    Bruce Davison's devastating performance (which would have had my vote to win though probably not nearly as watched or as appreciated as Goodfellas) in the AIDS tearjerker drama Longtime Companion was most likely in 2nd place with Supporting Actor wins from the Golden Globes, Independent Spirit Awards, National Society Of Film Critics, and New York Film Critics Circle Awards.

    I've never been sure if he should have won Supporting Actor that time. (Probably because I watched Goodfellas, and, while I admire the quality of the film, it's not my favorite). But I have huge respect for someone who doesn't mess around on stage, is straightforward, and then leaves right away. Too many people take the time to share their weird thoughts or promote something. I like the people who are in and out, and I like to think I'd be the same.

    In 1942, Davis was defeated by World War II. Nothing can convince me the wins for Mrs. Miniver and Greer Garson weren't motivated by politics. Not only does Bette Davis give a much better and more interesting performance, but Now, Voyager is a better film, IMO. While there are a couple of exceptions, romantic dramas don't generally win Oscars, no matter how good they are. They're not regarded as "serious" enough.

She was on an unmatched roll from 35 to 45:) And then she laid down a performance for the ages in All About Eve, and in case it wasn't enough, a bonkers one in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, for good mesure:) What a legend she was/is!:)

(I have a huge soft spot for a high-quality romantic drama, because we see them so rarely in contemporary cinema.) However, in 1942 Garson made another film, Random Harvest -- another top-notch romantic drama -- in which she gave a performance that's just as sympathetic as her turn in Miniver but, I feel, rangier and more complex. Her work in Random Harvest went unacknowledged by Oscar.

    So glad you included Frances McDormand for "Fargo." It's one of my all time favorite films, with so many great performances, but Marge Gunderson is its heart & soul. McDormand, like Nathan Lane in "the Birdcage," shows the difference between playing a character who fits a stereotype and playing a stereotype. She's the quintessential Minnesotan, but McDormand finds the depth and humanity of Marge, especially in the interactions with her husband, as well as the dogged determination to follow that very clear set of bread crumbs to the not-so-bright kidnappers. The topper for me is her monologue in the car after the infamous wood chipper scene. Her delineation of all the trauma and pain the criminals caused, all for some money, and ending with "and it's such a beautiful day" - kills me every time.

    Great picks, Brian! So many strong performances in that top 10 that still hold up well and live in cinematic immortality deservedly. However, in the case of Bette Davis, this quote from Katharine Hepburn applies to her the most, "The right actors win Oscars, but for the wrong roles". This applies to her so well. Instead of Dangerous & Jezebel, she should have (also) won for Of Human Bondage, The Letter, Dark Victory, The Little Foxes, All About Eve, and/or Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? Those would be easy all timers to put in any list. Thanks for this great list, Brian. So looking forward to the Lupita Nyong'o Oscar win video coming up too, such a strong performance and she heavily deserved a second nomination for Us.

    I love Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mockingbird and all but Peter O’Toole was right there. Also, spooky, I was just watching La Vie En Rose today, definitely one of the best performances in any biopic film. Also also, how could you not include Harold Russell a second time for his 1947 win for Best Supporting Actor in William Wyler’s The Best Years of Our Lives? He was a disabled veteran who lost both his hands in World War 2, played a character in the same position in that great film, and went on to win both the competitive and an Honorary Award that year.

