Re: 2011 Film Logs

I don't mind cynicism or meanness - sometimes - but it is when a filmmaker tries to disguise it that it pisses me off.
For the record, these are all the acting performances that I longlisted from the below selection in their respective years. Not all of these I would nominate - some of them may be seriously flawed, (I have masterlist for every year and when I see a film, I tabulate its best aspects on an Oscar-style ballot template and rank it relative to the quality of other films from that year) but I see enough merit in them to put them all 'in contention' to varying degrees:
