I've got to hand the best performance, or better yet, performances, of the year to Philip Seymour Hoffman. Not content on winning for Capote, he proves he's a no-bullshit actor by appearing in 3 films: as a political adviser in Charlie Wilson's War, Ethan Hawke's embattled brother in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and Laura Linney's self-absorbed brother in The Savages.

Haven't seen most of the films in your list, I think I've been out of the loop for the longest time. I plan to buy bootlegs this weekend and catch up on my DVD viewing. I already have 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days; I hope it turns out well.
