Best Male Performance: Philip Seymour Hoffman in CAPOTE
THE NOMINEES
Jake Gyllenhaal - Brokeback Mountain
Heath Ledger - Brokeback Mountain
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Capote
Viggo Mortensen - A History of Violence
Jeff Daniels - The Squid and the Whale
As much as I love PSH and admired him in Capote, I think he's had much better roles, and I think he does greater things than impersonation. I voted for Heath Ledger. :yabbse-sad:
Same here, I knew Heath didn't stand a chance but voted for him, his performance was superb.

Me too and for the same reason.
This was the toughest category for me. I voted for Viggo upon seeing his film again right before voting. It was just an incredible balancing act on display. But I could have easily voted for Ledger, Hoffman or Daniels.

I had really hard time deciding between the two--I don't feel quite so strongly that Hoffman has had
much better roles as you, JB--but I also ended up voting for Ledger. Of the two characters/performances, I decided it was the tougher job and more of an achievement. Still, given the roots of this board, it's not surprising that Hoffman was a shoo-in.
On the bright side, the best thing about a tough category is that it's that much harder to be disappointed with the results. The only one of the five that would have even marginally disappointed me is Gyllenhaal.
i also voted heath despite hoff being one of my favourites evar.
