5. Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam- Williams is given the right part that allows him to show his comedic ability in this film, it is not anything great, but it still is an effective enough performance.
4. Marcello Mastroianni in Dark Eyes- Mastroianni puts a whole lot of effort in his big romantic performance, some of his performance does not entirely pay off, but enough does for this to be overall a charming as well as tragic performance.
3. Michael Douglas in Wall Street- Douglas' Gordon Gekko is not the most three dimensional character, but Douglas is properly commanding and convincing in his entirely villainous role.
2. William Hurt in Broadcast News- Hurt's performance is not all that
interesting, but it does fulfill the requirement of his role as the
rather shallow newscaster.
1. Jack Nicholson in Ironweed- Nicholson for me this year stands far and above the rest of the performances. His performance as the homeless alcoholic Francis Phelan is a sad, haunting, memorable performance, that easily is my choice.
Deserving Performances:
John Lone in The Last Emperor

Oh dear, I haven't seen a single one of them...I hope you will do a year soon where I have seen the performances! :-)
Anyway, Jack sounds really interesting. But I will see him when I check out the movie for Meryl.
Jack was an easy pick I guess, even though I preferred Mastroianni. Could you do 2009 or 2008 next or soon?
Awesome reviews as usual, I agree I would also love to see 2008 or 2009
Thanks Anonymous, and 2008 will be the next 00 year I do. It will be soon but not next.
I think that Steve Martin in Roxanne is another deserving performance
Great, just like I predicted the ranking will be. Can you do 1951, 1988, 1975, 1944, 1953 or 1957 next?
Anonymous: I have not watched Roxanne, but I probably will soon.
Anonymous: It will be one of those years.
Oh I fell behind with reading. Nicholson seems to be an easy pick.
What'd you think of Yves Montand in Manon des Sources or of Nicolas Cage in Moonstruck?
What kind of score do you think you'd give William Hurt now after rewatching Broadcast News, and where do you think you would rank him?
I really need to update this review, I just need to get to it. I would give him second place out of the nominees and a 4.5 rating.
