Best Scene: Russell takes William to a party.
4. Joe Pantoliano in Memento- Pantoliano unfortunately overacts a bit, but he makes up for much of it by giving a complex portrayal of a man who knows much more than what he says he knows.
Best Scene: Teddy tells Leonard the truth.
3. Oliver Reed in Gladiator- Reed gives a compelling performance as a former gladiator champion although his performance is weakened by the fact that it remains an unfinished work.
Best Scene: Proximo tells Maximus how he achieved his freedom.
2. Takeshi Kitano in Battle Royale- Takeshi Kitano gives an effective turn by being the evil teacher he should be, but as well by showing why this man has come to be this way.
Best Scene: Kitano reveals his dream.
1. Jason Isaacs in The Patriot- This part asks one thing of Isaacs which is to be evil, and boy is he. Isaacs gives a striking performance by being unrelenting in his portrayal of the sadism of his character, while never once using the nature of his character as an excuse to overact.
Best Scene: Gabriel's attack on the dragoons.

Hm, 1981 Lead possibilities...
Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Arc
Mel Gibson in Gallipoli
James Caan in Thief
Jürgen Prochnow in Das Boot
John Travolta in Blow Out
William Hurt in Body Heat
Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory in My Dinner with Andre (do these count as performances?)
what did you make of Masnodbu Ando and Taro Yamamoto in Battle Royale?
Actually kind of surprised this wasn't Reed's win given your reviews. As for 1981, will you be doing another 5 even though you've already done Hoskins?
For 1981:
Mel Gibson in Gallipoli
Mark Lee in Gallipoli
Jürgen Prochnow in Das Boot
Ben Cross in Chariots of Fire
Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Fire
Im gonna be rooting for Dudley Moore to keep his win, I thought he was amazing.
Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark
Mel Gibson in Gallipoli
Ben Cross in Chariots of Fire
Ian Charleson in Chariots of Fire
James Caan in Thief
Mel Gibson - Galipoli
Mark Lee - Galipoli
Harrison Ford - Raiders Of The Lost Ark
William Hurt - Body Heat
Albert Brooks - Modern Romance
I think Ford was actually better than I remember
Mel Gibson in Galipoli
William Hurt in Body Heat
Ben Cross in Chariots Of Fire
Ian Charleson in Chariots Of Fire
Albert Brooks in Modern Romance
Anonymous: Masnodbu Ando's performance was fine, but I think what made him a great villain was the direction. The music that played whenever he was around was awesome.
Taro Yamamoto was quite good in being one of the few comforting factors in film.
Michael Patison: He probably would be if his performance was complete.
I'll do another five since this year has so many contenders.
I forgot:
William Hurt in Body Heat
Albert Brooks in Modern Romance
Hi!
Please consider Harrison Ford and Klaus Maria Brandauer!
1. Harrison Ford - Raiders Of The Lost Ark
2. Mel Gibson - Gallipoli
3. Steve Martin - Pennies from Heaven
4. William Hurt - Body Heat
5. Treat Williams - Prince of the City
