Today's Choice Chop was nominated by Heather of Movie Mobsters. She suggested we take a look at an article by Castor at Anomalous Material, where he compiled a list of the top 50 male performances of the decade. That's a big job. Here's what he said in his intro:I am not including any 2009 roles, as I am choosing to let them settle, so don’t yell at me when you don’t see Christoph Waltz’s name on here. And I also limited each actor to only two roles for the decade. I decided not to do denote which actors had more roles that deserved mentioning with the males, as I knew I was going to limit myself before I made my list. I could’ve very easily listed another 50 performances, so I’m sure I left of a couple of your favorites. Make sure you let me know which ones I missed and discuss which of the following are your favorites.
There are, of course, the usuals like Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood, Sean Penn in Mystic River, Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler. But there are some surprise too, stuff I wouldn't have expected like Paul Bettany in Dogville, Francois Begaudeau in The Class, and Djimon Hounsou in Blood Diamond. Head on over to the full article to put in your two cents and see who else made the list.
The rest of the chops!
