Thank god you put horn last
Yes! Gosling won the alternate ballot.
My top 5:
1. Ryan Gosling (Drive)
2. Jean Dujardin (The Artist)
3. Woody Harrelson (Rampart)
4. Peter Mullan (Tyrannosaur)
5. Ralph Fiennes (Coriolanus)
Fassbender (Shame), Shannon (Take Shelter), Hardy/Edgerton (Warrior), and Gleeson (The Guard) are THIS close though.
Interesting yet immensely gladdening that you still left Oldman first. He was simply fantastic. As for 1954, nobody's beating Brando, I don't think, but anyway:
Charles Laughton in Hobson's Choice
James Mason in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Toshiro Mifune in Seven Samurai
Ray Milland in Dial M for Murder
James Stewart in Rear Window
Well, my two favorites, the michaels, both lost. Damn. But, my overall favorite, Gary Oldman, remains at the top. Yay.
Very nice. My Top 5:
1. Fassbender
2. Oldman
3. Gosling
4. Dujardin
5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt for 50/50
(Matthias Schoenaerts for Bullhead is a close 6th)
One question though: How is Asa Butterfield's performance in Hugo better than Hunter McCracken's in Tree of Life?
Can you please do 74 soon :)
@JamVanTel
I love how you've included Matthias Schoenaerts, I think he gave an outstanding performance! Have you seen Rust and Bone?
JamDenTel: One spot ahead means I just slightly preferred him. McCracken's performance in itself I thought was perfectly fine, but unlike Pitt in that film I did always think it never became more than just one of Malick's tools.
Did you not like leo in j edgar.
I did not list DiCaprio as he would be one I would do for a return five.
I thought Fassbender would get it, but I'm glad Gosling has got it!! Never seen the film though!
What were your thoughts on Redmayne?
He was extremely bland and uninteresting.
It's a complete travesty that Gosling and Fassbender were not nominated.
Clooney and Bichir to me should have never made the list.
What did you think of 50/50? Joseph Gordon-Levitt specifically
Really wish you'd done a write-up of Woody Harrelson's visceral, cut-to-the-bone performance as Dave Brown in "Rampart." He was easily deserving, my #2 of a strong year for Best Actor.
Honestly I would have included him if I did not heed Robert Wieckiewicz as a request as the forty minutes I saw of his performance I thought he was quite remarkable. I really need to get around to finishing the film.
Noticed you put Matt Damon in "The Adjustment Bureau" at #21. So, my following up questions are this:
-General thoughts on Damon and Blunt as actors (Possibly best and worst for both)
-Thoughts and ratings of both in the movie.
