oh wow thanks for reviewing Chow Yun Fat, Louis =D im gonna go for Chow Yun Fat, , the amount of energy and character he puts into the main villain is amazing.
Everyone else has to see Let The Bullets Fly (the film is extremely entertaining)
I only nominate Garfield here. I'm shocked that Fassbender didn't make this lineup. Brosnan was very good as well. Mendelsohn is good, but not my favorite. I haven't seen Yun-Fat or Rockwell.
I thought it was a pretty effective thriller even if I find evil corporation plots tiresome. Ralph Fiennes was very good, although I thought Weisz overplayed her role a little bit. The supporting cast was solid with the standout being Donald Sumpter.
Constant Gardener is my favorite film of 2005. Call it a testament to my overall distaste for that year as a whole. I'd have The Proposition as my choice in a heartbeat, but I go by Academy rules, so it's 2006.
Also just out of curiosity Louis, I was looking at your complete ranking of all the nominated and winning performances (because I think it's cool that you put so much effort into that and I like seeing where everyone ranks) and I noticed Edward Norton in American History X dropped almost 50 spots. Why is that?
Just for future reference, I'd like to suggest Sharlto Copley for Best Actor 2009 for his tremendous performance in District 9. Predictions: 1. Rockwell 2. Garfield 3. Brosnan 4. Mendelsohn 5. Chow Yun-Fat
2009 Lead Actor is going to be freaking packed. Just look:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt in (500)Days of Summer Sharlto Copley in District 9 Michael Stuhlbarg in A Serious Man Joaquin Phoenix in Two Lovers Sam Rockwell in Moon Viggo Mortensen in The Road Tom Hardy in Bronson Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds Matt Damon in The Informant! Ben Foster in The Messenger

this is off topic but what did you make to the film The Constant Gardener and its performances?
I thought it was a pretty effective thriller even if I find evil corporation plots tiresome. Ralph Fiennes was very good, although I thought Weisz overplayed her role a little bit. The supporting cast was solid with the standout being Donald Sumpter.
Constant Gardener is my favorite film of 2005. Call it a testament to my overall distaste for that year as a whole. I'd have The Proposition as my choice in a heartbeat, but I go by Academy rules, so it's 2006.
I really liked the Constant Gardener too, I hate 2005 for films but I liked this, Ralph Fiennes is really warm and loving in his shy guy role.
1. Garfield
2. Rockwell
3. Yun-Fat
4. Brosnan
5. Mendelsohn
Not sure why everyone's putting Mendelsohn so low - he was genuinely chilling.
1. Mendelsohn
2. Garfield
3. Brosnan
4. Rockwell
5. Yun-Fat

I still think its a great performance I just feel I put it a little too high originally.
Oh ok. I still can't believe you ranked 400+ performances. That's nuts.
Just for future reference, I'd like to suggest Sharlto Copley for Best Actor 2009 for his tremendous performance in District 9.
Predictions:
1. Rockwell
2. Garfield
3. Brosnan
4. Mendelsohn
5. Chow Yun-Fat
2009 Lead Actor is going to be freaking packed. Just look:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt in (500)Days of Summer
Sharlto Copley in District 9
Michael Stuhlbarg in A Serious Man
Joaquin Phoenix in Two Lovers
Sam Rockwell in Moon
Viggo Mortensen in The Road
Tom Hardy in Bronson
Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds
Matt Damon in The Informant!
Ben Foster in The Messenger
koook: I put Brad Pitt in Supporting for Basterds. It doesn't really have a lead. But if it did, it wouldn't be him.
I... don't really object to that.
