ive seen all of them, Mifune I think will win but its not a guarantee, Mastroianni has yet to score a 5, this will be his 5 I think, Billy Liar is a terrific british comedy/kitchen sink and Tom Courtenay is great in it, McQueen was good too but more iconic than good, Bogarde I think will finish last I thought he was solid.
@Anonymous: Yeah, one could certainly make that argument. Judging by Psifonian's predictions, he may think that. Certainly the main attraction was Fellini. However, I would argue Mastroianni did an excellent job of carrying the film on his back while also creating a semi-voyeuristic look a Fellini himself, because let's face it, Guido was Fellini.
I would also recommend Stuart Burge's version of Uncle Vanya, starring Michael Redgrave as Vanya and Laurence Olivier as Astrov. It's the best English version of Chekhov's masterpiece

Wow... no one has mentioned Burt Lancaster for The Leopard? My overall winner for this year.
Of these 5 I've only seen Mastroianni and McQueen (I was not so impressed by him when I've seen The Great Escape)... so I don't know

Bogarde all the way, a perfect performance!
Dirk Bogarde - The Servant
Maurice Ronet - Le Feu Follet - by Louis Malle.
Tom Courtenay - Billy Liar
These are the 3 great male performances of 1963. I would give the award to Marcello for La Dolce Vita in 1960.
