75. EMILY BLUNT (The Devil Wears Prada)
Hilarious! Blunt gives a tour-de-force breakthrough performance as Emily, Meryl Streep's commanding assistant-bitch. Perfect comedic timing, and quite lovely herself, too. She instantly steals every scene she's in.

74. EMMA THOMPSON (Stranger Than Fiction)
Another very strong '06 Supporting female performance. Thompson's spot-on as snooty Karen Eiffel, not to mention how droll she consistently is.
73. JUDE LAW (Closer)
Finely portrayed...Dan is brought to life rather instantaneously in this great film. He's so despicable, but so relatable at the same time... great performance.
72. JULIA ROBERTS (Closer)
Roberts plays Anna fantastically as well (who wasn't good in Closer?). She held her own in some gritty scenes and definitely showed a dirtier side to "Goody-Goody" Julia.
71. BORIS LASKIN (Everything is Illuminated)
Utterly haunting and unforgettable.... as Grandpa (seen above, driving), Laskin hardly says a word (and when he does, it's in Ukranian), but nevertheless his performance is a knockout, to say the least. A clear win in my book in the crowded supporting category in '05.

(I know, doesn't really show off Laskin's range, but still a great scene!)
