Uh...how do you put Joel McCrea at #5 overall, but not include him in your Alternate Best Actor selections? o.O
well nobody voted for McCrea lol so that might be why, kinda like with Ewan McGregor in 2010 for The Ghost Writer.
I see you got McCrea in the top 5, that's great. I know he was nothing amazing but I still really like his acting style in this, it's so natural.
Anonymous: Mainly because I was sold on doing Rains by the 1943 Oscar montage video on YouTube, and Fonda seemed much more favored in terms of requests. Also I did not know that I would prefer McCrea over those two until I watched Rains's performance and Fonda's again.
That happens all the time. The top five for Supporting 2010 has THREE performances he didn't review (Kinglsey, Murphy, Postlethwaite), and the WINNER of Lead '93 (Jeff Daniels in Gettysburg) wasn't reviewed either.
I'm luckily in a position with WiFi so I can post. I posted my recommendations i think on Livesey's review, so I won't post them again, but they all still stand, especially Erich von Stroheim in Five Graves to Cairo and Dana Andrews in The Ox-Bow Incident.
I have a very strong feeling this will be another year where you do a series of shorter reviews, plus a longer one for Andrews and perhaps for von Stroheim, all at once. There just aren't too many standouts this year.
Andrews is my win, and honestly I feel '43 is so thin on the ground that I don't have anyone I could suggest for a nod.
What's the next year you're doing? Could I pass my free suggestion to that?
I was planning on doing 2002 lead.
