5. Love is Strange – Charlie
Tahan
For
the year's most underrated turn. There is not a false note in any subtle
regret he makes.
4. Boyhood – Ethan
Hawke
For
his determination and intelligence above the call of duty. He is often not
given enough credit for that.
3. Starred Up – Rupert Friend
For feeling so rivetingly incomplete in a way that I didn't think
he was capable of. I look forward to what he does next.
2. Listen
Up Philip – Jonathan Pryce
For a brilliant
depiction of intellectual pretension and lack of fulfillment. It stands
alongside the best performances of his long and varied career.
1. Starred Up – Ben Mendelsohn
For his tremendous gravitas on screen, and for somehow
convincing us to empathize with Neville.
Runner
Up: Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) – Edward Norton
