Favorite Non-Oscar Nominated Performances: Actor, 1986 - Blu-ray Forum

SelwynMcGinty · 09-17-2024, 01:00 AM

As the title of the thread suggests, we're looking to pinpoint the Next Best Celebrated Acting Performances of film history. Plenty of great turns get ignored or forgotten through the sands of time, and this is a quick way to review and vote for our favorites.

This is for the North American calendar release year of 1986, so to save us clicking on Wikipedia, the following Oscar nominees are exempt:

Best Actor - Paul Newman, The Color of Money
Dexter Gordon, Round Midnight
Bob Hoskins, Mona Lisa
William Hurt, Children of a Lesser God
James Woods, Salvador

Best Supp. Actor - Michael Caine, Hannah and Her Sisters
Tom Berenger, Platoon
Willem Dafoe, Platoon
Denholm Elliott, A Room with a View
Dennis Hopper, Hoosiers

Anything else is fair game! You may notice that the choices are primarily Leading roles, but I'm not going to disallow other selections. It doesn't seem fair or sensible to quibble about Lead/Supporting categories.

Feel free to discuss these or other choices, 1986 the movie year in general, or any other rankings or opinions.

Thanks to everyone participating in these crazy polls! Cheers!!
