I decided to prioritize actors who haven't been previously reviewed/part of an official lineup, but I'm sure other performances probably will also pop up during this time.

Can you rewatch Postcards from the Edge? I think you're underrating it judging by Streep getting a 4.

I'm aware I didn't win, but I'm just going to go ahead and use this opportunity to request Harvey Keitel in The Piano.

Tim said...

I've still got a request left from this year's Best Actor race and would like to use it on Michael Biehn and his hideously groomed mustache in The Abyss

Luke Higham said...

Tim: I'm actually glad you picked him because I'm hoping for a write-up on Harris as well.
