    Viggo Mortenson - Eastern Promises

    I put that one ahead of all the others because he is easily the most badass character in movie history in my book. What he did, oh man. You have to watch the movie once and then go back and watch it again to get how amazing of a character he really is.

    Daniel Day Lewis - There Will Be Blood
    Rocky - Rocky 1,2,Balboa
    Michael Cain - Children of Men
    Uma Thurman - Kill Bill
    Dudley Moore - Arthur


    More to come.

    Yeah, awesome movie. Had I been told there was a 5 minute male frontal nudity scene beforehand I might have thought twice, and they went and turned it into one of the coolest scenes in the movie and made him even more badass. On second watch I liked it even more there are layers and layers of symbolism in the movie that I was completely oblivious to and then of course you pay attention to everything he did before the big plot twist.

    One of my favorite movies ever I might watch it again tonight.

    Don't know how I forgot that one. Watched Eastern Promises about 8 times already; love it. That was a brutal scene in the showers. Viggo is a good actor and was great in History of Violence and obviously L.O.T.R.'s movies.

    Lol, Amat inspired me to watch Eastern Promises again and they just played the shower scene. F#cking brutal.

    They did an awesome job representing the Russian Mafia tattos and how each one is supposed to tell an individual story of that person. They even look "prison" made. Good stuff; not sure if he did, but Viggo should have gotten some sort of award for that performance.

    He got nominated for Best Actor but lost out to Daniel Day Lewis. I'm not so sure I can disagree with that simply because Lewis' performance was much more epic and maniacal performances always score at the Oscars. I preferred Eastern Promises though but at that point it was just a matter of preference.

    Speaking of Best Actors, Forrest Whitaker as Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland was great as well.

    Haha, I watched Last King 3 times in the last week. Forrest did an absolutely amazing job. I'm for some reason always been fascinated with Idi AMin. Guy used to feed prisoners to his crocodiles he kept in a pool.
