Best Scene: Final talk with Marion.
4. Steven Yeun in Minari - You know this is an amazing lineup when this performance is 4th.Yeun delivers a great understated turn. This in finding the emotional complications but also simple joys of a man trying to achieve the American dream.
Best Scene: Final argument.
3. Riz Ahmed in Sound of Metal - Ahmed gives a great performance here. This finding so much history and honesty in depicting an entirely convincing journey of a man quickly losing his hearing but slowly discovering himself.
Best Scene: Final talk with Joe.
2. Chadwick Boseman in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom - Boseman will be a deserving winner, in this amazing swan song of a performance. Boseman steals the film entirely, in his charismatic, but also deeply emotional and tragic portrait of a man burdened by hate, ambition and sadness.
Best Scene: Story of his father.
1. Anthony Hopkins in The Father - Good Predictions Anonymous, Michael McCarthy, Razor, Emi Grant, Tahmeed, Luke, Glenn, Omar, David Jones, Shaggy, and Michael Patison. As much as I adore this lineup, this was an easy choice. This as Hopkins delivers his greatest performance that contains all that makes him great and more, in his complex, captivating and altogether devestating portrait of a man slowly losing his mind.
Best Scene: "Mommy"

I still think it's weird they only had 19 acting noms this year.
Great, great lineup this year. Obviously glad to see another 25/25.

Louis: How do you rank all the Oscar-nominated films for this year (of course excluding the ones you haven't seen and your out-of-competition films)?
Louis, I watched Dungeons & Dragons a week ago after Luke made mention of it. Boy is it hot garbage yet Irons is gloriously hammy, to the point that I would honestly say it's the most entertaining performance he ever gave. So with that I'm requesting a non-lineup review for 2000 Supporting.
Glenn: I mean, I'd say Watchmen is his most entertaining performance.
Matt, most entertaining performance on film then. I need to see Watchmen.
For the alternate lineup, I guess I’d go with
Delroy Lindo
Mads Mikkelsen
Kingsley Ben-Adir
Jesse Plemons
George MacKay
Sweet, 2 wins in a row.
I request Samuel L. Jackson in Black Snake Moan. Probably his best 2000s work and he & Ricci are wonderful together.
i going to ask what Tahmeed recommended under Hopkins' Review.
Could we have an updated list of your Top 30 Nominated Lead Actor Performances?
I've made mention of my request options before but I'm going to hold onto it for now. I'd rather win another one first because my prediction record has been appalling lately.
Glenn: Thank you for making that request, I haven't actually seen it but I've seen Irons compared to Julia in Street Fighter which is why I mentioned it.

Luke, you're welcome. =)
Luke:
Eh, until Disney makes another live action that seems like they really care beyond the dollar signs, I'm not going to expel any further energy on them, including giving detailed thoughts. For me the film was just a lame Wuxia wannabe, Tzi Ma and Gong Li do some fine, if not quite substantial, work though.
Louis: Thanks anyway.
(Remembering Chadwick's post) Louis and folks: Say your TOP10 of the best performances farewell or last film.
PS: it is only worth mentioning actors who managed to complete the whole work. Examples: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus does not enter due to the interruption of Ledger, and whoever is to quote Peter Finch is worth for Raid on Entebbe (1977) and not for Network (1976).
10º Clark Gable - The Misfits
9º John Cazale – The Deer Hunter
8º James Dean – Giant
7º John Wayne – The Shootist
6º Phillip Seymour Hoffman - A Most Wanted Man
5º Chadwick Boseman
4º Robert Ryan - The Iceman Cometh
3º Heath Ledger – The Dark Knight
2º Richard Farnsworth - The Straight Story
1º Harry Dean Stanton – Lucky
Delroy Lindo
Tahar Rahim
Mads Mikkelsen
Kingsley Ben-Adir
Mark Rylance
Louis: Is Black Snake Moan not 2007. That late 2006 showing was part of a festival if I'm not mistaken.
Brazinterma:
No complete work designation for, so Hoffman's last is Hunger Games, Ledger's is in Gilliam's film and Stanton's is Frank and Ava. I do count Finch though as Network was his last feature film release.
1. Richard Farnsworth - The Straight Story
2. Richard Jordan - Gettysburg
3. Peter Finch - Network
4. Robert Ryan - The Iceman Cometh
5. Chadwick Boseman - Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
6. John Wayne - The Shootist
7. Raul Julia - Street Fighter
8. Edward G. Robinson - Soylent Green
9. Oliver Reed - Gladiator
10. James Gandolfini - The Drop
Note: Rahim will not be in consideration for the alternate lineup as he's a 2021 leading turn.
Luke:
Come on Luke, the request was just made, let's have a grace period shall we?
Louis: Sorry.
I thought it was 2006, nevermind. Apologies for not giving you the year Louis.
Has Louis given his Actress and Supporting Actress lineups for this year yet? If so, can somebody point me in that direction.
I hope Patel gets reviewed. I've been championing him for the past year.
Michael: The nominees or the overalls.
Has 2013 been dethroned by 2020 (film-wise, not life-wise)? Will you do another ranking of every single nominated performance ever in lead and supporting actor?
