Lie, Cruz, Stewart or Washington.
Would probably have to re-watch them all to narrow it down.

Denzel- The Tragedy Of Macbeth He likely won't win the Oscar, because as quetee would say, "Google Translator"  , but he gave a legendary performance in plain sight and usurped Marlon Brando as the Greatest American Shakespearan performance on film:

Most of the performances I liked this year were calibrated to just be one thing - and people responded to how well they made you feel just 1 thing and that's fine......but it was only Cumby who had to evoke things he wasn't even overtly playing. Don't overthink it - it's an all time piece of work - and the only performance this year I can't criticize in any way:
Runners Up: Cruz (Parallel Mothers), Blanchett (Nightmare Alley), Algar (Censor), Rex (Red Rocket), Phoenix (C'Mon, C'Mon) |

 Performer of the year Stephen Graham as a btw. And I can't appreciate these enough, some of my very fav actors giving more great perfs: Judy Davis Nitram and Cage Pig which was my personal root-for perf of the year but that doesn't mean it's THE perf although it'd make my top five. That goes to Simon Rex, Red RocketWho keeps wearing you down while keeping you charmed, he gives the movie a breathless motoring of bullshitting and humor and we have what might be the film of the year as well and largely bc of him. It's a chugging along perf of the new hustler, inventing competition to engage himself and feeling a caffeine-esque high off his own lies. Appearances matter - "Couple more days till the bruises go away." And he's got the good looks and meta history to totally buy him in the role and those freshman wrinkles of an age when you should know better, and he comes to seem a little pathetic at the same time. It's great casting.....as if his whole parody (sometimes literally) of a career was worth it just for this shot. It's a humming, fun perf on top of everything but a daring one too, daring you to root for him in this gutter fable of America riding its empty ego on fumes. |

Oliva Cooke/Jack O'Connell in Little Fish
They're a duo... one doesn't work without the other, so they share the distinction for me.

A performance that feels like a grandkid of the 70s, a child of the 90s - but the sleazy, sticky charm is a Simon Rex original - a porno Narcissus. And while it's an exhausting perf it is not for a second tiresome - it keeps going upwards. The movie itself is my #1 of the year - by far the most pleasant surprise of the season. Something is alive this year - miraculous! It's also more visually suggestive than all the Macbeths and Dunes out there. Those images of Rex and (the great) Suzanna Son chatting in the truck with the factories and the smoke in the all-too-close background... damn. |

I still have alot to see, but so far it's either Driver in Annette or Simon Rex in Red Rocket.
Edit: Changing to Micheal Grayeyes in Wild Indian.

Joining the Rex rollercoaster. Mattsby and Javi already put it beautifully. Everything Sean Baker wanted to do from the last decade or so he finally was able to articulate it here in many ways thanks to Simon's performance, he gives a human body to a current american psyche, both guys are not particuarly making fun but don't hesitate to get their hands all dirty and give this bastard front and center, a con artist who doesn't even know he's already lost.  A close second: Lea Seydoux in France, which in many ways does what Red Rocket to France (the country) in its own very glamorous, indulgent, idiosyncratic way. HM: Kodi/Cumby, Penélope, Cate in Nightmare, cynical Rampling in Benedetta. |
