I rewatched The Fighter recently and I have to say Christian Bale's peformance has truly stood the test of time - such a charismatic and compassionate performance.
Here's My Ranking 1. J.K Simmons - Whiplash (2014) = Perfection & Outstanding Performance 2. Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club (2013) = Near Perfect & Incredible Performance 3. Mahershala Ali - Moonlight (2016) = Incredible Performance 4. Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri (2017) = Impressive Performance 5. Christian Bale - The Fighter (2010) = Great Performance and also i think Andrew Garfield should have been nominated for The Social Network (Best Movie of The Decade). 6. Christoph Waltz - Django Unchained (2012) = Great Performance 7. Mark Rylance - Bridge of Spies (2016) = Great Performance 8. Christopher Plummer - Beginners (2011) = Great Performance 9. Brad Pitt - Onece Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) = A Good Performance but Joe Pesci did better 10. Mahershala Ali - Green Book (2018) = A Good Performance but Sam Elliott, Richard E. Grant, and Adam Driver did better performances that year So what do you think of my Rankings Luke 😊😊👍👍
Loved them Kev. It’s interesting to see how some people,love Maheshala in Green Book and others not so much. He’s been at numbers 1 and 10 on people’s rankings which is fascinating 🧐 same goes with Brad Pitt for Hollywood - some rank him high others rank him low. It goes to show there’s more variety of opinions in this category. Wonder if that’ll be the same for BS ACTRESS.- we will find out soon 😊 Glad we see eye to eye on Simmons and Mahershala in moonlight. I’m not as big a fan of Jared Leto - I liked what he did in DBC but it’s not my fav of the decade. I agree about Andrew Garfield should’ve been nominated for TSN - if he had I probably would’ve rooted for him to win but I’m happy with Bale out of that bunch. Thanks for watching and commenting (as always) 😁
Interesting ranking. I forgot most of the winners so this was a nice refresher. I say MORE rankings of Oscar winners. As far as JK Simmons, I wasn't as impressed with his performance in Whiplash as most people because I had already seen it in HBO's prison drama Oz which Simmons should have won multiple Emmys for. I also agree about Pesci over Pitt, but Cliff Booth will go down in history as one of Pitt's and Tarantino's best contributions to film so I'm more than cool with his win. As far as Django, I thought Waltz should've been in Lead leaving a spot for Sam Jackson who I thought gave the performance of his career as the house slave who hated all the other slaves, but, it is what it is. Looking forward to more of your ranking videos!
Thanks so much for your awesome comment - I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊 I have t seen Oz but if Simmons is ever better in that then whiplash then I really need to check it out. 😁👍🏼 I’m happy Pitt won - sometimes your favourite performance of the group isn’t always who you want to win when you factor in their track records. Still lobe his performance In Ad Astra. And yeah I get what you mean. It would’ve been nice to have seen Samuel L Jackson win for playing Stephen but he sadly didn’t make the cut that year (along with Leo) - 2 STRONG performances which are holding up better than some of the actual nominated performances in that group that year (Deniro for SLP in particular). Thanks again for watching - let me know if you have any requests. 👍🏼😊
@@LukeHearfield Buddy, come on!! Did you take the effort to watch The Master(2012)?? Philip Seymour Hoffman in that movie trashes both DiCaprio and Samuel L Jackson by a country mile. That's the similar query I had with your list of best actor performances ranking as well. Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln was not better than Joaquin Phoenix in The Master at all and shouldn't have won that year. In almost every article, Joaquin and Philip Seymour Hoffman's performances are ranked as the absolute best of the decade especially Joaquin who has given the best acting performance of the decade in The Master and is ranked number 1 in most lists. The fact that you absolutely ignored these two impeccable performances is disappointing.
My Rankings: 10. Mark Rylance - Bridge of Spies 9. Christopher Plummer - Beginners 8. Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club 7. Mahershala Ali - Moonlight 6. Christian Bale - The Fighter 5. Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri 4. Christoph Waltz - Django Unchained 3. Mahershala Ali - Green Book 2. Brad Pitt - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 1. J. K. Simmons - Whiplash
1:-JK Simmons 2:-Christian Bale 3:-Mahershala Ali(Moonlight) 4:-Jared Leto 5:-Sam Rockwell 6:-Mark Rylance(I agree with people who say that Stallone should have won but I also prefer Mark Ruffalo over Rylance as well) 7:-Christoph Waltz(Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master should have won by an absolute landslide) 8:-Brad Pitt(Some say Pesci, some say Pacino, I say that Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse should have won no doubt) 9:-Mahershala Ali(Green Book. Category fraud and definitely shouldn't have won over Richard E. Grant in Can You Ever Forgive Me?) 10:-Christopher Plummer(Brad Pitt should have actually won this one actually for Tree Of Life)
What a great ranking and I mostly agree with your picks (Exept Jared Leto, I still think that performance was amazing and I feel so bad for him because people are still giving him shit for his Joker performance). I would love to see some more oscar ranking videos for example best picture and and the best acting performance winners for 00s and 90s. Would also love to hear you talk about your top 10 favorite winners of all time. Keep up the good work!
Awww thank you much for the lovely comment - so glad you enjoy my Oscars stuff. Don’t worry I have planned to go through the noughties and nineties however I will need to catch up with a lot of the nominees for those decades before I do those rankings. I do like the idea of doing 10 favourite winners though- that’s a great idea for a video. 😁🎥💜 thanks again for watching and leaving a fan comment 😊 x
My List 10. Christopher Plummer (Beginners) I wanted Jonah Hill to win for Moneyball 9. Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) I wanted Tom Hardy to win for The Revenant 8. Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) I wanted Jonah Hill to win for The Wolf of Wall Street 7. J.K Simmons (Whiplash) I wanted Mark Ruffalo to win for Foxcatcher 6. Mahershala Ali (Green Book) I wanted Adam Driver to win for BlacKkKlansman 5. Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards) He deserved to win 4. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) He deserved THAT win 3. Christian Bale (The Fighter) Ok I liked his performance but the person I wanted to win wasn't nominated Andrew Garfield for The Social Network 2. Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) Again Leo needed a Nomination but he did deserve the win 1. Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood) He deserved to win
Cheers Caleb - I love hearing your rankings 😁 someone is a big Jonah hill fan 👍🏼 which do you prefer him in: moneyball or WOWS? Can’t believe I forgot to mention Andrew Garfield being snubbed for TSN - he would’ve also been my pick over Bale that year (had he been nominated). Thanks for watching and leaving your rankings and picks 😄 x
Great video Luke! I was excited to see this and I am so happy to see this. I'm looking forward to your next ranking and hoping it's Best Supporting Actress🤩 Keep up the good work and love the ranking. My ranking: 1. JK Simmons - Whiplash 2. Mahershala Ali - Green Book 3. Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club 4. Brad Pitt - Once Upon A Time in Hollywood 5. Mahershala Ali - Moonlight 6. Christoph Waltz - Django Unchained 7. Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri 8. Mark Rylance - Bridge of Spies 9. Christopher Plummer - Beginners 10. Christian Bale - The Fighter
Thanks so much - so glad you enjoy my work 😁 Loved your rankings - looks like this is a category where we differ more than usual but it’s interesting seeing how we compare. May I ask - what was it about Bales performance you personally didn’t like? 🙂 x
@@LukeHearfield Heheh oooh yeah, kinda differed here lots. I just found Bale to be boring in the film. I didn't like his win but I don't hate it as much as I did with Melissa Leo. Helena Bonham Carter just could've had one already. And also, a bit of a weak year and my choice to win was personally Geoffrey Rush among the nominees, then Andrew Garfield overall.
