90. MERYL STREEP (Out of Africa)
Donning an accent (!!!), Streep makes Karen Blixen an utterly confident and believable woman. Easily the best actor of the film, Streep justly earned this Oscar nomination.
89. ELLEN DeGENERES (Finding Nemo)
The only voice-over performance on the list, DeGeneres instantly made Dory a pop culture icon. Her wit and humor easily becomes the most memorable thing about the cute little movie.

88. TERI GARR (Tootsie)
Another Oscar-nominated performance, and another just earn. In possibly my favorite Garr performance of Sandy Lester, TOOTSIE has way more of a plot behind it when narcotic Sandy learns her boyfriend beat her out in an audition- as a woman. Hilarious, to say the least.
87. JESSICA LANGE (Tootsie)
The other star supporting player and Oscar winner is Miss Lange, who plays Julie Nichols. Her warmth and comfort to Dorothy (Dustin Hoffman) is magically changed to discomfort and confusion as she learns the truth. A fine performance.
86. TOM HANKS (Big)
All right, you caught me: it's 80's day. Hanks' claim-to-fame as Josh Baskin, a 12-year-old stuck in an adult's body, is beautifully played. Hanks's facial expresses are genius, literally as child-like as a 12-year-old's should be.... a worthy nomination, and even a win in my book.
