Best Scene: Treves first sees the Elephant Man.
4. Jack Thompson in Breaker Morant- Thompson has a simple but showy role bringing the emotional punch to his courtroom scenes.
Best Scene: Major J.F. Thomas's summation.
3. Donald Sutherland in Ordinary People- Sutherland gives an understated and moving turn showing the attempt of a man to hold his life as well as his family together after a terrible tragedy.
Best Scene: Calvin confronts Beth.
2. Edward Woodward in Breaker Morant- Woodward gives an excellent performance showing a courageous gentlemanly soldier, whose capable of horrible deeds.
Best Scene: Morant tells the court of rule 303.
1.Tatsuya Nakadai in Kagemusha- Nakadai gives an amazing performance playing two characters brilliantly one a cunning war lord, and the other an impersonator who has a difficult journey of pretending to be the other man. I am going to face all the wraith of meddling with the grand scheme of things and go my own way this year altogether. I have a confession to make which is watching Ordinary People again really made me lose a lot of my enthusiasm for Timothy Hutton's performance. I still think he is great, but actually watching it this time Donald Sutherland left the bigger impression on me. As for Robert De Niro I do believe his performance is tremendous but its never been a performance that I love. Therefore my very personal win goes to Tatsuya Nakadai.
Best Scene: The Lord and Kagemusha meet for the first time.

James Earl Jones in The Empire Strikes Back
Harrison Ford in The Empire Strikes Back
Somebody from Caddyshack
Hector Elizondo in American Gigolo
Scott Wilson in The Ninth Configuration
Max von Sydow in Flash Gordon
Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon
Harrison Ford in The Empire Strikes Back
Terrence Stamp in Superman II
Leslie Nielsen in Airplane!
Bill Murray, Chevy Chase or Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack
Frank Oz in The Empire Strikes Back
And Tsutomu Yamazaki in Kagemusha if that's what floats your boat.

Bill Murray - Caddyshack
Gene Hackman and Terrence Stamp in Superman 2.

Michael Caine - Dressed to Kill
Charles Grodin - Seems Like Old Times
So... where did Bob Hoskins go? Have you moved him to 1981 for some reason? (I see that you put 1981 in the header, but I still wonder why you reviewed him here without putting him in the overall ranking.)
1.Leslie Nielsen - Airplane!
2.Scatman Crothers - The Shining
3.Harrison Ford - The Empire Strikes Back
4.Bill Murray - Caddyshack
Grady Tripp: I reviewed him because I thought his film had an 1980 non festival release, but apparently it did not. I did not include him in the overall ranking because he will be included in 1981 ranking later.
levon helm coal miner's daughter please a small lovely performance of a doting dad.
1. Freddie Jones, The Elephant Man
2. Mark Hamill, The Big Red One
3. Leslie Nielsen, Airplane!
