The Best Picture Rankings of the 2000s era nominees proved so popular that we’re back and this time counting down the Best Actor nominees! Awardswatch voters dug deep to analyze which Oscar nominated performances have stuck with us the most and which have been forgotten. Surprisingly, there were no ties in the Best Actor list. A huge thank you to Nicole Latayan (aka klariso) for skippering this crazy ship. Prepare yourself for some shockers once we get to the top 20!

Here are the hints:

1. Only one performance received no votes.
2. One actor has two of his nominated performances in the bottom five.
3. Only two times did Oscar and AW agree on the winning performance of each year.
4. Two years have four of the five performances in the upper half while two years also have four of the five performances in the lower half.
5. 16 different performances ranked first on the ballots.

The List: 50-41…

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
