Voted Denzel, Jake and Joaquin.
Training Day was awesome. Denzel said it was one of his favorite roles.
Nightcrawler was a cool movie with Jake. I really liked the premise.
A lot of people disliked The Joker because it wasn't about the traditional comic book character but Joaquin gave a phenomenal performance.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Unfortunately, I've never seen it. : - (

A must !

 

[RichardHarrow]

Went with the two Jokers and Crowes performance in a beautiful mind.

I think Leo was better in Wolf and Revenant over Unchained tbh

 

[Chest Rockwell]

For me, Edward Norton in Birdman takes the cake.

 

[Spetsnaz77]

Wahlberg as Brock Landers

 

[Da Speeit]

Will Smith in the Pursuit of Happyness?????????

 

[TheNinja]

DDL
Waltz
Ledger

 

[Armbars]

Matthew McConaughey - Interstellar


Fuck right off. Worst actor of All time

 

[ookii]

 

[Hitman81]

I'm no acting expert and haven't seen many of these films so I just picked my 3 favorites.

1. DDL in TWBB
2. Hans Landa
3. Heath as The Joker

 

[Sweater of AV]

 

[Nightgunner05]

Christian Bale in the fighter, Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards, and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Bale is the best out of those three though. He was a different person in that movie.

 

[Dr Curtis Love]

Jesus, how do you pick just 3?

Had to go with Javier Bardem for No Country, Daniel Day Lewis for There Will be Blood, and Christophe Waltz for Basterds