These would've been my choices to win for this category mah friend: 2010 - Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) or Geoffrey Rush (The King's Speech) 2011 - Alan Rickman (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows 2) 2012 - Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master) 2013 - Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) 2014 - Does this still have to be questioned? JK SIMMONS! (Whiplash) 2015 - Idris Elba (Beasts of no Nation) 2016 - Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) 2017 - Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project) 2018 - Mahershala Ali (Green Book) 2019 - Sang Kang Ho (Parasite)
i have an issue with how you judged Jared Leto harshly, in retrospect, for portraying a trans..while you gave Mahershala Ali a pass for portraying a gay guy...even though both men are straight. i think both should be judged on equal terms. so, without the issue of Jared's trans role should've gone to a trans actor...then there's nothing wrong with his performance. the same with Mahershala, in that even though he's a straight guy portraying a gay guy..that his performance was judged based only on his skill..not the politics surrounding it. I love Barkhad Abdi's performance myself..but, I do think Jared's performance was daring..and truly deserving that win..without being judged for how outdated the movie is today.
Hey 👋 thanks so much for watching and commenting 😁 yes best supporting actress is in the diary. Who was your fav best Supporting actor of the decade then? JK?
@@efan3948 awww I’m glad you’re enjoying them - please let me know if you have any requests 😁👍🏼 great picks for BSA - who were you least favourites? 🤔😁 x
Incredible list and pretty spot on with mine except for Leto who would be higher in my opinion. On the other hand, I just realized, Willem Dafoe could have been a two time Oscar winner in the entire decade with those two legit supporting performances in The Florida Project and The Lighthouse. Like he was already a tie with Sam Rockwell as the best supporting actor of 2017 and in my humble opinion, he was the best supporting of 2019 as well with the lighthouse, no disrespect to other guys who were nominated and Brad.
10. Christopher Plummer- Beginners Nothing against this but it would’ve been nice to see Jonah Hill win 9. Christoph Waltz- Django Unchained He’s still great but I think Leo or Philip Seymour Hoffman deserved it more 8. Brad Pitt- Once Upon a Time....in Hollywood He’s really just playing himself but that’s what makes it good 7. Mark Rylance- Bridge of Spies Subtle and probably deserved to win but Stallone or Ruffalo would’ve been cool to see 6. Sam Rockwell- Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Great performance and definitely deserved to win 5. Mahershala Ali- Green Book IMO him and Viggo are the only redeeming factors of this movie and he’s arguably the main character 4. Christian Bale- The Fighter Great Performance but Andrew Garfield would’ve been amazing 3. Jared Leto- Dallas Buyers Club Heartbreaking performance but I’m probably not the authority on whether it’s socially acceptable 2. J.K. Simmons- Whiplash Not much to say, pretty legendary 1. Mahershala Ali- Moonlight My favorite performance from my favorite movie
Great picks and justification for your rankings. So much of what you said I kinda agree with. Pitt is kinda playing himself and yet the performance Is so damm awesome hahaha Phillip Seymour Hoffman would’ve been a good choice that year but with him already winning before I think it would’ve been nice to have someone else win their first like Jackson or Dicpario - yet neither got a nomination. I agree, green book is salvaged by great work from mortnesen and Ali - he is in my eyes a lead but I don’t mind that he won because he is so good in the role. I also would’ve loved to have seen Ga4rfield nominated for the social network - I’m annoyed I forgot to mention that in my video haha, And I love that Ali is your top pick for Moonlight - that movie is masterful. Thanks for watching and leaving your rankings. Best supporting actress will be up on the channel soon - would love to hear your thoughts on my thoughts hahaha 😁
Great ranking! Plenty of well deserved Best Supporting Actor winners. 2010- Happy with Christian Bale in The Fighter, he deserved it. 2011- Haven’t seen Beginners, my pick was Nick Nolte for Warrior. 2012- Happy with Christoph Waltz, even though him and Leonardo DiCaprio should’ve both been nominated in Supporting Actor. 2013- Happy with Jared Leto. He completely disappeared into the role and didn’t see an actor, more so a character. If he wasn’t nominated, I would go with either Michael Fassbender or Jonah Hill. 2014- This was my favorite Supporting Actor win of the decade, no doubt JK Simmons absolutely deserved it. 2015- Mark Rylance was great in Bridge of Spies but I was hoping Sylvester Stallone was going to win for Creed. 2016- Even if he didn’t have a lot of screen time, Mahershala Ali was great for the time he had. I would choose Jeff Bridges or Michael Shannon. 2017- Happy with this win, Sam Rockwell was terrific in Three Billboards. Loved the arc his character went through. 2018- I’m ok with this win. Mahershala Ali was excellent in Green Book. If he wasn’t nominated, I would choose Sam Elliott. 2019- Happy with this win, Brad Pitt was awesome in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Willem Dafoe was snubbed for The Lighthouse.
Cheers for the awesome comment Jack - I love hearing people’s picks and rankings. Nice to know you’d put Simmons at the top too. Do you think Dafoe was more deserving for The Lighthouse over The Florida Project? And the only reason he wasn’t nominated because the film was too weird and horror-themed? 🙂
I love Sam Rockwell and I feel he's so natural in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri which just maked his performance and casting all so much better! He definitely deserved a nomination before though, imo for Seven Psychopaths.
My top: 10. Mahershala Ali in Green Book. Should have won: Timothée Chalamet for Beautiful Boy (should have been nominated) or Richard E. Grant for Can you Ever Forgive Me? 9. Mark Rylance in Bridges of Spies. Should have won: Sylvester Stallone for Creed or Tom Hardy for The Revenant. Also, Jacob Tremblay should have been nominated for Room. 8. Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained. Should have won: Leonardo DiCaprio Django Unchained (should have been nominated) or Philiph Seymour Hoffman for The Master. 7. Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood He deserved it, just because Willem Dafoe was ignored by The Lighthouse. 6. Mahershala Ali in Moonligth. Should have won: Dev Patel (Lion) and Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea) were my favorites actors in the category but Mahershala Ali was good choicie too. 5. Christopher Plummer in Beginners. He deserved it. 4. Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club. He deserved it but Michael Fassbender was good in 12 Years a Slave. 3. Sam Rockwell in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. He deserved it. But i want to see Willem Dafoe win for The Florida Project. 2. Christian Bale in The Fighter. He deserved it and Andrew Garfield should have been nominated for The Social Network. 1. J.K Simmons in Whiplash. He deserved it. One of best villains of the decade.
