Best Scene: Mr. Peters searches Cornelius's room.
4. William Demarest in The Miracle of Morgan's Creek- Demarest gives a hilarious portrayal as the reactive face of exasperation at the absurd events during the film.
Best Scene: The constable tries to get Norval to escape from the jail.
3. Peter Lorre in Arsenic and Old Lace- Lorre gives a very funny comedic turn that steals his film in almost a weasel like fashion.
Best Scene: Dr. Einstein tries to warn Mortimer.
2. William Bendix in Lifeboat-William Bendix gives a heartbreaking portrayal of the degradation of his character in both body and soul.
Best Scene: Gus prepares for his amputation.
1. Edward G. Robinson in Double Indemnity- Good prediction Psifonian, Mark and koook160. Well this year was no contest for me and I love William Bendix's and Barry Fitzgerald's performances as well really like plenty of other performances this year too. There is just no question for me that Edward G. Robinson gives the best supporting performance of 1944. He is on every second he is on screen giving an extremely entertaining and even rather moving portrayal of a claims adjuster who can see everything except what is directly in front of him.
Best Scene: All of his scenes.

Hey, I made a correct prediction as well.
Sorry about that, the post has been corrected.

Jack Albertson - Willy Wonka
Fernando Rey - French Connection
Murray Head - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Andy Robinson - Dirty Harry
Donald Pleasance - Wake In Fright
Also worth mention: David Gulpilil in Walkabout, Art Garfunkel in Carnal Knowledge, and Moses Gunn in Shaft. Honestly, though, this was kind of a weak year for this category.
Alright, my request is for a performance I haven't even seen yet. I request Ken Ogata in The Ballad of Narayama for 1983 Best Actor. I have a friend who swears by this performance.
John Hurt-10 Rillington Place
Andrew Robinson-Dirty Harry
Fernando Rey-The French Connection
Jack Albertson-Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Idk who else...
Ohhhh maybe someone from McCabe & Mrs. Miller! Even if you don't wanna review anyone from that you should still give it a look, it's fantastic.
1. John Hurt, 10 Rillington Place (already claimed it!)
2. Bruce Dern, Drive, He Said
3. David Culpilil, Walkabout
