I have seen the greatest ever acting performance I have seen in a film in my life.

Where does Forrest Whittaker's Armin in Last King of Scotland, come in the debate, for you?

Scarily accurate portrayal, enjoyed it.

Albumen - can I ask - what did you think of the Blue Lagoon?

I saw it when I was about 14 and never got to the end. Just wondered whether it was worth revisiting?

2 great parts, well acted.

Brendan Gleeson in In Bruges and Guy Pearce in LA Confidential stick in my mind as truly great acting performances. And Dennis Hopper's farewell scene in True Romance is also a stunning display.

Agree with those and would add Harry Dean Stantonj in Paris Texas

Can't believe I've only just seen this thread. Absolute classic Spielberg (the poster, not the film director).

US: outlandish statement made as fact.
Everyone else: er, no,
US: STOP f***ing BULLYING ME, WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS SHIT I'M A GOOD GUY WHO WEARS HIS HEART ON HIS SLEEVE

Superb.

BULLY Ok, I may have gone into hyperbole and over egged the cake but I still think it was a superb performance. I am me, take it or leave it, ain't gonna change aged 50 am I ?

Farrell was superb in, In Bruges, as well Buzzer.

Good to see he deservedly won the best actor Oscar - first person to win it three times.

Django got a couple of gongs as well. I'm pleased with this.

Paul scofield in man for all seasons.

Actually, this. Scofield's perf in Peter Brook's King Lear is unbelievably good...

 

[Meade's Ball]

At least Amour got Best Foreign. A shame it didn't sullenly walk the floor with the rest of the mostly-mediocre and nationalistic pap in comparison.

Strange bounce still Eddie Redmayne in the Theory of Everything just trumped Daniel Day Lewis so it is well timed