Love your rankings Giovanny, thanks for putting some thought into it. 😁 - agree Chalamet should’ve been nominated for Beautful Boy but I would’ve also loved to have seen Grant win. -agree it would’ve been nice to see Leo win for Calvin Candie, and same goes with Samuel l Jackson. - I think your the first person to think Plummer was the most deserving that year. I liked his performance but didn’t think it was anything special. - agree it would’ve been nice to see Dafoe win for The Florida project - although Rockwell was just as deserving. - and YES absolutely Garfield should’ve been nominated that year. If he had been I would’ve wanted him to win. Thanks for leaving your rankings and alternative picks. 😁
Really enjoyed this one! Thanks for doing it! I agree with almost all of your picks with this one too. Great list! Great video! Hope to see your rankings of the 2000's best supporting actor winners (maybe). My rankings: 1. J.K. Simmons - Whiplash 2. Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri 3. Christoph Waltz - Django Unchained 4. Christian Bale - The Fighter 5. Brad Pitt - Once Upon A Time In Hollywood 6. Mahershala Ali - Moonlight 7. Mahershala Ali - Green Book 8. Mark Rylance - Bridge Of Spies 9. Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club 10. Christopher Plummer - Beginners If I could have chosen the winners though it would look a little different... 2010: Andrew Garfield - The Social Network OR Christian Bale - The Fighter 2011: Jonah Hill - Moneyball OR Alan Rickman - Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 2012: Javier Bardem - Skyfall 2013: Jake Gyllenhaal - Prisoners 2014: J.K. Simmons - Whiplash 2015: Tom Hardy - The Revenant OR Sylvester Stallone - Creed 2016: Jeff Bridges - Hell Or High Water 2017: Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri 2018: Michael B. Jordan - Black Panther 2019: Song Kang-ho - Parasite But that's just me. Anyway. Thanks for doing this video! Great job! Sorry for the long comment 😂
Please, never apologise for a long comment - I LIVE for long comments 😁😂 - it means somebody actually cares enough about my work to leave a thoughtful response and cares as much as I do 😁 so thank you Jack 😁💜 I love it when people leave their picks for each year and you picked some great ones- rickman for deathly hallows was a nice one. I choke every time he delivers the “Always” line 😭 It’s a shame Jordan was overlooked for Black Panther and same with Garfield for TSN. That happens though. You’re probably the person with the closest ranking to my own (so far) - so I’m glad we see eye to eye. Bu5 it’s nice to see how differently other people rank this category- it’s got great variety. Wonder if it’ll be same for BestsupportingActress - that’s coming up next. Thanks again for the awesome LONG comment 😁👍🏼 it’s much appreciated. X
@@LukeHearfield thanks Luke! I love your rankings and can't wait for the best supporting actresses! I'll save my ranking of those until then. P.S. I won't apologize for long comments again 😂
On the 2013 winner...I do agree that both DiCaprio and Jackson should've been nominated, too. and I would've definitely picked DiCaprio for the win..cos he was just so darn GREAT in that..and I'm not even a DiCaprio fan. But, he truly deserved the accolade for that performance. having said that...without either of them nominated, I think Philip Seymour Hoffman gave the much better performance than Waltz for The Master.
Splendid list! I reckon we all know that 2019’s winner should have been Willem Dafoe for Lighthouse... And he would have topped at least my list of the best supportive actors of the 2010s.
I would’ve liked to have seen him nominated for the lighthouse and I would’ve championed him over Pitt in Hollywood. Just silly genre bias against horror films. Dafoe has been deserving for so long 😁
Mark Rylance I loved him in that movie BUT Stallone was the one to win he deserved it.... Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷 i recently discovered your channel cause of the Oscars 😁
My Ranking: Amazing- 1.Jk Simmons 2.Jared Leto(As a gay,Transgender man,I think he did great and I never found it in poor taste at all) 3.Christoph Waltz 4.Mahershala Ali-Moonlight 5.Mark Rylance 6.Brad Pitt 7.Christian Bale Ehh- 8. Sam Rockwell 9.Christopher Plummer Trash- 10.Mahershala Ali-Green book🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thanks for watching and your rankings Robert 😁 our 1 and 10’s match - it’s just everything else in between is more jumbled 😁 hehehe But it’s nice seeing how we differ. It’s really interesting to see where green Book Mahershala places for people- he seems to be the most divisive winner of the decade - some rank him at no#1 and others at #10 - I wonder if that’s because of the movie itself? Why does he come in last for you? This category is so varied compared to my best actor and actress ranking vids. 😁 thanks again x
@@RobertBurns71405 that’s fair enough (on both accounts) 😁 thank you for your honesty. I get where you’re coming from with Green Book but I still appreciate Ali in the film. ☺️
Nah tbh I'd probably choose Christian Bale, Christoph Waltz or Mahershala Ali (Green Book) as n.1 but I fucking loved JK Simmons in Whiplash too! They were all very good winners, only one though was Brad Pitt in OUATIH even though he was naturally great it wasn't my personal favourite and I kinda thought Leo was just as good if not better but Al Pacino could have easily beaten him for The Irishman but we all know it's just about time Brad finally won the Oscar he's been long waiting for.
Haven't seen Christopher Plummer's and Mark Rylance's performance yet. 8. Mahershala Ali for Moonlight I literally don't get the hype around this performance. he did nothing better than he did in Benjamin Button. 7. Christoph Waltz Leo should have won for Django, Jamie Foxx was way more Oscar worthy and I'm not gonna even start talking about Sam L. Jackson.... Literally they picked the only performance that was just solid at its best and I love Christoph so much. 6. Mahershala Ali Def a lead role and he put way more effort in this role than in Moonlight but still not so Oscar worthy 5. Brad Pitt Best part of the movie 4. Sam Rockwell even though Woody was more deserving but Sam's character's arc was just so great, great writing, even greater acting! 3. Jared Leto Overdue, hate he gets the shit since Suicide squad, such a great actor and I loved him so much as Rayon, such a transformation that sometimes I wonder what he was doing in the male category :D That's how great he was 2. Christian Bale Fighter is special because of the great actors in it. He stole the show. 1. JK Simmons dude gave me the creeps, very intense performance.
