Kilmer Blew me away, I instantly went to check a see if he won an oscar for the role...was stunned to see He wasnt even nominated....
James McAvoy in Split
Tom Hanks In Captain Phillips(the last 10 mins of the movie has some of the best acting I've ever seen from Hanks)
Robert De Niro in Heat(thought he Owned this role)
Will Ferrell In Anchorman(completely outside that box, But Ferrell's Ron Burgundy is literally one of the greatest characters ever)
Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man
Hugh Jackmen, Patrick Stewart and Dafne Keen in Logan(IMO all gave Oscar worthy performances)
Jean Reno In The Professional
Mickey Rourke in Sin City
Tom Cruise As Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder(One Of My favorite Characters in A Movie, Just Hilarious, Completely Stole The Movie.)
Mike Myers As Dr. Evil In Austin Powers 2
Sacha Baron Cohen As Borat in Borat the movie
Daniel Craig As James Bond in Casino Royale
Robert De Niro As Jack Burns in Meet The Parents
Ryan Reynolds As Wade Wilson/Deadpool
Chris Cooper as Robert Hanssen in Breach

I'm so glad to see Mickey Rourke get some recognition for Sin City. Sin City is a criminally overlooked comic book film. I also agree about Logan everyone on there was terrific. Robert Deniro in Heat was outstanding! Isn't it insane that movie didn't receive a single Oscar nomination?
I also agree about Hanks in Captain Phillips. He gave amazing acting especially in the last few minutes.
I think Christopher Reeve gave an amazing performance as Superman. I think he deserved a nomination personally. His performance holds up nicely.
I view Terrence Stamp and Robert Downey Jr in the same vein. They made characters which were not very popular into cinematic icons. People automatically thinking those actors when you mention those characters. Rdj made a c list character into an A lister. Same goes for Stamp. No one knew who Zod was before him. No he's like a staple Superman villain.
A big one for me is ian mcdiarmid as Palpatine.
