5. Robert Duvall in The Godfather- Duvall is perfectly fine in the somewhat limited role of Tom Hagan. He is always exactly as Hagan should be, and does show more to him when he has the chance.
4. Eddie Albert in The Heartbreak Kid- Albert gives an enjoyable mostly reactive deadpan performance. He was not given that much to do, but I thoroughly enjoyed everything he did do.
3. Joel Grey in Cabaret- Grey's performance is a brilliant energetic performance, that creates an incredibly memorable character and makes for a very entertaining and interesting performance.
2. James Caan in The Godfather- Caan gives the best supporting performance in the Godfather, with his absolutely brilliant portrayal of Sonny handling every various aspect of Sonny from his particular charisma to his hair trigger trigger temper brilliantly.
1. Al Pacino in The Godfather- Al Pacino performance is lead, but he would have been deserving of that win as well for his astounding performance as Micheal Corleone. A true masterpiece of acting by Pacino that brilliantly shows an astounding transformation of a man that is amazing to behold due to Pacino.
Deserving Performances:
John Cazale in The Godfather