I have just seen 5 of these performances and my ranking is : 1. J. K. Simmons in Whiplash (what an intimidating Teacher! If I was his pupil I wouldn't stand him for a moment, all his veins and creases in his body plus his thunderbolt voice are showing authority.) 2. Christopher Waltz in Django unchained ( He is so charming and fun in Django unchained that any time I watch it I will be mesmerized. And I think his performance in Inglorious Bastards is also great.) 3. 4. Mahershala Ali in Moonlight and Green Book (He is really supporting, I must say I liked her better than the leads in these two movies. I also love his supporting character Boggs in Hunger Games too.) 5. Brad Pitt in Once upon a time in Hollywood (He is great and I love both his performance and the movie itself. I've seen many of his performances like The curious case of Benjamin Button, 12 years a slave, Se7en, Fight Club, Fury, Troy, Inglorious bastards, Babel ... and I think this is his essence to win. But comparing to other roles, this role is not the most challenging and important in this category.)
You defo need to put three billboards on your watch-list Katherine , cause you get to see both Frances mcdormand and Sam Rockwell in such complex and hilarious roles. 😁 Glad to see you our JK Simmons at the top top. 💙 I also agree on Brad Pitt. He’s such a talented actor and he’s done so many great films but he’s kinda coasting on charisma in Hollywood. He’s really great in the role but it’s not his most challenging role he’s had. He should’ve been nominated for fight club. X
@@LukeHearfield I downloaded Three Billboards this morning thanks to your emphasis, and you know, I think you should be a teacher because you have a great talent in emphasizing on things that matter.😄 Ok, I subscribed. Good Job with your following activities.
@@kawtharahmadi7003 yay! 😁 hehehehe can’t wait to hear your thoughts on best supporting actress winners (will try have it up later today). And thank you- that’s very flattering. I like to think my channel is a good mix of entertaining and educating one the topic of cinema 🎥🤓hehe
I never saw Bridge of Spies, my rank of the rest: 9. Christopher Plummer 8. Brad Pitt 7. Jared Leto 6. Mahershala Ali ( Green Book) 5. Sam Rockwell 4. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) 3. J.k. Simmons 2. Christoph Waltz 1. Christian Bale
🤔... While J.K. Simmons gives the best performance of this group, Sam Rockwell's performance as Dixon in Three Billboards is my favorite. I love a good redemption arc. Christian Bale is easily third, absolutely great performance and i'm glad he has an Oscar even though I was rooting for Jeremy Renner's chilling loose cannon bank robber that year. Everyone else is kind of a wash. I agree with you about Ali in Green Book. I loved his performance but it feels so fraudulent calling it a supporting role. Rylance gave a very dignified performance but I definitely would have given it to Stallone. Waltz was fun in Django but didn't leave nearly the same impression as he did in Inglorious Basterds. I would have given it to Arkin for Argo, as he stole the show and it was definitely more of a supporting performance. Controversy aside, I definitely would have given Leto's Oscar to Barkhad Abdi. Haven't seen Beginners, Moonlight, or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I also thought Joe Pesci had the best performance that year, thought I was alone with that one, he’s so… not Joe Pesci in that one and it stuck in my mind more than Al Pacino’s. I honestly thought Mahershala Ali was good performance but it’s NOT supporting, and think he’s one of the best winners for Moonlight.
You are so dead on with Simmons topping the list, and I am happy you acknowledged Richard E. Grant in Can You Ever Forgive Me? He should have been the winner, as good as Ali was in his role but totally in the wrong category. The Academy really needs to do something about category fraud.
Our top 10s are a very different, and mines a top 8. as I've never seen Bridge of Spies and Beginners. 8. Christian Bale (I just don't like boxing films I appreciate Bale was good but its not for me) 7. Christoph Waltz ( Probs need to rewatch this film as I don't remember a lot about it, so he may go higher when I do) 6. Mahershala Ali in Moonlight ( I just didn't get the hype!!, I thought the 3 actors who played Chiron were more deserving and they were all snubbed) 5. Jared Leto (putting aside the whole sis actors playing trans characters debate, I believe he was the right winner that year, I just don't think the film is very rewatchable and its not the best role of his career) 4. Sam Rockwell (between Rockwell and Wiliam Dafeo I would of been happy either way, both were amazing) 3. JK Simmons ( yeah defo the right choice, I don't think i've enjoyed watching such a dickhead more) 2. Brad Pitt (I think this is Pitts second best preformance, the first being fight club, it was just so much fun to watch and he looks amazing for his age, p.s I have to disagree with what you said about Ad Astra I found that film so boring) 1. Mahershala Ali in Green Book (I know this is unpopular but I have to be honest and just ignore the politics behind to film , I just loved Dr Shirley so much, but ur right it was a joint lead really, I think because it began with Viggo maybe :S) Keep up this the great Oscars videos, What do you think will happen oscars 2021? will it even happen ? :O
Hey Joe, loved hearing your thoughts. Defo give Django a rewatch and ask yourself who the best supporting performance was between waltz, Dicaprio and Jackson. Understand if you don’t like boxing movies - I’m not a fan either but I still remember how impressed I was by bale. My theory for Chiron is that because if the equal amount of screen time they cancelled each other out. But I love mahershala I’m moonlight. Totally get what you mean about Pitt in Fight club - travesty the film was so misunderstood upon release. I agree Ad Astra is boring but I see more of a performance from Pitt in Astra than I do in Hollywood. It’s a film that coasts by on Pitt’s charisma and star power. And fascinating you love mahershala the most In green book - I love him too in the film- best thing about it for sure. We do have very different rankings but I like that about this category - it’s very varied. I thought more people would put Simmons at number 1 but turns out I was wrong. Thanks as always for your thoughts 😁
I do think there will be an Oscars ceremony (probably virtual like the Emmys) - it’ll be one of the more interesting years of the academy awards because of the domino effect of COVID and film releases. It would be unfair not to give the films that did come out this year no recognition whatsoever - they wouldn’t have a fighting chance if they delayed it by a whole year.
@@LukeHearfield it'll be interesting to see what happens, not only with how they go about with the show but who well get nominated, I personally think it's been a very MEH year for films (still got a abit to catch up on tho) x

I rewatched The Fighter recently and I have to say Christian Bale's peformance has truly stood the test of time - such a charismatic and compassionate performance.
Here's My Ranking
1. J.K Simmons - Whiplash (2014) = Perfection & Outstanding Performance
2. Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club (2013) = Near Perfect & Incredible Performance
3. Mahershala Ali - Moonlight (2016) = Incredible Performance
4. Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri (2017) = Impressive Performance
5. Christian Bale - The Fighter (2010) = Great Performance and also i think Andrew Garfield should have been nominated for The Social Network (Best Movie of The Decade).
