Charles Grodin v. Darren McGavin
No contest: Darren McGavin's performance was clearly superior. Grodin is so obviously acting (if you can call it that), whereas McGavin's performance was effortless. When McGavin wanted to be arch like with the "Frah Gee Lee" scene (I still chuckle at it), it was in character; Grodin just flatly is badly overacting.
