Sometimes we have acting line-ups with 5 great performances, but not necessarily all of them are in 5 great films. And sometimes we have 5 great films, but not 5 great performances. But how about years where we have 5 great performances in 5 great films? Name here line-ups in which this happened.

It's about the chaotic editing in Moulin Rouge!

The Best Actress race at the 90th Academy Awards. Not my favourite lineup or how I would have wanted it to end up but all 5 of Hawkins, McDormand, Robbie, Ronan and Streep’s performances were great (with Hawkins, McDormand and Robbie above the other two by far) and their films all were too imo.

FYC Emmys: "The Crown" in all categories, "I May Destroy You" in all categories, "It's a Sin" in all categories, "Small Axe" in all categories, Billie Piper ("I Hate Suzie"), Yvonne Strahovski ("Stateless") and Ruth Wilson ("His Dark Materials")

2017 Best Actress lineup had good performances and they were all in good movies. I thought that it was the strongest lineup in the 2010s. Maybe I don’t have Streep in my lineup but she definitely was worthy in The Post.

Director: Chloé Zhao, "Nomadland"
Actor: Delroy Lindo, "Da 5 Bloods"
Actress: Carey Mulligan, "Promising Young Woman"

Best Actor 1976:

Peter Finch – Network (winner)
Robert De Niro – Taxi Driver
Giancarlo Giannini – Seven Beauties
William Holden – Network
Sylvester Stallone – Rocky

One of the most consistently great lineups in Oscar history. Stallone is, if anything, the least of a good bunch, and while I’m not crazy about Rocky it is at least iconic and a classic of sorts. As arguably the greatest male lead performance of the 70s, De Niro has to be my pick, but he’s not miles ahead of Giannini who floored me when I first chanced upon Seven Beauties in my local arthouse, not knowing what to expect. That Finch is only third best for me gives some indication of the standard of competition here.
