tom Hagan. He is always exactly as Hagan should be, and does show more to him when he has the chance.
2. Joel Grey in Cabaret- Grey's performance is a brilliant energetic performance, that creates an incredibly memorable character and makes for a very entertaining and interesting performance.
1. Al Pacino in The Godfather- A leading performance to be sure although a great performance either way. Pacino effectively shows the transformation of a man.

So glad Grey didn't get your vote :]
Good reviews! As a reader, I would love to see what you have to say about either the 1980 or 2009 Supporting Actor races.
Anonymous: Thank you. I will keep those years in mind.
Yay for Al! Great work as always!
You know what a great year for supporting performances would be? 1990. for the sole purpose of reviewing Joe Pesci as Tommy DeVito.
Thank you Fritz.
Dshultz: That is another year I will keep in mind, and yes that is a good reason to do that year.
This was quite obvious and deserved. I'm surprised a bit that Duvall is #5. Interesting enough, this would be my ranking, too. :D
