And here they are
Javier Bardem - "No Country for Old Men"He created the most memorable villainous role of the year, but did so with a glint of humor.
You loved him and feared him at the same time. No other performance has done that since Hannibal Lector.
Robert Downey Jr. - "Zodiac"He was cocky, sarcastic, deeply flawed, a show boat and very funny. Gave the dark film much needed humor and wit but never sacrificing his characters own voice.
Hal Holbrook - "Into The Wild"The quiet compassion and warmth he shows to the central character makes the rejection all the more tragic.
His final moments are a master class in restraint and sorrow. His Ron does not want to be alone.
Irrfan Khan - "A Mighty Heart" & "The Namesake"His performance as the head of police in "A Mighty Heart" is sympathetic and focused. Hugely complimented by his role as a father trying to provide for his family and instill his culture in "The Namesake".
Tommy Lee Jones - "No Country for Old Men"Give the film its voice of reason.
Masterfully lamenting on the unnecessary violence in the world without being preachy. He leaves you in regret for enjoying the film so much
Max Von Sydow - "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"How this wasn't nominated is beyond me.
Takes your heart and shatters it in two small scenes. The grief of his father is so private you hate to watch.
