I might be being a bit too optimistic on um one of those performances (I hope its not too obvious who) lol but ill say that I thought he gave it his all despite his film having some problems.
Don Ameche in Heaven Can Wait
Joseph Cotten in Shadow of a Doubt
Henry Fonda in The Ox-Bow Incident
Charles Laughton in This Land Is Mine
Roger Livesey in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Franchot Tone in Five Graves to Cairo
Louis, what's your favorite movie of 1994? My guess for you would be Ed Wood.
Hi Louis! I've been following your blog for a while but this is my first time actually commenting. I think it's awesome.
I definitely think Joseph Cotten should win 1943, but I definitely think you should also review Henry Fonda in Ox-Bow incident and Roger Livesey in Colonel Blimp, and maybe Joel McCrea in The More the Merrier.
Mark: As favorites go your guess would be correct.
Michael M: Thank you, thanks for the comment and your recommendations.
Is that what you would give Best Picture as well?
No, I would have to give that to Shawshank Redemption which is my second favorite film of the year anyway.
I don't think Tarantino's performance in PF is that bad, if just because he's playing a deliberately irritating person. It's obvious Jules is only tolerating his company out of necessity. Certainly not a great performance, but I think it works in the scheme of the movie.
actually This Land Is Mine seems like an interesting choice.
Interesting fact, Claude Rains and Charles Laughton were bitter enemies in real life lol despite Rains once being his acting teacher.
@ Louis: Funny, we have the same situation. Ed Wood is my favorite of 1994, but I'd give Best Picture to Shawshank. The only time I'd ever do something like that too.
I just realized that Sinise, with a rating of 3, is in your Top 10, which is really sad in a year as late as 1994, so here's a few performances, of which I seen few if any, that may be able to unseat him.
somebody in Legends of the Fall (I can't really tell who the lead vs. supporting players are, thought Anthony Hopkins seems the most likely supporting candidate)
Ian Holm in The Madness of King George (BAFTA probably just nomming a revered Brit, but I thought I'd just throw it out there)
John Hannah in Four Weddings and a Funeral (I know you said you didn't find anything too special, but I really like this movie and think he's the best part, especially toward the end in the funeral scene, which I feel makes his performance at least a strong 3)
Kevin Bacon in The River Wild (he got a Globe nom)
The Paper (I don't know whether the cast members would be considered all leading or what, nor how good they are, but the movie got reasonably good reviews)
James Garner in Maverick (not sure if he's supporting or lead, but James Coburn might surprise in a definite supporting role)
somebody from Natural Born Killers (Robert Downey, Jr., Tommy Lee Jones, Rodney Dangerfield, or Tom Sizemore)
Mikhail Ulyanov in The Master and the Margarita (I have no idea of the film's quality, but the novel is stunning, and Pontius Pilate is a fascinating character in the novel; Valentin Gaft, if simultaneously charming and frightening, would also be good, but, again, I haven't seen it)
Nicholas Turturro in Federal Hill (Independent Spirit)
in Fresh (Independent Spirit)
Larry Pine or Andre Gregory in Vanya on 42nd Street (Independent Spirit)
Joe Pesci in With Honors (seems a pretty poor film, but Pesci, evidently, is pretty good)
Christopher Plummer in Wolf
The War might also be an interesting film to watch for Elijah Wood's performance, even though I know his chances of making the lead top 10 are slim to none.
Oops! I didn't see Holm.
