Russell Crowe
Crowe , phoenix was great lmao
Ah now. Leo has to go lads. Nowhere near as good a performance as Joaquin or Forrest, can't believe people are suggesting them
Russell Crowe
“A Beautiful Mind” was his best performance. IMO.
Matthew McConaughey
McConaughey in this performance is in my top 5 all time
Ugh, how is Leo here still
I went with Joaquin for Joker.
Joaquin Phoenix needs to go
Joaquin Phoenix
Denzel Washington.
Can’t say much to that because I haven’t seen either of Sean Penn’s winning movies 🤷♀️ I don’t care how long it takes to get rid of him; I’m sticking with Philip Seymour Hoffman
I’m between him and forest Whitaker
We all love him but it’s time for forest whitaker to go boys
His performance doesn’t even belong in the category since it is clearly supporting. However, he’s top 10 for sure!
Jamie Foxx
