Favorite Non-Oscar Nominated Performances: Actor, 2018 - Blu-ray Forum

SelwynMcGinty · 09-25-2024, 12:22 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 2018, so to save us clicking on Wikipedia, the following Oscar nominees are exempt:

Best Actor - Remi Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody
Christian Bale, Vice
Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born
Willem Dafoe, At Eternity’s Gate
Viggo Mortensen, Green Book

Best Supp. Actor - Mahershala Ali, Green Book
Adam Driver, BlacKkKlansman
Sam Elliott, A Star Is Born
Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Sam Rockwell, Vice

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, 2018 the movie year in general, or any other rankings or opinions.

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

Lots of great work from the guys in 2018. Including Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly, awesome as Laurel and Hardy in "Stan & Ollie" - and Richard E. Grant, teaming beautifully with Melissa McCarthy in "Can You Ever Forgive Me?".
But I have to go with Ethan Hawke in "First Reformed". He swept the critics' awards that year but somehow missed a nomination. The man's given a lot of very fine performances but I think this may be his best.
