Join in with your opinion as to which featured fellow stood out the most.

I think Kevin Spacey in “The Usual Suspects” was quite overrated. Some of my personal favourite Supporting Actor winners: Heath Ledger, Christoph Waltz and Javier Bardem (and probably the best three-year streak in that, or possibly any category in the history of Oscar winners). Another one of my favourite winners is Joe Pesci in “Goodfellas.”
Carol Channing
My top three:
1. Timothy Hutton, “Ordinary People”
2. Christoph Waltz, “Inglourious Basterds”
3. Martin Landaut, “Ed Wood
Pieman
Ledger, Waltz, and Spacey are where it is at for me. Granted, I haven’t seen all of those films, so shame on me. Still, those roles are so haunting, but so great to watch that as villainous as they are, I can’t help but cheer them on.

Heath Ledger. Never before or since have I seen an actor so completely immerse himself in the role, and all the while making it look completely effortless. Never once did Ledger come off as fake, nor did he overact. He perfectly walked the line between showy and subtle. Quite simply, he became The Joker, and I doubt I’ll see another performance in a superhero movie reach the level that Ledger achieved in “The Dark Knight.”
