Best Fiction Film
1. Holy Motors
-This was the one film that takes great pains to say something bold and new at every chance. Nothing in this film feels ordinary or bound by tradition. If It's old-fashioned, that's because Carax lives and breathes cinema. No other film was this committed to both a dyed-in-the-wool cinephilia and exploding the rules and conventions of narrative filmmaking.

Best Director
Paul Thomas Anderson - The Master
-I think this one sort of speaks for itself. He directs the hell out of this film. It's the best argument for a director as artist and storyteller that came out this year.

Best Actor In A Leading Role
Denis Lavant - Holy Motors
-Lavant made his name turning Leos Carax's complex emotions and inner life into a bruisingly honest and quietly hilarious character. Their partnership is one of the most unique in history. Here Lavant is everything: beggar, thief, rich man, father, tinker, tailor, etc. etc. The more disguises he adopts, the closer he comes to discovering something about his art and his director. No other performance this year was this exhaustive and diverse. Close second to Joaquin Phoenix.
Runners-up
Ebizo Ichikawa - Hara-Kiri - Death of a Samurai
-Miike has gotten good, outraged performances from many, many actors over the years, but none of such palpable sadness as Ebizo Ichikawa in Hara-Kiri. Ichikawa's tall, dark and handsome hero has a sad story to tell. While he sits before us telling the story an assembled group of cowardly murderers, he has got the same steely fearlessness and quiet menace as any of Miike's titular 13 Assassins. In the embedded storyline he's a proud father who watches his only daughter fall in love then into unending despair. Those big, gorgeous eyes of his showing the loss of hope in readable terms.
Michel Lonsdale - The Cardboard Village
-As long as I've been going to films, I've been aware of Michel Lonsdale. I first picked him out in Frankenheimer's Ronin and he communicated such age, warmth and wisdom that he must have seemed a hundred years old to me. Every film since then, I grew to appreciate his one-of-a-kind presence and charm. Now that he's finally gotten as old as he always seemed to me, I've come to see his every performance as a gift. I can't wait to see his next in Gebo And The Shadow by my personal lord and savior Manoel De Oliveira, living saint of cinema. In the meantime I have Lonsdale in The Cardboard Village doing heartrending work, fully committed to helplessness in a way I've never seen. Ermanno Olmi has said he won't make anymore films, that Cardboard was a parting gift. Thank heavens he's so generous. Not only did we get a tiny, complicated treat from one of Italy's masters, but one of the greatest and most humane performances Lonsdale's ever given.
Jeremy Renner - The Bourne Legacy
-Renner's performance seems to have been lost amidst a general eye-roll consensus about this film's relative merits. I enjoyed this movie considering it didn't need to exist and Renner's performance is bolder than it needed to be. For the first half of the movie he makes zero attempt at gaining audience sympathy, playing a drug-addicted killer with no friends or family with exactly the ferocity and brusque manner you'd expect from a person who's been through what he has. So it shouldn't be that by the end of the film you care deeply about him and what happens to him. And yet...
Sean Penn - This Must Be The Place
Let's see any actor of Penn's stature and record go for broke in quite such a splendidly queer fashion. Playing Robert Smith from The Cure, bird's nest hair, goth make-up and all, isn't an ordinary career move for an oscar winner, but Penn goes for it. My undying respect is his.
Iko Uwais - The Raid: Redemption
-Proving that to perform in a fight scene takes as much precision as any dance number, Uwais handles his dramatic moments with aplomb and stays in character while performing the most incredible, baroque fight choreography ever devised.
Jason Patric - Keyhole
-Endlessly winning performance from Patric, who too often is given roles that want for humour and grace, which he supplies here by the barrel-full.
Clarke Peters - Red Hook Summer
-Spike Lee, whatever else may be true, has directed some of the most eye-catching performances of the last 25 years. Red Hook Summer feels like a gentler, more welcoming Lee, anchored by Clarke Peters as an unflappable preacher who feels old and behind the times.
Gael Garcia Bernal - The Loneliest Planet
-A great, ego-less portrayal of a very specific kind of man under the worst imaginable conditions.

Melanie Lynskey - Hello I Must Be Going
-There was no more compelling performance this year. I could not take my eyes off her for a moment. The most honest portrait of a woman in the midst of an everyday crisis. Not only does she get the anguish of loss of control right, she also gets the embarrassment you would feel in such a situation knowing how bad other people in the world have it.

Tie:
Tom Hardy - The Dark Knight Rises
Jason Clarke - Lawless/Zero Dark Thirty
-I'd more or less sewn this up for Tom Hardy, especially considering he recieved no notice whatsoever for his portrayal as Bane, a villain for me, was the much more quotable, lovable and memorable villain than the joker. Perhaps I'm alone in this. And that's not to diminish Ledger's performance in anyway. It's just that Hardy's my guy and this is some of his most incredible work. But then I rewatched Lawless and saw Zero Dark and realized the guy next to Hardy in the former, the terrifying post-frat boy tormentor in the latter, was a completely mesmerizing force of his own. Whether as a moonshine-ruined bruiser, or a man whose blithe disregard for human life plays comes off like pledge-week entitlement, he has the subhuman game locked down. The best thing I can say for both performers: at their worst, you still want to see them succeed.
