One of the 4 living male Triple Crown winners (all from different countries!) Plummer in The Insider (1999) vs. a US GOAT contender De Niro in Silver Linings Playbook (2012) .Canadian vs. American ........two genuine supporting performances so no fraud here......both could have easily been nodded or rode their films many nods (The insider had 7, SLP 8), and both were ages ~68/69 when they did this work. It's De Niro's most recent nod (for now) his 7th........while Plummer had to wait a decade longer for his first nod but once he got it, they came quick for him (he has 3 now). Who do you like - not who should have been nodded - but better performance between these 2 acting powerhouses?   |

This doesn't seem fair at all to me. De Niro is fine, but Christopher Plummer gave one of the best supporting performances of his year, if not the best one.

Between these two, I prefer Plummer. But why these two, really? De Niro has also The Irishman and Plummer gave quite a few more great perfs after The Insider: How about Beginners, or All the Money in the World? Or even Knives Out?

De Niro has also The Irishman and Plummer gave quite a few more great perfs after The Insider: How about Beginners, or All the Money in the World? Or even Knives Out?Same age, supporting performances of comparable acclaim in their respective years .......... The Irishman is a lead (and a 3 1/2 hour one) - the 3 Plummer performances I bolded above are all when he was 80+ - De Niro isn't 80+ (?)  If Plummer smokes De Niro in this poll that is fine..........it isn't supposed to be a comparison of 2 performances that result in a very close race ......... it's just 2 performances of the same type, acclaim and of the same approximate age  .............it's no different from Farnsworth smoking Dern in that poll........  |
