im very happy that Tatsuya Nakadai was chosen =D, I think his best performance was in Yojimbo as the creepy gun wielding samurai =D but he was another of Kurosawas legendary actor partnerships, Robert Shaw will win I think.
Nakadai has the bigger role, but Yamazaki is the villain and has an AWESOME scene at the end, so my guess is that it's Yamazaki. I'll hold off on my predictions until it's clarified, though.
I don't know how I made that mistake between Yamakazi/Nakadai when I was writing out the nominees as I wrote down Yamazaki in the labels. I meant Yamakazi though.
1) Robert Shaw 2) Peter Sellers 3) Tsutomu Yamazaki 4) Brandon deWilde 5) Donald Pleasence (The only one I've seen, but wasn't that special. But very decent.)
As for Nakadai he is very good as the head inspector trying to help King Gondo. He as well as Kenjiro Ishiyama and Isao Kimura are all very good in bringing something to their fairly straight forward roles as the police who are just trying to solve the case.
Takashi Shimura is there as well but his role is almost a cameo.

What does everybody else think was Tatsuyas best performance?.
That's Tsutomu Yamazaki in High and Low, not Nakadi.
ive never seen High and Low but, im confused now lol who has been chosen.
Nakadai has the bigger role, but Yamazaki is the villain and has an AWESOME scene at the end, so my guess is that it's Yamazaki. I'll hold off on my predictions until it's clarified, though.
ill probably still put whoever is in second behind Shaw who I think is locked almost to win because well, its Robert Shaw lol.
1. Pleasance (my win)
2. Sellers
3. Nakadai
4. Shaw
5. De Wilde
Brandon De Wilde is wonderful in that role, and far more deserving that his Oscar winning co-star!
1. Nakadai
2. Shaw
3. deWilde
4. Pleasence
5. Sellers
My guess:
1. Yamakazi/Nakadai
2. Pleasence
3. Sellers
4. deWilde
5. Shaw

I might need to watch High and Low since Louis and Koook160 think its amazing, it kind of looks like a Hitchcock thriller in the trailer.
Since Tatsuya Nakadai is technically my favourite Japanese actor I have to ask both Louis and Koook160 actually lol was he any good in the film.
1. Robert Shaw
2. Brandon de Wilde
3. Tsutomu Yamazaki
4. Donald Pleasence
5. Peter Sellers
RatedRStar: Well I highly recommend the film.
As for Nakadai he is very good as the head inspector trying to help King Gondo. He as well as Kenjiro Ishiyama and Isao Kimura are all very good in bringing something to their fairly straight forward roles as the police who are just trying to solve the case.
Takashi Shimura is there as well but his role is almost a cameo.
Nakadai was pretty good, though his role is fairly simple. The MVP's are Mifune and Yamazaki.
My ranking remains unchanged, just put Yamazaki in for Nakadai.
My top three for the year are Douglas, De Wilde, and Shaw in that order.
