Bridges for the win!
And I like the little touch with the ratings next to each actor
Good idea Louis. :)
Louis: Ratings and thoughts on the rest of your 4.5, 4 and 3.5s.
And thoughts on The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and rating & thoughts on Driver.
Louis: your thoughts on The House That Jack Built and the ratings and thoughts on the cast?
Louis: I do not know if you've done it yet, but what are the most overrated directors for you?
Really pleased to see a win for Bridges, honestly, and I can't really argue against the rest of the top 10, either.
Also, I just thought I'd mention that my review of Lady Gaga is now posted:
https://leadactorawards.blogspot.com/
Sorry for the delay. Call it...um...technical difficulties.
Louis: Lastly, your Female rankings with ratings. 5s to your lowest 4.
And ratings and thoughts on any other Lead Actor performances you would give a 4 or 4.5 to.
Louis: Do you prefer Bridges in El Royale or Hell or High Water?

Anonymous: He gave that list once before. I think you can find it if you look for it. I remember Soderbergh, Ron Howard, and Jonathan Demme being on it.
Louis
What are the Overall Rating for Best Lead Actress and Best Supporting Actress in 2018?
PS = I hope you do not forget two great performances from last year: actress Karine Teles in Loving and actor Matt Dillon in The House That Jack Built.
I originally read that score as a minus one lol on the overall xD, wouldnt have been surprised.
Not much point in suggesting anyone, never is whenever its the current movie year since I think the lineup speaks for itself.
Anonymous: Found it!
http://actoroscar.blogspot.com/2015/07/alternate-best-supporting-actor-1989_11.html?m=1
Louis: Could I also get ratings and thoughts on the non-saves.
For Lead.
Louis: I so wanna see Buster Scruggs having finally seen that trailer for it, only disappointment is that you said Tyne Daly gives the weakest performance in a strong field of performances, gah I have fond memories of watching Cagney and Lacey when I was younger lol so good.
Thoughts on Lundgren, Munteanu and Hammer.
Gosling
Hawke
Cage (please)
Reilly w/ Phoenix & Coogan
Foster (both, though I'd understand if you just go with Leave No Trace)
Yoo-Ah In
Redford
Stanfield
Hedges
Wolff (hopefully, since it seems you consider him Lead)
Also, love that Top 5.
Amazing top 5 and glad to see Bridges with a win.
Louis: If anything changed, your updated top 10 supporting performances of the decade.

Luke:
The film itself is a sad disappointment. I actually liked it for the first hour or so, but its plot ends up becoming a strict repetition. It is far to akin to really The Baron of Munchhausen but not nearly as fun. It tries instead to become something about artistic representation to which it completely loses itself again and again. It's a shame as none of it really ends up coming together other than the secondary titular character. That performance carries the film, but it's to its detriment that he's really a supporting character.
Pryce - (Pryce is an utter delight here and does evoke John Neville as the Baron in sort of embracing the larger than life style of his character so beautifully. Pryce's work has this marvelous grandiose energy that just is winning every moment he is on screen. He is hilarious but also really brings such a conviction in the heroic demeanor of the character. He creates such a striking character through it and it is a shame he's supporting as he's the one thing that kept me going through the film's rougher patches. Pryce's work though is consistently powerful portrayal of a most sincere delusion of grandeur. This is as he makes every grand pose, every heroic declaration exactly as they should be though refined with a certain daffiness fitting to a mad man.)
Driver - 3.5(Driver gives a fine straight man performance, and in a way you can kind of see him going for 90's era Depp, who originally played the part. In he brings a similar comic near detachment to the part, that actually is pretty effective for the most part. The problem is the film doesn't really know what to do with his character beyond just having him go through the same repetitive scenario again and again. Driver is good with what he has but it unfortunately does not do enough with him.)
Forster - (Forster gives a moving portrayal of the gruff father as to be expected honestly, and thankfully has far less of a caricature to work with than was the case with the Descendants. Forster's very good though in finding the blunt attitude of his character though finding enough nuance in his confrontational scenes to always be able to show where there is a sense of love for his kids, even if it is very specifically shown. His best moments though are in his reactions to his wife where Forster is heartbreaking by actually being so unassuming in reflecting the very quite dismay in his wife's dementia. He shows though it well as trying to put on the bright optimism even as he struggles to maintain the show.)
Lundgren & Munteanu - (These two together are a special ingredient in making Creed a terrific sequel, as it is one element that is superior to the standard brawler that was the opponent in the first film. It is pretty amazing as Lundgren really delivers a convincing portrayal of bitterness along with Munteanu who manages to show the rage of the character fueled by that influence. His best scene though is with the special cameo and it is amazing as he manages to be rather heartbreaking in the moment. Lundgren is that himself in the final fight as he makes the towel scene such a powerful one as he manages to produce such a genuine reaction in the moment.)
Russell - (Wow, like John David Washington, Russell's got his old man's charisma. He also can funnel it into his swagger and never feel like a copy of his old man, he rather just feels like his old man. It is pretty marvelous actually as he delivers that sort of sardonic Kurt Russell turn from a Carpenter film himself, and just feels that it is exactly as it should be. If they are remaking Escape from NY (don't) Russell certainly is a fit for Snake.)
Hammer - (Hammer does a great sleazeball slick routine. I like in his early scenes though as he presents such a good PR face in his sort of impassioned delivery of what he's trying to accomplish with his work, hollow as it is. He's then great by throwing out any pomp or circumstance in the whole thing by really laying on the sleaze at every point, particularly the way his delivery accentuates the horse member featured in his proposition.)
Shannon - (Always nice to see him not as a maniac for once. Shannon gives a fine turn here in portraying the pent up frustrations of the son who is just struggling to do the right thing with an earned exasperation. He does well in showing how others could see his character as a villain, but manages to show at every turn the honest devotion within those frustrations.)
Rhodes - (I have to admit I found whole film pretty disposable but he certainly gives a nice charismatic turn.)
Omar:
Ganz gives a striking a lurid performance, I'm going to get into far more of that possibly to the dismay of all, but one must do what one must do.
Matt:
Not Sure.
Brazinterma:
I'm going to try to watch Destroyer and few others first.
RatedRStar:
Oh she's more than fine, just process of elimination in a way, as no one gives a bad performance in that film.
Charles:
1. Christopher Walken in Seven Psychopaths
2. Ben Foster in Hell or High Water
3. Tom Hardy in The Revenant
4. Mark Strong in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
5. Nicholas Hoult in Mad Max: Fury Road
6. Jeff Bridges in Bad Times At the El Royale
7. Sylvester Stallone in Creed
8. Sam Neill in Hunt for the Wilderpeople
9. Sam Rockwell in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
10. Steven Yeun in Burning