6. Christoph Waltz - Django Unchained (2012) = Great Performance
7. Mark Rylance - Bridge of Spies (2016) = Great Performance
8. Christopher Plummer - Beginners (2011) = Great Performance
9. Brad Pitt - Onece Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) = A Good Performance but Joe Pesci did better
10. Mahershala Ali - Green Book (2018) = A Good Performance but Sam Elliott, Richard E. Grant, and Adam Driver did better performances that year
So what do you think of my Rankings Luke 😊😊👍👍
Loved them Kev. It’s interesting to see how some people,love Maheshala in Green Book and others not so much. He’s been at numbers 1 and 10 on people’s rankings which is fascinating 🧐 same goes with Brad Pitt for Hollywood - some rank him high others rank him low.
It goes to show there’s more variety of opinions in this category. Wonder if that’ll be the same for BS ACTRESS.- we will find out soon 😊
Glad we see eye to eye on Simmons and Mahershala in moonlight.
I’m not as big a fan of Jared Leto - I liked what he did in DBC but it’s not my fav of the decade.
I agree about Andrew Garfield should’ve been nominated for TSN - if he had I probably would’ve rooted for him to win but I’m happy with Bale out of that bunch.
Thanks for watching and commenting (as always) 😁
That is a great ranking
Please keep ranking for other decades!!
I discovered your videos this week.
Watched all of these rankings.
Well done!
Interesting ranking. I forgot most of the winners so this was a nice refresher. I say MORE rankings of Oscar winners. As far as JK Simmons, I wasn't as impressed with his performance in Whiplash as most people because I had already seen it in HBO's prison drama Oz which Simmons should have won multiple Emmys for. I also agree about Pesci over Pitt, but Cliff Booth will go down in history as one of Pitt's and Tarantino's best contributions to film so I'm more than cool with his win. As far as Django, I thought Waltz should've been in Lead leaving a spot for Sam Jackson who I thought gave the performance of his career as the house slave who hated all the other slaves, but, it is what it is. Looking forward to more of your ranking videos!
Thanks so much for your awesome comment - I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊 I have t seen Oz but if Simmons is ever better in that then whiplash then I really need to check it out. 😁👍🏼
I’m happy Pitt won - sometimes your favourite performance of the group isn’t always who you want to win when you factor in their track records. Still lobe his performance In Ad Astra.
And yeah I get what you mean. It would’ve been nice to have seen Samuel L Jackson win for playing Stephen but he sadly didn’t make the cut that year (along with Leo) - 2 STRONG performances which are holding up better than some of the actual nominated performances in that group that year (Deniro for SLP in particular).
Thanks again for watching - let me know if you have any requests. 👍🏼😊
@@LukeHearfield Buddy, come on!! Did you take the effort to watch The Master(2012)?? Philip Seymour Hoffman in that movie trashes both DiCaprio and Samuel L Jackson by a country mile. That's the similar query I had with your list of best actor performances ranking as well. Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln was not better than Joaquin Phoenix in The Master at all and shouldn't have won that year. In almost every article, Joaquin and Philip Seymour Hoffman's performances are ranked as the absolute best of the decade especially Joaquin who has given the best acting performance of the decade in The Master and is ranked number 1 in most lists. The fact that you absolutely ignored these two impeccable performances is disappointing.
My Rankings:
10. Mark Rylance - Bridge of Spies
9. Christopher Plummer - Beginners
8. Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club
7. Mahershala Ali - Moonlight
6. Christian Bale - The Fighter
5. Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri
4. Christoph Waltz - Django Unchained
3. Mahershala Ali - Green Book
2. Brad Pitt - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
1. J. K. Simmons - Whiplash
Great video. Love an oscars ranking 😁
Aw thanks. Who was your favourite BSA winner of the decade then? 😄
1:-JK Simmons
2:-Christian Bale
3:-Mahershala Ali(Moonlight)
4:-Jared Leto
5:-Sam Rockwell
6:-Mark Rylance(I agree with people who say that Stallone should have won but I also prefer Mark Ruffalo over Rylance as well)
7:-Christoph Waltz(Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master should have won by an absolute landslide)
8:-Brad Pitt(Some say Pesci, some say Pacino, I say that Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse should have won no doubt)
9:-Mahershala Ali(Green Book. Category fraud and definitely shouldn't have won over Richard E. Grant in Can You Ever Forgive Me?)
10:-Christopher Plummer(Brad Pitt should have actually won this one actually for Tree Of Life)
You still thinking about doing this for the 2000s? (Also Willem Dafoe was snubbed big time for Lighthouse lol)
What a great ranking and I mostly agree with your picks (Exept Jared Leto, I still think that performance was amazing and I feel so bad for him because people are still giving him shit for his Joker performance). I would love to see some more oscar ranking videos for example best picture and and the best acting performance winners for 00s and 90s. Would also love to hear you talk about your top 10 favorite winners of all time. Keep up the good work!
Awww thank you much for the lovely comment - so glad you enjoy my Oscars stuff. Don’t worry I have planned to go through the noughties and nineties however I will need to catch up with a lot of the nominees for those decades before I do those rankings. I do like the idea of doing 10 favourite winners though- that’s a great idea for a video. 😁🎥💜 thanks again for watching and leaving a fan comment 😊 x
Great ranking
My List
10. Christopher Plummer (Beginners)
I wanted Jonah Hill to win for Moneyball
9. Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies)
I wanted Tom Hardy to win for The Revenant
8. Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club)
I wanted Jonah Hill to win for The Wolf of Wall Street
7. J.K Simmons (Whiplash)
I wanted Mark Ruffalo to win for Foxcatcher
6. Mahershala Ali (Green Book)
I wanted Adam Driver to win for BlacKkKlansman
5. Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards)
He deserved to win
4. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)
He deserved THAT win
3. Christian Bale (The Fighter)
Ok I liked his performance but the person I wanted to win wasn't nominated Andrew Garfield for The Social Network
2. Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained)
Again Leo needed a Nomination but he did deserve the win
1. Brad Pitt (Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood)
He deserved to win
Cheers Caleb - I love hearing your rankings 😁 someone is a big Jonah hill fan 👍🏼 which do you prefer him in: moneyball or WOWS?
Can’t believe I forgot to mention Andrew Garfield being snubbed for TSN - he would’ve also been my pick over Bale that year (had he been nominated).
Thanks for watching and leaving your rankings and picks 😄 x
@@LukeHearfield Thanks and yes I love Jonah Hill my favorite out of those 2 was in The Wolf of Wall Street, but his best is Superbad.
@@237schibe_ ah yes, Superbad - the role that launched his career. That movie takes me back 😂
Great video Luke! I was excited to see this and I am so happy to see this. I'm looking forward to your next ranking and hoping it's Best Supporting Actress🤩 Keep up the good work and love the ranking.
