HELL yeah Heflin, I'm glad he's so high. Also, isn't it interesting that there are now two years where the same pair (Bogart & Huston) has won Lead and Supporting actor together?
Michael Rooker- Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
James Caan-Misery
Tim Robbins-Jacob's Ladder
Johnny Depp-Edward Scissorhands

I super don't think Gibson needs a review for Hamlet, the only one in that cast that really impressed me was Ian Holm.
For supporting, can you please review Gary Oldman for State of Grace?
Louis is The Little Foxes in your Top 10 for 1941? Because I really liked it. Also, would you say that your favorite Bette Davis performance is All About Eve, The Little Foxes or Now Voyager?

Louis now that you have seen a few more films what would be ur top ten of 1941?
christian slater -pump up the volume
steve martin - my blue heaven
patrick swayze -ghost
alan rickman -truly madly deeply
jim broadbent - life is sweet
Actually Slater in Pump Up the Volume is a good shout, as is Rickman for truly madley deeply. Neither of them are amazing performances IMO, but charming and enjoyable enough, maybe worth looking at for the overall ranking.
Actually I know a few fans of Slater in Pump Up the Volume, and they usually hate him.
1941:
1.The Maltese Falcon
2.Citizen Kane
3.The Devil And Daniel Webster
4.The Strawberry Blonde
5.Sullivan’s Travels
6.Dumbo
7.The Little Foxes
8.The Sea Wolf
9."Pimpernel" Smith
10.Love Crazy
Anonymous: Oldman's very likely.

GetDonaldSutherlandAnOscar:
Fitzgerald - 4(Fitzgerald is a hoot in his purposefully grotesque portrayal of essentially Edward G. Robinson's character's toady. Fitzgerald goes intense but never quite absurd building the atmosphere of the ship quite well)
The 49th Parallel - (It's message is particularly obvious, although that usually fairly easy to accept when it's anti-Hitler propaganda, and it is not way soft handed in its approach. Nevertheless it tells its story really well though and manages to be a rather compelling film even though it boils down to just how awesome the people that make up the allies are)
Portman - 2.5(He does his cold evil note well enough, and at least stands out unlike some of the Nazis though, but his performance is particularly one note)
Howard - 3.5(Howard I find is best when he plays technically somewhat smug particularly assured character. He's good here and it's interesting how charming he can be when he relaxes in a role as he does here. Howard commands his section completely and does rather well in conveying his character as he measures his own cowardice)
Walbrook - 3.5(Walbrook's performance is made up of just basically moral speeches, and he delivers all of them really well. He brings the weight they need while never seeming like he is forcing the message of the film)
MacGinnis - 3.5(He stands out the best among the Nazis and is really quite moving in portraying the subtle realization of his character that maybe the Nazi way is not the right way when confronted with the Germans in Canada)
Massey - 3(Massey's role is particularly short as the stars go but he's quite enjoyable in portraying his character's hatred of the Nazi he has to share space with)
Currie - 3(Currie brings the right sort of dignity with his part and like most of the performers he manages to realizes his character with some depth particularly quickly)
Olivier - 3(His accent is a bit Paul Muniesque to be sure, but he facial reactions are much more downplayed. He manages to be quite moving after his character is injured)
Gwenn - 3(An entertaining bit of pompousness from him)
Demarest - 4(The funniest part of the film. Demarest obviously just is absolutely comfortable with Sturges style and thrives with it. Every moment he's onscreen is enjoyable and finds the screwball spark better than any other actor in the film)
Sullivan's - 3(Funny again he just does not get much to do here)
Stewart - 1.5(He's just kinda forgettable for most of the film, but his "acted" scene is so hammy it makes the trick pulled on Lana Turner a bit hard to believe)
Howard - 4(It's funny that Howard played The Scarlett Pimpernel in the original setting and in a modernized version. Howard again plays a character very assured of himself and again he's very endearing when he does this. Howard's a very entertaining hero here, bringing enough dramatic weight when he needs to, but all in all making it one fun thriller to watch)
