4. Michael V. Gazzo in The Godfather Part II- Gazzo effectively creates a very specific portrait of an old mobster. Though he is a last minute replacement in a way Gazzo still manages to sort of make his own unique mark on the film.
2. Jeff Bridges in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot- Bridges gives an enjoyable, entertaining, and humorous performance as the carefree Lightfoot. He creates a likable character, as well as manages his rather sad transition at the end of the film equally well.
1. Robert De Niro in The Godfather Part II- Good prediction RatedRStar. De Niro gives an excellent performance as the young Vito Corleone. He shows a very particular man, and quietly conveys the man's great determination, ambition, power, and love for his family.
Deserving Performances:
John Cazale in The Godfather Part II (Read My Review Here)
John Huston in Chinatown
Robert Shaw in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

I'm surprised to see Jeff Bridges rated so high.
Good year, would've been great had Cazale been nominated. Can you do 1995 sometime soon?
So what was your #1 of the year then, Louis, since not all of your favorites were actually nominated?
Anonymous: Well I actually do like Bridges, but not his nominated lead performances very much.
dshultz: Well I will try to get to it eventually.
JJJ: Well as much as I like the nominees, as well as Huston, and Shaw who are great villains, Cazale's performance stands as the best of the best for me.
I love Jeff Briidges. I'm just surprised that this particular performance got such a high score.
Wow, De Niro is most certainly the best. :D
Louis, can you do 1967 next?
Another year I will try to get to, but it will not be next.
I think this is the only one Ive ever got all 5 right ever haha lol =D
