Andy Serkis never even receiving a nomination for an Oscar will always remain as one of the greatest omissions in the history of the Academy. Most bonkers of all is that under the rules of the competitive acting Oscars, there's _never been any prohibition_ on nominating voice and mo-cap actors. It's simply a fundamental failing on the part of AMPAS's internal culture that even now continues to rob truly great actors of the recognition they deserve: for instance, Scarlett Johansson in _Her_ (2013), a simply sublime performance for which she was likewise ignored. Absolutely criminal.

Heres one that few people would even know about, let alone include on this list. It is from a TV miniseries, but so what? In 1985 a Canadian production was made of the classic Lucy Maud Montgomery story Anne of Green Gables. The title role was played by a relative newcomer, Megan Follows. Her performance was flawless and transcendent, and redefined the character for everyone whos seen that show. It has been almost forty years now, and everytime I hear about Anne of Green Gables, Follows persona comes vividly to mind. She played it with such genuine sincerity and humanity that it will stay with you long after watching it. She is a revelation, and great supporting performances were also given by Richard Farnsworth and Colleen Dewhurst as Annes foster parents. You owe this one to yourself.

Nice list. But Mojo, you oughta change the title for 2024. It's pretty glaringly U.S./Anglo-centric--as though few, if any "Best performances" ONLY happen in English by Americans or Brits.

Heath Ledger's memorable, fierce, and legendary performance of the version of the Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight, is not just the greatest acting performances for all time, but also a staple of legend and of time.

Charlize Theron is #1, no doubt in my mind. The biggest injustice in this video - remembering that it is a WM video so what else would you expect? - is that while it includes Jamie Foxx, it excludes the performance that should have been the winner that year, Don Cheadle in Hotel Rwanda. And I would place Cheadle a lot higher up the list than 12. Eisenberg and Bardem dont belong here.
