I love that you give the 1988 award to Bruce! I nominate him, although I don't give him the win (Jeremy Irons is just too amazing to ignore in Dead Ringers. Still, your list is awesome here :-D
It's an iconic performance by Bruce. And I haven't seen Dead Ringers yet, or Reversal of Fortune for that matter. Definitely need to see those at some point.
