Actor:
1) F. Murray Abraham, Amadeus
2) Al Pacino, The Godfather Part II
3) Anthony Hopkins, The Silence of the Lambs
4) Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
5) Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Actress:
1) Naomi Watts, Mulholland Dr.
2) Jodie Foster, The Silence of the Lambs
3) Rosamund Pike, Gone Girl
4) Charlize Theron, Monster
5) Nicole Kidman, To Die For
I was surprised at how much tougher Actress was than Actor. I feel so bad leaving out the likes of Swanson (Sunset Blvd.), Bates (Misery) and McDormand (Fargo).

Brando; On the Waterfront
DeNiro & Pacino; The Godfather Part II
Day-Lewis; There Will Be Blood
Burton; Look Back in Anger
Leigh; Gone with the Wind & A Streetcar Named Desire
Winslet; Heavenly Creatures

not sure what the fifth would be... Wright in Mrs. Miniver, Byron in Black Narcissus, Swank in Boys Don't Cry, Neal in Hud, Ullmann in Scenes from a Marriage. Something like that.

Actor:
1. Malcolm McDowell ~ A Clockwork Orange
2. F. Murray Abraham ~ Amadeus
3. Peter Sellers ~ Dr. Strangelove
4. Tony Leung ~ Happy Together

Actress:
1. Glenn Close ~ Fatal Attraction
2. Diane Lane ~ Unfaithful
3. Emily Watson ~ Breaking the Waves
4. Vivien Leigh ~ Gone with the Wind
5. Harriet Andersson ~ Through a Glass Darkly
Funny how my top 2 were both directed by Adrian Lyne.
Actress is much harder for me as well, I guess I find women more interesting to watch. HMs to Rowlands in Opening Night, Watson in Hilary and Jackie, Huppert in The Piano Teacher & Story of Women, Bates in Misery, Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire.