My ranking:
1. JK Simmons - Whiplash
2. Mahershala Ali - Green Book
3. Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club
4. Brad Pitt - Once Upon A Time in Hollywood
5. Mahershala Ali - Moonlight
6. Christoph Waltz - Django Unchained
7. Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri
8. Mark Rylance - Bridge of Spies
9. Christopher Plummer - Beginners
10. Christian Bale - The Fighter
Thanks so much - so glad you enjoy my work 😁
Loved your rankings - looks like this is a category where we differ more than usual but it’s interesting seeing how we compare.
May I ask - what was it about Bales performance you personally didn’t like? 🙂 x
@@LukeHearfield Heheh oooh yeah, kinda differed here lots. I just found Bale to be boring in the film. I didn't like his win but I don't hate it as much as I did with Melissa Leo. Helena Bonham Carter just could've had one already. And also, a bit of a weak year and my choice to win was personally Geoffrey Rush among the nominees, then Andrew Garfield overall.
These would've been my choices to win for this category mah friend:
2010 - Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) or Geoffrey Rush (The King's Speech)
2011 - Alan Rickman (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows 2)
2012 - Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master)
2013 - Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club)
2014 - Does this still have to be questioned? JK SIMMONS! (Whiplash)
2015 - Idris Elba (Beasts of no Nation)
2016 - Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)
2017 - Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project)
2018 - Mahershala Ali (Green Book)
2019 - Sang Kang Ho (Parasite)
You should do directors or cinematography next
Directors is defo in the pipeline, glad there’s someone that would wanna see a cinematography ranking 😁
i have an issue with how you judged Jared Leto harshly, in retrospect, for portraying a trans..while you gave Mahershala Ali a pass for portraying a gay guy...even though both men are straight.
i think both should be judged on equal terms. so, without the issue of Jared's trans role should've gone to a trans actor...then there's nothing wrong with his performance.
the same with Mahershala, in that even though he's a straight guy portraying a gay guy..that his performance was judged based only on his skill..not the politics surrounding it.
I love Barkhad Abdi's performance myself..but, I do think Jared's performance was daring..and truly deserving that win..without being judged for how outdated the movie is today.
love your videos! I hope you do one for best supporting actresses :)
Hey 👋 thanks so much for watching and commenting 😁 yes best supporting actress is in the diary.
Who was your fav best Supporting actor of the decade then? JK?
@@LukeHearfield my favourites were jk, sam rockwell, and Jared leto!! Currently binging all your videos btw hehe
@@efan3948 awww I’m glad you’re enjoying them - please let me know if you have any requests 😁👍🏼 great picks for BSA - who were you least favourites? 🤔😁 x
Incredible list and pretty spot on with mine except for Leto who would be higher in my opinion. On the other hand, I just realized, Willem Dafoe could have been a two time Oscar winner in the entire decade with those two legit supporting performances in The Florida Project and The Lighthouse. Like he was already a tie with Sam Rockwell as the best supporting actor of 2017 and in my humble opinion, he was the best supporting of 2019 as well with the lighthouse, no disrespect to other guys who were nominated and Brad.
Simmons was terrifying. Well deserved !!
10. Christopher Plummer- Beginners
Nothing against this but it would’ve been nice to see Jonah Hill win
9. Christoph Waltz- Django Unchained
He’s still great but I think Leo or Philip Seymour Hoffman deserved it more
8. Brad Pitt- Once Upon a Time....in Hollywood
He’s really just playing himself but that’s what makes it good
7. Mark Rylance- Bridge of Spies
Subtle and probably deserved to win but Stallone or Ruffalo would’ve been cool to see
6. Sam Rockwell- Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Great performance and definitely deserved to win
5. Mahershala Ali- Green Book
IMO him and Viggo are the only redeeming factors of this movie and he’s arguably the main character
4. Christian Bale- The Fighter
Great Performance but Andrew Garfield would’ve been amazing
3. Jared Leto- Dallas Buyers Club
Heartbreaking performance but I’m probably not the authority on whether it’s socially acceptable
2. J.K. Simmons- Whiplash
Not much to say, pretty legendary
1. Mahershala Ali- Moonlight
My favorite performance from my favorite movie
Great picks and justification for your rankings. So much of what you said I kinda agree with. Pitt is kinda playing himself and yet the performance Is so damm awesome hahaha
Phillip Seymour Hoffman would’ve been a good choice that year but with him already winning before I think it would’ve been nice to have someone else win their first like Jackson or Dicpario - yet neither got a nomination.
I agree, green book is salvaged by great work from mortnesen and Ali - he is in my eyes a lead but I don’t mind that he won because he is so good in the role.
I also would’ve loved to have seen Ga4rfield nominated for the social network - I’m annoyed I forgot to mention that in my video haha,
And I love that Ali is your top pick for Moonlight - that movie is masterful.
Thanks for watching and leaving your rankings. Best supporting actress will be up on the channel soon - would love to hear your thoughts on my thoughts hahaha 😁
Brad Pitt Is Brad Pitt in Once upon a Time in Hollywood
Great ranking! Plenty of well deserved Best Supporting Actor winners.
2010-
Happy with Christian Bale in The Fighter, he deserved it.
2011-
Haven’t seen Beginners, my pick was Nick Nolte for Warrior.
2012-
Happy with Christoph Waltz, even though him and Leonardo DiCaprio should’ve both been nominated in Supporting Actor.
2013-
Happy with Jared Leto. He completely disappeared into the role and didn’t see an actor, more so a character. If he wasn’t nominated, I would go with either Michael Fassbender or Jonah Hill.
2014-
This was my favorite Supporting Actor win of the decade, no doubt JK Simmons absolutely deserved it.
2015-
Mark Rylance was great in Bridge of Spies but I was hoping Sylvester Stallone was going to win for Creed.
2016-
Even if he didn’t have a lot of screen time, Mahershala Ali was great for the time he had. I would choose Jeff Bridges or Michael Shannon.
2017-
Happy with this win, Sam Rockwell was terrific in Three Billboards. Loved the arc his character went through.
2018-
I’m ok with this win. Mahershala Ali was excellent in Green Book. If he wasn’t nominated, I would choose Sam Elliott.
2019-
Happy with this win, Brad Pitt was awesome in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Willem Dafoe was snubbed for The Lighthouse.
Cheers for the awesome comment Jack - I love hearing people’s picks and rankings. Nice to know you’d put Simmons at the top too.
Do you think Dafoe was more deserving for The Lighthouse over The Florida Project? And the only reason he wasn’t nominated because the film was too weird and horror-themed? 🙂
I love Sam Rockwell and I feel he's so natural in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri which just maked his performance and casting all so much better! He definitely deserved a nomination before though, imo for Seven Psychopaths.
My top:
10. Mahershala Ali in Green Book.
Should have won: Timothée Chalamet for Beautiful Boy (should have been nominated) or Richard E. Grant for Can you Ever Forgive Me?
