10/27: Male Supporting
Iโll pick Tom Hiddleston as Loki in Thor and all other subsequent movies his character was in. He tended to steal the show.

2โฃ6โฃ Best Supporting Performance (Female)
WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (1957)
Elsa Lanchester is a scene-stealer in her Oscar-nominated role as the no-nonsense nurse to Sir Wilfrid (Charles Laughton); their comic bickering is a highlight

Oct 26: Supporting performance (Female)
Ann Savage in 'Detour' (1945)
Randomly picking one from my list of favourites. She brought so much personality to her character. Aggressive, unpredictable, sharp-tongued, you name it.

Wouldnโt it be loverly if Peter Sellers had won the Oscar he deserved for playing three roles in Dr. Strangelove instead of Rex Harrison winning for pretty much playing himself as an insufferable pompous asshole who sings?

Oct 25: โฆAnd the Most Undeserved Oscar goes toโฆAl Pacino in SCENT OF A WOMAN (1992)! Yes, he deserved an Oscar, but not for this overbaked hammeryโฆwhich may have put him on his current track of self-parody. Hoo-ah!

Ingrid Bergman
Murder On The Orient Express
It was a great cast, but she wasn't particularly great in any scene. There were other, better choices.

I know others have said it too - never been a massive fan of John Wayne, but he had much better performances than this (I.E. The Searchers/The Shootist)
