Gene Hackman will win, its a two horse race for second between Peter Falk and Gene Wilder who were brilliant, Matthau and Bronson were solid.

Charlie Bronson!!! Love that guy, but Hackman gets my vote for his superb, subtle and nuanced performance as Harry Caul. All of the nominees here are fantastic

I know this is rather unrelated, but have you seen 50/50? What did you think of Joseph Gordon Levitt?

Hackman hands down. I never liked Charles Bronson outside of The Indian Runner, which he was great in. Charlie Bronson, British prisoner as portrayed by Tom Hardy, on the other hand...

Hackman should easily win and probably will. But I imagine Wilder will also get 5 from you.

aww its an amazing movie! really handles the subject matter with great class. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is fantastic in it and should have been nominated, IMO
