Performances: #61 - 59.

61. JOAQUIN PHOENIX (Walk the Line)
Phoenix is great as the immortal Johnny Cash. He brings frustration, drug addiction, alcoholism, and unrequited love to the screen fantastically and justly earned the Oscar nomination he recieved.

60. JACK NICHOLSON (Batman)


Nicholson is absolutely the core of the film as the Joker in Burton's comicbook adaptation. I honestly think without his nutty-ness and the utter chaos he made, the film would be a complete snoozefest.

59. LIZA MINNELLI (Cabaret)

Minnelli shines as Sally Bowles, the iconic star of the Kit Kat Club in Germany. Minnelli is bubbly and fun but also harrowing and soul-filled. A fine, memorable performance.