9. Mark Rylance in Bridges of Spies.
Should have won: Sylvester Stallone for Creed or Tom Hardy for The Revenant. Also, Jacob Tremblay should have been nominated for Room.
8. Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained.
Should have won: Leonardo DiCaprio Django Unchained (should have been nominated) or Philiph Seymour Hoffman for The Master.
7. Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
He deserved it, just because Willem Dafoe was ignored by The Lighthouse.
6. Mahershala Ali in Moonligth.
Should have won: Dev Patel (Lion) and Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea) were my favorites actors in the category but Mahershala Ali was good choicie too.
5. Christopher Plummer in Beginners.
He deserved it.
4. Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club.
He deserved it but Michael Fassbender was good in 12 Years a Slave.
3. Sam Rockwell in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
He deserved it. But i want to see Willem Dafoe win for The Florida Project.
2. Christian Bale in The Fighter.
He deserved it and Andrew Garfield should have been nominated for The Social Network.
1. J.K Simmons in Whiplash.
He deserved it. One of best villains of the decade.
Love your rankings Giovanny, thanks for putting some thought into it. 😁
- agree Chalamet should’ve been nominated for Beautful Boy but I would’ve also loved to have seen Grant win.
-agree it would’ve been nice to see Leo win for Calvin Candie, and same goes with Samuel l Jackson.
- I think your the first person to think Plummer was the most deserving that year. I liked his performance but didn’t think it was anything special.
- agree it would’ve been nice to see Dafoe win for The Florida project - although Rockwell was just as deserving.
- and YES absolutely Garfield should’ve been nominated that year. If he had been I would’ve wanted him to win.
Thanks for leaving your rankings and alternative picks. 😁
Really enjoyed this one! Thanks for doing it! I agree with almost all of your picks with this one too. Great list! Great video! Hope to see your rankings of the 2000's best supporting actor winners (maybe).

But that's just me.
Anyway. Thanks for doing this video! Great job! Sorry for the long comment 😂
Please, never apologise for a long comment - I LIVE for long comments 😁😂 - it means somebody actually cares enough about my work to leave a thoughtful response and cares as much as I do 😁 so thank you Jack 😁💜
I love it when people leave their picks for each year and you picked some great ones- rickman for deathly hallows was a nice one. I choke every time he delivers the “Always” line 😭
It’s a shame Jordan was overlooked for Black Panther and same with Garfield for TSN. That happens though.
You’re probably the person with the closest ranking to my own (so far) - so I’m glad we see eye to eye. Bu5 it’s nice to see how differently other people rank this category- it’s got great variety. Wonder if it’ll be same for BestsupportingActress - that’s coming up next.
Thanks again for the awesome LONG comment 😁👍🏼 it’s much appreciated. X
@@LukeHearfield thanks Luke! I love your rankings and can't wait for the best supporting actresses! I'll save my ranking of those until then.
P.S. I won't apologize for long comments again 😂
@@jackpinchuk9541 hehehe well I look forward to those rankings too ☺️ thanks again for the kind words x
On the 2013 winner...I do agree that both DiCaprio and Jackson should've been nominated, too. and I would've definitely picked DiCaprio for the win..cos he was just so darn GREAT in that..and I'm not even a DiCaprio fan. But, he truly deserved the accolade for that performance.
having said that...without either of them nominated, I think Philip Seymour Hoffman gave the much better performance than Waltz for The Master.
J.K. Simmons was the best of that list!
He was very scary and haunting
Splendid list!
I reckon we all know that 2019’s winner should have been Willem Dafoe for Lighthouse... And he would have topped at least my list of the best supportive actors of the 2010s.
I would’ve liked to have seen him nominated for the lighthouse and I would’ve championed him over Pitt in Hollywood. Just silly genre bias against horror films. Dafoe has been deserving for so long 😁
And thanks so much- would love to hear how you would rank them 😁
Mark Rylance I loved him in that movie BUT Stallone was the one to win he deserved it.... Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷 i recently discovered your channel cause of the Oscars 😁
My Ranking:
Amazing-
1.Jk Simmons
2.Jared Leto(As a gay,Transgender man,I think he did great and I never found it in poor taste at all)
3.Christoph Waltz
4.Mahershala Ali-Moonlight
5.Mark Rylance
6.Brad Pitt
7.Christian Bale
Ehh-
8. Sam Rockwell
9.Christopher Plummer
Trash-
10.Mahershala Ali-Green book🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thanks for watching and your rankings Robert 😁 our 1 and 10’s match - it’s just everything else in between is more jumbled 😁 hehehe
But it’s nice seeing how we differ. It’s really interesting to see where green Book Mahershala places for people- he seems to be the most divisive winner of the decade - some rank him at no#1 and others at #10 - I wonder if that’s because of the movie itself? Why does he come in last for you?
This category is so varied compared to my best actor and actress ranking vids. 😁 thanks again x
@@LukeHearfield I just find it to be a boring performance that doesn’t have much depth in my opinion.I also just hate green Book🤮
@@RobertBurns71405 that’s fair enough (on both accounts) 😁 thank you for your honesty.
I get where you’re coming from with Green Book but I still appreciate Ali in the film. ☺️
Nah tbh I'd probably choose Christian Bale, Christoph Waltz or Mahershala Ali (Green Book) as n.1 but I fucking loved JK Simmons in Whiplash too! They were all very good winners, only one though was Brad Pitt in OUATIH even though he was naturally great it wasn't my personal favourite and I kinda thought Leo was just as good if not better but Al Pacino could have easily beaten him for The Irishman but we all know it's just about time Brad finally won the Oscar he's been long waiting for.
Haven't seen Christopher Plummer's and Mark Rylance's performance yet.
8. Mahershala Ali for Moonlight
I literally don't get the hype around this performance. he did nothing better than he did in Benjamin Button.
7. Christoph Waltz
Leo should have won for Django, Jamie Foxx was way more Oscar worthy and I'm not gonna even start talking about Sam L. Jackson.... Literally they picked the only performance that was just solid at its best and I love Christoph so much.
6. Mahershala Ali
Def a lead role and he put way more effort in this role than in Moonlight but still not so Oscar worthy
5. Brad Pitt
Best part of the movie
4. Sam Rockwell
even though Woody was more deserving but Sam's character's arc was just so great, great writing, even greater acting!
3. Jared Leto
Overdue, hate he gets the shit since Suicide squad, such a great actor and I loved him so much as Rayon, such a transformation that sometimes I wonder what he was doing in the male category :D That's how great he was
2. Christian Bale
Fighter is special because of the great actors in it. He stole the show.
1. JK Simmons
dude gave me the creeps, very intense performance.
