Best Actor 1972: Michael Caine in Sleuth

Michael Caine received his second nomination of six for playing Milo Tindle an Italian/English hairdresser who is having an affair with a strange mystery writer's wife. Sleuth follows the story of the hairdresser and the writer who play a series of very odd games with one another. Here I will mention that my review will have spoilers since I do not think I could completely review this performance without talking about the twists in the film. Caine in Sleuth goes up against Laurence Olivier and their work together is positively compelling. They really do not try to up show each other but rather they work together on the scenes to make them work. Caine starts out as Tindle without knowing what he is getting into. You get to know him well as he tells of how his father failed as a watch maker, and how Tindle stands as a man because of the way he just talks about by his own biography.Tindle next becomes part of an elaborate plot to steal the writer's jewels so they can both make a ...

Best Actor 1968: Peter O'Toole in The Lion in Winter

Peter O'Toole received his third Oscar nomination out of eight so far for playing King Henry the second of England in the Lion in Winter. Interestingly O'Toole previously played Henry in Becket which he also received a nomination for. The Lion in Winter is a fairly interesting film about the power struggles between Henry, his wife, and his three sons.

He does not copy his original performance by any means but I think he shows the aged and tired Henry. Every scene O'Toole is on the mark. His Henry is sad man who sees he has not much time left, yet still has great ambition in his soul. He cha...

Best Actor 1968: Results

5. Ron Moody in Oliver- Moody gives a very enjoyable performance in Oliver. He really comes off well as Fagin and he handles his songs very well. 4. Cliff Robertson in Charly- I can take or leave Robertson's first half of his performance but his transition phase and final phase of the performance are terrific. 3. Alan Arkin in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter- Arkin gives a heartbreaking portrayal of a man trying to silently make a human connection. 2. Alan Bates in The Fixer- Bates is very effective and gives a truly sympathetic performance. 1. Peter O'Toole in The Lion in Winter- O'Toole is plainly brilliant as Henry the second.
