5A: Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List
5B: Jack Nicholson in Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
5C: Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood
5D: Joaquin Phoenix in Her

Those 4 are all absolutely amazing. And, really, all 8 are. If I were to rank the 8 remaining it would go,
Fiennes>Phoenix>Nicholson>Day-Lewis>Hunter>Sellers>Williams>Andersson. I'm happy 2 of my all time faves made it this far.

What I meant to say was that Jonze's direction in Her put Phoenix's acting in the spotlight. I haven't seen Persona in a while, so I'm probably biased about that matchup, since Her is fresher in my mind, as well as being one of my favorite films of recent years. Persona is due for a rewatch, though I prefer The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries over it.

But yeah, films are great these are some of my favorites

5D: Abstain, can't choose between my favorite 2 performances left in the tournament. Though I can't help but feel like Phoenix's performance was greatly enhanced by the directing, but it's a stellar performance nonetheless
