Eddie Bracken-Hail the Conquering Hero (I do think Miracle at Morgan's Creek is better, but I personally enjoyed him more in this)
Interesting move on the supporting with only giving five, but not a decision I'm against at all. It makes complete sense.
As for 1944 Lead:
Dana Andrews in Laura
Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not
Eddie Bracken in The Miracle of Morgan's Creek
Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace
Fred MacMurray in Double Indemnity
Some others, though, to be honest, I have seen not one of them:
Spencer Tracy in Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (I know you'll never do this one)
Robert Young in The Canterville Ghost (I can't really tell whether he, Laughton, or both are the leads)
Dennis Price in A Canterbury Tale
Eddie Bracken in Hail the Conquering Hero
Nikolai Cherkasov in Ivan the Terrible
Ronald Colman in Kismet
George Sanders in The Lodger
Ray Milland in Ministry of Fear
Dick Powell in Murder, My Sweet
Humphrey Bogart in Passage to Marseille
Spencer Tracy in The Seventh Cross
Charles Laughton in The Suspect
Dana Andrews in Wing and a Prayer
Don Ameche in Wing and a Prayer
Edward G. Robinson in The Woman in the Window
My request is Joaquin Phoenix in We Own the Night for 2007 Lead Actor.
=) ah Joaquin Phoenix, my old enemy, we meet again very soon lol.
You will when Louis inevitably reviews him for Her, whether he be nominated or not.
Too right you are, Robert. I've heard absolutely amazing things about that movie.
ye im dreading the thought of seeing Joaquin get another Oscar nomination lol, but I suppose you might be entertained by my angry reaction if it happens lol.
I wouldn't automatically throw in the towel on his performance until you've seen it.
Some to maybe look (I guess) to hopefully flesh out a more complete Supporting list this year:
City Lights (Guy Kibbee and Paul Lukas)
Five Star Final (Boris Karloff and H.B. Warner, though it also adds a leading Edward G. Robinson turn)
Smart Money (James Cagney, plus another Edward G. Robinson role)
Now if you wanted recommendations that were concrete because we've seen the film, then I'm sorry because I got nothing.
well its going back to the opinion of the performance and the person playing it, disliking a person in general kind of, hinders my position on a performance which is probably why I wouldn't be a critic, or a good one.
For this year's supporting, I forgot about Private Lives (Reginald Denny).
Has anyone seen Prisoners? I thought Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal were both excellent.
I saw it. I loved Gyllenhaal, thought Jackman overacted. Terrence Howard surprised me.
I saw it, Gyllenhaal was great.
What did you think of Jackman?
Thought he was better then Sean Penn in Mystic River, having said that though I thought Gyllenhaal completely overshadowed him.
I actually thought he was worse than Sean Penn in Mystic River. Those fucking fake tears from both eyelashes. UGH. But yeah, Gyllenhaal OWNED that movie. I'm still debating whether I consider him, Bradley Cooper in The Place Beyond the Pines, or Ethan Hawke my favorite Lead Actors so far. Horrifyingly, I think Gyllenhaal and Cooper are being run as Supporting.
I disagree about Jackman. I thought he was fantastic. Not quite on the level of his work in Les Mis, but almost. In my opinion.
koook: I think Gyllenhaal's being put in supporting, which is odd, because he actually has MORE screentime than Jackman.
Speaking of Prisoners, what did you think of the supporting cast? Men and women.
I thought Paul Dano and Melissa Leo were both very good, Terrence Howard and Viola Davis were both solid, and Maria Bello was terrible.
Maria Bello WAS terrible.
You could consider Dwight Frye for "Frankenstein" in supporting?
I thought they were all pretty damn good, barring Bello who probably had the worst written character. Howard impressed me the most of the Supporting cast. His horrified reactions spoke leagues more about his character than any of Jackman's histrionics. By the way, the only time I've been impressed with Jackman would be The Prestige.
Though it's really unrelated to Best Actor, what has everybody thought about Gravity? I was blown away you can read my review here http://www.michaelpsmoviereviews.blogspot.com/2013/10/gravity-when-devastating-beauty-meets.html?m=1), but shameless self plugging aside, I thought it was technically perfect pretty much.
koook: He was very good in The Prestige, but I thought Christian Bale was better.
I disagree. I though Jackman was the standout there. I found that Bale didn't do enough to differentiate how he portrayed his character from how he portrays some of his other roles. I must say I was impressed by Jackman in Les Miserables, but I know Robert will disagree wholeheartedly with me there. The Prestige still stands for me as his best performance for me though. My qualms about Bale in it are not damning, however. I'd still give him a 4. Jackman would get either a strong 4.5 or a weak 5 from me.
Request? Alejandro Jodorowsky in "El Topo."
I'm still on this attempt to find you other possible performances for 1931 Supporting because I hate only seeing 5 and not ten, so here's a few more. I've mostly just been looking for notable actors not necessarily with any idea of how good they actually are:
The Criminal Code (Boris Karloff, with Walter Huston in the lead)
Mata Hari (Lionel Barrymore and Lewis Stone)
The Millionaire (James Cagney)
The Secret Six (Ralph Bellamy and Clark Gable)
I'm glad to see that at least one of my shots-in-the-dark was helpful.
Karloff was quite a boss in that film.
