picking the actresses was harder that I thought :p

is the list supposed to be based on cinematic value and perfection or preferences? I only ask this because you put Kill Bill as best movie :confused:

I selected it for cinematic value, not prefferences

Cinematic Value mainly - though obviously you've gotta like it. I honestly do think Kill Bill is technically the best film ever made aswell as my favourite, but what I'm most interested in is people's favourite acting performances.

yeah, didnt even try to go through those :p

Kate Hudson in Almost Famous would be one though IMO :)

Supporting actors is easy - especially the winner Christopher Walken in Deer Hunter which was just brilliant.

Support actresses is damn hard though, the bottom two on my list are really crap choices but I wanted to get full lists :p

actually you're forgetting Kevin Spacey is considered as a supporting actor in Usual Suspects and that was a performance for the ages.

as well as Samuel L . Jackson as Jules in Pulp Fiction :mrpimp:

true that about Spacey.

and about Denzel getting best actor for Training Day (as we were talking in the other thread) I really hated that, cause that Oscar was totally for Russell Crowe for A Beautiful Mind, but also cause Denzel wasnt the first actor in the movie, Ethan Hawk was. the movie was about him. Denzel was just the supporting character (N)(N)

actually Russel Crowe was the only thing that prevented A Beautiful Mind from sucking hard, so I guess you're right

He did better in The Insider than in Gladiator that gave him the oscar. Not that he was bad in Gladiator but the role isn't very dramatic... he just plays the though guy.

Guess the Academy likes that kind of role.
