The 2 oldest BA nominated turns ...........ever iirc (maybe about to be broken by Anthony Hopkins this year): Richard Farnsworth in The Straight Story and Bruce Dern in Nebraska. Which of these do you prefer and is either man your win in their respective years.......and how has this not been done before? Both men were 2 time nominees, no wins and of course many years of memorable turns:

Cool idea! Nothing against Dern, but Farnsworth shatters this.

I love Dern in this but it's Farnsworth.

Both are incredible but only Farnsworth is among my top 10 favorite male performances of all time.

Dern is magnificent, majestic, and owns every second he's on-screen . . . but Farnsworth is my #3 of all time. It just ain't close.

Also, I know this is super-petty on my part, but a part of me is hoping that Hopkins misses out on the nomination just so that Farnsworth's record continues to stand.

Dern is superb but Farnsworth is all timer.

Vastly prefer Dern's film but it's Farnsworth for me too.

Love them both so much, Dern is incredible the way he makes such a sort of showy role so low key, but to me there's two marks against him in this, the first is that he's kind of supporting in comparison to Farsnworth's movie owner, and the second is that now that character is the democratic nominee for President of the United States it is no longer amusing.

Dern is terrific in Nebraska, but as far as a real finale from an old seasoned pro is concerned, it's hard to beat Farnsworth in The Straight Story.

Man is that a tough choice. Both are my wins in the years in question too. I have to give it to Farnsworth though.
