5. Micheal Caine in Educating Rita- I like Caine's performance and he
realistically portrays the tired, disinterested nature of the character.
He just is not given enough to do though, and the very nature of the
character forces him to be almost an entirely reactive character.
4. Tom Conti in Reuben, Reuben- Conti's first scene is absolutely brilliant
5 material in my book, he has the perfect charm, and intelligence in
that scene, he is also great in his last scene, but between these two
scenes he is subject to some redundant material, though he performs it well.
3. Albert Finney in The Dresser- This was a somewhat difficult choice to make, as Finney is very good in portraying his domineering, as well as very much vulnerable actor, extremely well. It is a very challenging role especially in the constant pain of Sir only alleviated briefly by his duties for the show. but Finney meets the challenge well.
2. Robert Duvall in Tender Mercies- This is a brilliant performance by
Duvall, that never comprises for a cheap trick, but always stays true
and honest to his character.
1. Tom Courtenay in The Dresser- He made the dresser a fascinating
character, and made a lasting impression with his heartbreaking final
speech showing how much Sir meant to Norman.
Deserving Performances:
Christopher Walken in The Dead Zone
