4. Tommy Lee Jones in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada- Jones perfectly cast himself portraying the complex motivations of his character brilliantly.
3. Guy Pearce in The Proposition- Pearce gives a strong understated performance that is particularly effective in portraying the complex relationship that motivates his character.
2. Viggo Mortensen in A History of Violence- Mortensen is terrific in his depiction of the slow dissolution of his character.
1. Ray Winstone in The Proposition- The underrated Ray Winstone wins this year with his powerful performance as a man trying to bring the law to the lawless. Winstone succeeds far more than anyone would expect creating a poignant depiction of a character that could perhaps have been a throwaway in lesser hands.

Suggestions for 2005 Supporting:
Clifton Collins Jr. in Capote
Danny Huston in The Proposition
Mickey Rourke in Sin City
Kevin Costner in The Upside of Anger
Val Kilmer in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
As for acclaimed roles I haven't seen:
Edward Norton in Kingdom of Heaven
Keanu Reeves in Thumbsucker (no, really)
Jesse L. Martin in Rent (apparently he's the only good thing)
I never in a million years would've guessed someone would beat Hoffman, let alone TWO.

I see you added Gleeson for Six Shooter here, but can you really do that since it's a short? (I mean, it's your blog so you can do whatever you want with it, but I was just wondering)
