Do we wait for Oscars before we do 2025?

Also, Man, you plan on sending your revised lists to lew? Not gonna say I went through each and every year to see if I agree with every change your made but you did an admirable job from what I have seen.

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.

How about this for top 10:

1. Timothée Chalamet – Marty Supreme
2. Rose Byrne – If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
3. Jessie Buckley – Hamnet
4. Wagner Moura – The Secret Agent
5. Michael B. Jordan – Sinners
6. Sean Penn – One Battle After Another
7. Stellan Skarsgård – Sentimental Value
8. Ethan Hawke – Blue Moon
9. Leonardo DiCaprio – One Battle After Another
10. Renate Reinsve – Sentimental Value

I'd move Leo ahead of Penn.

1. Timothée Chalamet – Marty Supreme
2. Rose Byrne – If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
3. Jessie Buckley – Hamnet
4. Wagner Moura – The Secret Agent
5. Michael B. Jordan – Sinners
6. Leonardo DiCaprio – One Battle After Another
7. Sean Penn – One Battle After Another
8. Stellan Skarsgård – Sentimental Value
9. Ethan Hawke – Blue Moon
10. Renate Reinsve – Sentimental Value

11. Jacob Elordi – Frankenstein 
12. Amy Madigan – Weapons 
13. Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas – Sentimental Value
14. Lee Byung-hun – No Other Choice
15. Benicio del Toro – One Battle After Another 
16. Teyana Taylor – One Battle After Another 
17. Joel Edgerton – Train Dreams
18. Jesse Plemons – Bugonia
19. Emma Stone – Bugonia 
20. Elle Fanning – Sentimental Value

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

How about this?

1. Timothée Chalamet – Marty Supreme
2. Rose Byrne – If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
3. Jessie Buckley – Hamnet
4. Wagner Moura – The Secret Agent
5. Sean Penn – One Battle After Another
6. Stellan Skarsgård – Sentimental Value
7. Michael B. Jordan – Sinners
8. Leonardo DiCaprio – One Battle After Another
9. Ethan Hawke – Blue Moon
10. Renate Reinsve – Sentimental Value

11. Jacob Elordi – Frankenstein
12. Amy Madigan – Weapons
13. Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas – Sentimental Value
14. Lee Byung-hun – No Other Choice
15. Benicio del Toro – One Battle After Another
16. Teyana Taylor – One Battle After Another
17. Joel Edgerton – Train Dreams
18. Jesse Plemons – Bugonia
19. Emma Stone – Bugonia
20. Elle Fanning – Sentimental Value

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.

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.

MP's latest update looks great, btw.