    I actually think that Jezebel contains one of Bette Davis’s most beautiful and subtle performances on film and it was the film that made her a box-office star, after all. It’s my mom’s favorite Bette Davis film and it’s the first of her great “women’s pictures”. For the first time in her career, Bette Davis had a truly great director, William Wyler, whom she credited with making her “a far, far better actress” with his meticulous, tough direction of her in Jezebel. Even Tom Hanks recently told Ben Mankiewicz in a TCM interview that Jezebel contains one of his favorite performances ever recorded onscreen. I personally dislike horror films or Grand Guignol, so I think Jezebel is a much more deserving Best Actress win for Davis than Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? would have been. I personally think she was better in The Letter (1940) than the winner Ginger Rogers in Kitty Foyle & also in The Little Foxes (1941) than the winner Joan Fontaine in Suspicion. 1950 was a tough year because I think Gloria Swanson deserved the Oscar for Sunset Blvd., even though Bette Davis was a natural as Margo Channing in All About Eve. Thanks for including Bette Davis. She deserved more than 2 Oscars, imo.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning "Now, Voyager," my favorite Bette Davis performance. I always think Davis' sympathetic performances are underrated, and this one is undoubtedly the rangiest. I like Greer Garson well enough, but her win for "Mrs. Miniver" was more about politics than quality; besides, she gave a much more interesting performance, IMO, in "Random Harvest" that same year. (How interesting that my two favorite romantic dramas of all time both came out in 1942.) I'm also grateful to see Gregory Peck's magnificent performance in "To Kill a Mockingbird" on this list, since I've been hearing a lot of "O'Toole was robbed!" smack. I also agree about the b&w films of the 1960s; "The Miracle Worker" and "A Patch of Blue" are among my other favorites, although, for me, nothing comes close to "Mockingbird."

    O'Toole was robbed later, not in early 63:) How could Rex Harrison for My Fair Lady in 65 win over the magnificent performance of O'Toole in Becket ?! Hell, Richard Burton in Becket as well, and Peter Sellers in Doctor Strangelove were both more deserving than Harrison, in my opinion. He's good in the film, but man, he doesn't show the same range as the other 3 I mentioned. O'Toole gives everything he's got in Becket and never misses a beat. And Sellers in Strangelove, in a triple role is nothing short of legendary. I'm sure in hindsight it's one of those years were the winner has been eclipsed by the other nominees:)

You watch the iconic, "I Dreamed a Dream" number and pinpoint the exact moment she wins the Oscar. And then just every time she's on screen after that, tears. Immediate tears.

    When you say something is an "all-time win", it would seem to me you're saying it's absolutely certain to you that the right person won. I can't say that about Peck in TKAM. Peter O'Toole is, to me, as good or even more impressive in "Lawrence of Arabia". Even on the alternative scale of all-time awards that gave a long-deserving person an Oscar, which this did, it also goes negative, cuz Peter O'Toole never won an Oscar, so giving one to Peck somehow took it away from O'Toole. It's all rather sad and feels cosmic. You should probably do an independent video about the matter.

    In terms of "Mockingbird" vs. "Lawrence" and the lead performances therein, I think a lot of it comes down to which kind of movie you prefer: a vast, sweeping, broad-scale epic, or a smaller-scale, more intimate drama. While I've enjoyed my share of epics in my time -- and I do think "Lawrence" deserved its BP win just for sheer scope and majesty -- my personal preference is for the smaller-scale drama. I admire "Lawrence" but love "Mockingbird."

    O'Toole was even more robbed in early 65 when Rex Harrison took home the Oscar for My Fair Lady. Had the Academy not given a thought to the wonderful O'Toole performance in Becket? He shows so much more range than Harrison. Anyway, History has now placed both actors where they should be:) With O'Toole being perhaps the most celebrated ones of those who haven't won an Oscar.

    I think Lupita's Oscar win did more for black Filmmaking than people Realize. It was the performance that finally broke the "Romanticized Days of the Antebellum South" image seen in films like Gone with the Wind. and it was the final line for black Americans to draw in the sand where we collectively said "we are sick and tired of slave movies" and led to the massive push for truly diverse casts and stories with Black Panther being that film to be the big push.

    Davis has said Hepburn deserved to win (in Alice Adams) the year Davis won for Dangerous... back then, they used to release to vote total and Hepburn was in 2nd place that year. You said, you had to include Davis... was Hepburn in your other video- can't remember... if not- Aah- how about some acknowledgment for the most awarded actor of all time??? I'd say 'Ther Lion in Winter' is her best Oscar winning performance, she won for 'Morning Glory' in 33, but she always maintained she was more deserving that year for another film- 'Little Women' (she won the Cannes for it). Her 'Philadelphia Story' performance was better than Ginger's winning one that year and of course, I agree with Davis about her 'Alice Adams'. I'd also have to put her 'Long Day's Journey into Night' performance at the top of her career.... I've always thought she and Davis split the vote that year- '62, helping Bancroft take it, the way Davis and Swanson split it helping Holiday and Close/Gaga splitting it helping Coleman.
