I second this, very impressive indeed (I plan to include international performances on my 2025 list)

I think Timothee should be #1. I like Dubrow's placement for Hawke. I'd have MBJ higher than both of you do.

I'd move Leo ahead of Penn.

Just my opinion - but I'm thinking we are underrating Sean Penn while overrating Michael B. Jordan. Other than that, the list looks great.

Think we can just switch Sean Penn and MBJ on my latest list, think Penn's and Leo's performances in OBAA are similarly acclaimed with Academy win maybe being a tiebreaker in favor of the former.

[Dubrow555]

Ya very good point. I don't think Leo needs to be moved down. However, I feel like MBJ's Oscar win shouldn't give too much credence, I don't remember too many critics singling out his performance back in spring of 2025.

[Dubrow555]

MP's latest update looks great, btw.
