Performances #100 - 96

100. BERT LAHR (The Wizard of Oz)



As the Cowardly Lion, Lahr brings warmth in his humor in a rather serious movie, and also makes us, oddly, feel sympathetic to the King of the Forest.

99. TONI COLLETTE (The Hours)


Although she isn't onscreen very long, Collette brings amazing depth into Kitty Barlowe, easily surpassing all of her other supporting counterparts in this already-amazing cast.

98. TIM BLAKE NELSON (O Brother, Where Art Thou?)



Heartbreaking and delightfully dim-witted, Delmar is portrayed seemlessly by character actor Nelson. His lines and manorisms steal every scene of this pitch-perfect film.

97. ALLY SHEEDY (The Breakfast Club)



Extremely odd, to the point of creepiness, yet somehow always entertaining and fun - this describes Allison Reynolds easily. The "Nymphomaniac" scene not only showcases excellent dialogue but crowns Sheedy as a true "basket case."

96. EWAN McGREGOR (Moulin Rouge!)



A suprise performance from McGregor is the second heart of the film as Christian - next to love interest, Kidman. Hideously over-looked around award season, McGregor is funny, heartbreaking, commanding- and most importantly, beliveable.


More tomorrow!
