Best Scene: Marcello watches the assassination.
4. Alejandro Jodorowsky in El Topo- Jodorowsky gives an effective performance as a cool headed gunfighter then a repentant monk, but he never stands out past his own direction.
Best Scene: El Topo creates a new exit out of the cave.
3. Peter Boyle in Joe- Boyle gives a good performance as working class loud mouth by showing the man behind the bluster, but the film's shortcomings keep him from giving a great performance.
Best Scene: Joe's introduction.
2. Albert Finney in Scrooge- Finney overplays a moment here and there, but his alternate take on Ebenezer Scrooge does manage to work for the most part.
Best Scene: The redemption medley.
1. Gian Maria Volontè in Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion- The only alternate that really brought much excitement for me is Volontè's work. Volontè gives an interesting and entertaining performance that cleverly manages to make sense of his character's seemingly random behavior.
Best Scene: The inspector openly confesses to his crime.

What ratings would you give to Alec Guinness & Richard Harris for Cromwell.
Also what were your quick thoughts on Guinness
Karl Malden - Patton
Trevor Howard - Ryans Daughter
Alec Guinness - Scrooge
Leonard Frey - The Boys In The Band
Richard Boone - The Kremlin Letter
RatedRStar: what did you think of the BAFTA nominations.
Don Rickles in Kelly's Heroes
Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes
Leonard Frey in The Boys in the Band
Karl Malden in Patton
Richard Boone in The Kremlin Letter
I was fine with the Bafta nominations, I think Best Supporting Actor is between Fassbender and Bruhl (the Baftas love European actors)Chiwetel will 100 percent win Best Actor, I am not surprised by Leto and Matthews snub, We British dont really nominated independent American dramas too often, Jared Leto is more well known over here for 30 Seconds To Mars than he is acting.
Karl Malden: Patton
Alec Guinness: Scrooge
Richard Boone: The Kremlin Letter
Leonard Frey: The Boys in the Band
Trevor Howard: Ryan's Daughter
What is everybodys opinion on Jared Letos band 30 Seconds To Mars =)
RatedRStar: My Predictions
Best Film: 12 Years A Slave
Best Director: Alfonso Cauron
Best Actor: Chiwetel Ejiofor
Best Supporting Actor: Michael Fassbender
Best Actress: Cate Blanchett
Best Supporting Actress: Lupita N'Yongo
Best British Film: Gravity
Could I just say I'm glad The Butler has lost so much momentum since its release. It was typical African American Sugercoated Schlock.
RatedRStar: I like 30 seconds to Mars well enough although I prefer Muse.
I cant wait for you to get to 1946 Louis =D im extremely looking forward to it.
RatedRStar: will you go on the biggest rant of your life if Claude Rains comes second.
.....Indeed....
As for The Butler, and Forest Whitaker I have one thing to say on their snub from the Baftas and thats this..HAHAHAHAHHA.
For 1970 Supporting:
Richard Boone in The Kremlin Letter
Leonard Frey in The Boys in the Band
Alec Guinness in Scrooge
Trevor Howard in Ryan's Daughter
Karl Malden in Patton
Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes
Some others (I have not seen most of them):
Bernard Cribbins in The Railway Children
Richard Harris in The Molly Maguires
Gabriele Ferzetti in The Confession
Derek Jacobi in Three Sisters
Frank Langella in The Twelve Chairs
Christopher Lee in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
Paul Mazursky in Alex in Wonderland
Ralph Meeker in I Walk the Line
Michael Murphy (probably lead), Stacy Keach, René Auberjonois, and G. Wood in Brewster McCloud
Anthony Perkins in Catch-22
Anthony Perkins in WUSA
Innokenty Smoktunovsky in Crime and Punishment
François Truffaut in The Wild Child (very possibly a lead)
I also thought you might want to check out these lead performances considering that you usually like some of the actors:
Tom Courtenay in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
Marcello Mastroianni in The Pizza Triangle
Yves Montand in The Confession
Fernando Rey in Tristana
Robert Stephens in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
Louis, for 1973 Lead & Supporting, I would recommend seeing The Wicker Man for Edward Woodard & Christopher Lee's performances
I really love the topic of the Oscars and the awards season and I'm suffering to not participate, but I don't want to say my opinions out loud, so that it won't be boring, when I review and rank these performance on my blog.
All I can say now, is that at the day the nominees are announced, I will start doing best supporting actor of 2013. Check it out then, if you want to... :)
Luke: I would give Harris a 3.5 for Cromwell. Guinness I would give a 4.5 as I felt he became the heart of the film despite playing the insensitive monarch. He very nicely brought to life the complexities of such a character.
Yes! another 4.5 or more for Guinness.
Louis, I asked this question before but just for ratings but aside from that, what were your thoughts for both Fassbender's performances in X Men: First Class and Prometheus
Some suggestions:
Frank Langella in Twelve Chairs
Trevor Howard in Ryan's Daughter
Karl Malden in Patton
George Kennedy in Airport
Romolo Valli in The Garden of the Finzi-Continis
Luke: In First Class I thought sunk his teeth into the role with great ferocity that put McKellen's Magneto to shame. I wish there had been more of David as I thought he gave a very interesting portrayal of a conniving curiosity.
I'd have suggested Timothy Dalton in 'Wuthering Heights'.
