Christian Bale-The Machinist
Kevin Bacon-The Woodsman
Bruno Ganz-Downfall
Jim Carrey-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Paul Giamatti-Sideways
Paddy Considine-Dead Man's Shoes
Will Farrell-Anchorman (That was a request from someone I think.)
Also, what are your ratings and thoughts for Laurel & Hardy in Sons of the Desert, as well as your supporting top 10?
Halleluhah! at fucking Last.
Louis: I've decided to go a bit against the grain here, so my request is a mini review for Michael Fassbender's performance in Frank for 2014 Lead. If the request is rejected, then my second choice will be Sergi Lopez in Pan's Labyrinth for 2006 Supporting.
By the Way, I would like Fassbender's review to be separate from the final five that you go with for Alternative Lead.
My Suggestions for 2004 Lead
Main 5
Bruno Ganz in Downfall ( You must review him or their will be hell to pay.
Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine
Paul Giamatti in Sideways
Christian Bale in The Machinist
Javier Bardem in The Sea Inside
Bonus
Will Ferrell in Anchorman
Louis: ratings and thoughts on Top 5 supporting.
Louis: You've left out the last E from Alternate on your Post Title, also John Barrymore's performance in Twentieth Century isn't written in his section on the My Nominations page.
I apologize Louis I made a mistake in my earlier comment, I only meant to ask for the ratings.
Louis: Can I Have your thoughts on Donat in Henry VIII, since Michael amended his earlier comment.
My 2004 Best Actor lineup would've probably been:
Cheadle (winner)
Dicaprio
Ganz
Bale
Bacon
With Carrey and Considine following v close behind.
Great job! My suggestions:
-Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman
-Christian Bale in The Machinist
-Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Mysterious Skin
-Paul Giamatti in Sideways
Mathieu Amalric - Kings and Queen
Jim Carrey - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Ethan Hawke - Before Sunset
Yagira Yuuya - Nobody Knows
Bruno Ganz - Downfall
Kevin Bacon - The Woodsman
Gael Garcia Bernal - Bad Education
Jim Carey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Paul Giamatti in Sideways
Jeff Bridges in The Door in the Floor
Bruno Ganz in Downfall
Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman
And for fuck's sake, just do Farrell as a side review. Too many good performances to waste a slot on him. He was better in Elf anyway.
Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine
Christian Bale in The Machinist
Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman
Bruno Ganz in Downfall
Paul Giamatti in Sideways
Louis: Was Bardem Requested.
Michael:
Laurel & Hardy - 4(A fine comedic bit of work from them. I don't think it allows them to shows off their talents quite as well as Babes in Toyland or Way Out West, but they still both give very entertaining performances to be sure)
Donat - 4
Barrymore - 4
Klein-Rogge - 4
Barrymore - 3.5
Karloff - 3.5
Morgan - 3.5
Douglas - 3.5
Palette - 3.5
Travers - 3
Richardson - 3
Luke: I certainly can do your request, Lopez has already won a place through a request anyways.
Mark:
Donat - (His role is technically one that could have been easily forgotten but Donat skills as an actor does not allow that to happen. Thomas Culpeper is an interesting role in that he was the friend of the King while being the true love of one of his later wives. He could have had a film all his own, and although he does not have that here Donat plays him as such. He's screen time is incredibly brief but Donat brings so much emotional depth to every single brief reaction. He shows the crisis in Culpeper in such confines, and it shows that a great actor like Donat can makes something out of almost nothing)
Barrymore - (I considered giving the win to Barrymore here but I felt that Donat managed to make as much of an impact in his film despite having far less material. Barrymore has quite a bit of material actually as he plays a part eerily close to home of his own story about an actor whose career is derailed by alcoholism. Barrymore overplays a few moments but he mostly gives a rather effective portrayal of an unshakeable ego that slowly turns into a truly palatable despair)
Klein-Rogge - 4(This is a performance all about its visceral sting. It's technically fairly simplistic work but Klein-Rogge manages to do so much with his piercing stare. He creates Mabuse into that evil force that seems present even though he should be long forgotten)
Barrymore - (The film seems to not care a lot about his story, but in his brief moments Barrymore is rather moving in his portrayal of just a very tired businessman. Barrymore is quite good in showing the complete exasperation of his character, but with the slight energy of a man who still is going through the motions)
Karloff - (Not one of Karloff's best monster portrayals, but it's Karloff doing a monster so it's still pretty enjoyable)
Luke: Yes he was.
Damn. I'm probably one of the few who isn't crazy about Bardem in The Sea Inside. I'd prefer other performances reviewed.
Louis: Thank you very much.
KoooK160: Since Fassbender's been accepted, you might as well request Ralph Fiennes's performance in The Grand Budapest Hotel, the next time you win a year, since I'm really starting to doubt his chances by next February.
As much as I would love to see a review of Fiennes, I think we should hold off on using our requests on 2014 performances until the year is only, if only because we won't know for sure what our favorite performances from the year will be until then.
Michael: That's fine by me, although I gave my request now because of my bad luck with the prediction game, as well as hating to go a year without a Fassbender review. His performance is a strong 4 at worst to a really good 4.5 at best, with the same limitations put on him ala Rains in The Invisible Man. Lastly it's a mini review, so I'm hoping for 3-4 paragraphs. This could also lead to mini reviews for 4-5 other performances that Louis liked but didn't make his final five for the Alternative Lead, if Louis has the time to do so.
Actually, this is an Outline of what I think Louis should do for Alternate 2014 Lead Lineup Post.
Pictures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Name 1
Name 2
Name 3
Name 4
Name 5
Mini Reviews
Fassbender-Pic
Michael Fassbender in Frank
Open to other Suggestions/Requests
Louis why do you think Donat was so underrated as an actor?
And along the same lines, who do you feel are the most unfairly chastitised Oscar winners? In my opinion Adrien Brody and Donat would be my choices.
I dont really need to say anybody else they have been mentioned, its probably best Louis if you see all of them just in case, cause they all seem good.
Bruno Ganz in Downfall
Tom Cruise in Collateral
Paul Giamatti in Sideways
Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine
Christian Bale in The Machinist
Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman
I'm actually the Anonymous who predicted right but I don't know if I can do a request since I am anonymous. If I can, then my request would be James McAvoy in Atonement, hoping that on a rewatch you will like him more. Louis, can I also ask you what are your ratings and thoughts on Sophia Loren in Two Women and Loren and Mastroianni in Marriage Italian Style?
1.Bruno Ganz - Downfall
2.Jim Carrey - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
3.Paul Giamatti - Sideways
4.Liam Neeson - Kinsey
5.Tom Hanks - The Terminal
GetDonaldSutherlandAnOscar:
I think Donat has become so underrated simply because other than the 39 Steps, which is actually perhaps a bit under seen these days, he is not in the amount films deemed "classics" that many of his contemporaries are.
For the most unfairly chastised I would agree with Donat and Brody. Art Carney would be number one choice in that case.
Anonymous: Haven't seen the non-sequel to Divorce Italian Style, but....
Loren - Two Women - 5(An excellent performance that actually gave her chance to prove her merit as an actress. Loren's performance is quite a heartbreaking portrayal of the warmth but also the devastation in her portrayal of a mother in an exceedingly difficult time)