I have just seen 5 of these performances and my ranking is :
1. J. K. Simmons in Whiplash (what an intimidating Teacher! If I was his pupil I wouldn't stand him for a moment, all his veins and creases in his body plus his thunderbolt voice are showing authority.)
2. Christopher Waltz in Django unchained ( He is so charming and fun in Django unchained that any time I watch it I will be mesmerized. And I think his performance in Inglorious Bastards is also great.)
3. 4. Mahershala Ali in Moonlight and Green Book (He is really supporting, I must say I liked her better than the leads in these two movies. I also love his supporting character Boggs in Hunger Games too.)
5. Brad Pitt in Once upon a time in Hollywood (He is great and I love both his performance and the movie itself. I've seen many of his performances like The curious case of Benjamin Button, 12 years a slave, Se7en, Fight Club, Fury, Troy, Inglorious bastards, Babel ... and I think this is his essence to win. But comparing to other roles, this role is not the most challenging and important in this category.)
You defo need to put three billboards on your watch-list Katherine , cause you get to see both Frances mcdormand and Sam Rockwell in such complex and hilarious roles. 😁
Glad to see you our JK Simmons at the top top. 💙
I also agree on Brad Pitt. He’s such a talented actor and he’s done so many great films but he’s kinda coasting on charisma in Hollywood. He’s really great in the role but it’s not his most challenging role he’s had. He should’ve been nominated for fight club. X
Also I’m working on my best supporting actress ranking video of the decade now, make sure to hit subscribe if you don’t wanna miss it ☺️
@@LukeHearfield I downloaded Three Billboards this morning thanks to your emphasis, and you know, I think you should be a teacher because you have a great talent in emphasizing on things that matter.😄
Ok, I subscribed. Good Job with your following activities.
@@kawtharahmadi7003 yay! 😁 hehehehe can’t wait to hear your thoughts on best supporting actress winners (will try have it up later today).
And thank you- that’s very flattering. I like to think my channel is a good mix of entertaining and educating one the topic of cinema 🎥🤓hehe
I never saw Bridge of Spies, my rank of the rest:
9. Christopher Plummer
8. Brad Pitt
7. Jared Leto
6. Mahershala Ali ( Green Book)
5. Sam Rockwell
4. Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)
3. J.k. Simmons
2. Christoph Waltz
1. Christian Bale
🤔...
While J.K. Simmons gives the best performance of this group, Sam Rockwell's performance as Dixon in Three Billboards is my favorite. I love a good redemption arc.
Christian Bale is easily third, absolutely great performance and i'm glad he has an Oscar even though I was rooting for Jeremy Renner's chilling loose cannon bank robber that year.
Everyone else is kind of a wash.
I agree with you about Ali in Green Book. I loved his performance but it feels so fraudulent calling it a supporting role.
Rylance gave a very dignified performance but I definitely would have given it to Stallone.
Waltz was fun in Django but didn't leave nearly the same impression as he did in Inglorious Basterds. I would have given it to Arkin for Argo, as he stole the show and it was definitely more of a supporting performance.
Controversy aside, I definitely would have given Leto's Oscar to Barkhad Abdi.
Haven't seen Beginners, Moonlight, or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Christoph Waltz is just flawless in Quentin Tarantino's films! What an actor! Shame he fucked up Blofeld though that was wasted brilliant casting.
Supporting actor and actress usually get it right.
I can't believe you hadnt heard of beginners 😱
Hahahaha I probably had heard of it at some point but it’s certainly a film I never hear anyone discussing anymore 😆are you a fan of beginners?
I also thought Joe Pesci had the best performance that year, thought I was alone with that one, he’s so… not Joe Pesci in that one and it stuck in my mind more than Al Pacino’s. I honestly thought Mahershala Ali was good performance but it’s NOT supporting, and think he’s one of the best winners for Moonlight.
You are so dead on with Simmons topping the list, and I am happy you acknowledged Richard E. Grant in Can You Ever Forgive Me? He should have been the winner, as good as Ali was in his role but totally in the wrong category. The Academy really needs to do something about category fraud.
I hated almost all the winners in this categories besides mahersala Ali
Our top 10s are a very different, and mines a top 8. as I've never seen Bridge of Spies and Beginners.
8. Christian Bale (I just don't like boxing films I appreciate Bale was good but its not for me)
7. Christoph Waltz ( Probs need to rewatch this film as I don't remember a lot about it, so he may go higher when I do)
6. Mahershala Ali in Moonlight ( I just didn't get the hype!!, I thought the 3 actors who played Chiron were more deserving and they were all snubbed)
5. Jared Leto (putting aside the whole sis actors playing trans characters debate, I believe he was the right winner that year, I just don't think the film is very rewatchable and its not the best role of his career)
4. Sam Rockwell (between Rockwell and Wiliam Dafeo I would of been happy either way, both were amazing)
3. JK Simmons ( yeah defo the right choice, I don't think i've enjoyed watching such a dickhead more)
2. Brad Pitt (I think this is Pitts second best preformance, the first being fight club, it was just so much fun to watch and he looks amazing for his age, p.s I have to disagree with what you said about Ad Astra I found that film so boring)
1. Mahershala Ali in Green Book (I know this is unpopular but I have to be honest and just ignore the politics behind to film , I just loved Dr Shirley so much, but ur right it was a joint lead really, I think because it began with Viggo maybe :S)
Keep up this the great Oscars videos, What do you think will happen oscars 2021? will it even happen ? :O
Hey Joe, loved hearing your thoughts.
Defo give Django a rewatch and ask yourself who the best supporting performance was between waltz, Dicaprio and Jackson.
Understand if you don’t like boxing movies - I’m not a fan either but I still remember how impressed I was by bale.
My theory for Chiron is that because if the equal amount of screen time they cancelled each other out. But I love mahershala I’m moonlight.
Totally get what you mean about Pitt in Fight club - travesty the film was so misunderstood upon release. I agree Ad Astra is boring but I see more of a performance from Pitt in Astra than I do in Hollywood. It’s a film that coasts by on Pitt’s charisma and star power.
And fascinating you love mahershala the most In green book - I love him too in the film- best thing about it for sure.
We do have very different rankings but I like that about this category - it’s very varied. I thought more people would put Simmons at number 1 but turns out I was wrong.
Thanks as always for your thoughts 😁
I do think there will be an Oscars ceremony (probably virtual like the Emmys) - it’ll be one of the more interesting years of the academy awards because of the domino effect of COVID and film releases. It would be unfair not to give the films that did come out this year no recognition whatsoever - they wouldn’t have a fighting chance if they delayed it by a whole year.
@@LukeHearfield it'll be interesting to see what happens, not only with how they go about with the show but who well get nominated, I personally think it's been a very MEH year for films (still got a abit to catch up on tho) x
Mark rylance over sylvester stallone... (slow clap)
I take it you weren’t a fan of Rylance in bridge of spies?
