A mite too high, but I don't have any issues with him making the Top 25.

Can't believe Nicholson didn't even make the list. Perhaps it was too spread out, the same as Jack Lemmon?
Cool to know Keitel made the top 50, though, for Bad Lieutenant. He was my #1, so I'm glad I wasn't alone this time!

Fun facts about the Leading Actor list
- A total of 43 performances have placed on the five different editions of this list. 12 of them have remained on all five lists.
- Daniel Day-Lewis’s performance in There Will Be Blood has now placed at #1 twice in a row.
- Four performances on this list have never placed in the Top 25 before: Richard Farnsworth in The Straight Story, Robert De Niro in The King of Comedy, John Hurt in The Elephant Man, and Harry Dean Stanton in Paris, Texas.
- Three actors appear on both the Leading and Supporting lists: Robert De Niro, Heath Ledger and Kevin Spacey. De Niro has done so every time.
- Robert De Niro is the third actor to have three performances place on the same list, after Meryl Streep in 2008 (Supporting) and Marlon Brando on every edition except this one (Leading).
- Dustin Hoffman received votes for seven different performances.
- Three performances directed by Martin Scorsese appear on the list, as do two each by Paul Thomas Anderson, Elia Kazan, Stanley Kubrick, and David Lynch.
- 8 of the performances on the list won Oscars, and 13 more were nominated. One of the nominations, however, was for Best Supporting Actor.
- The oldest performance in the Top 25 is #14 (James Stewart, It’s a Wonderful Life, 1946). The newest is #10 (Joaquin Phoenix, The Master, 2012). This makes for a 66 year gap.
- The biggest gap in points is 104, between #1 (Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood) and #2 (Norman Bates, Psycho).

Can't believe this is the first time Stanton or Hurt have made the list. Glad my love for De Niro's King performance gave him a boost this time, even though I wish it were over the other two.
Oh shit, just realized Dustin Hoffman didn't place either. My favorite actor, but I figured it would be difficult to pinpoint just one stand-out among his work.

Some rather obvious results, but I like what I see and the top spot went to the correct performance. Abraham, Sellers, and Phoenix in the top 10 is beautiful, and I love seeing Farnsworth, Hurt, and Stanton on here (although the first and the third should have been much higher). Pacino being placed in the top five for his best performance is great. And I appreciate seeing Affleck, even though I'd appreciate it just a bit more if he were on the other list.

Perkins at #2 is awesome but I wouldn't call it a Top 5 performance, maybe top 10.
Same with De Niro in Taxi Driver.
Pacino's performances are good, I think they probably both deserve Top 25 but I wouldn't put DDA in Top 5.
Not huge on Dr. Strangelove or To Kill a Mockingbird but I like the lead performances in both.
De Niro in Raging Bull, idk if I'd call it Top 10. Maybe I would but idk.
McDowell should've made the Top 10.
As for the ones that missed,
Would've liked to see Nicholson make the cut.
I consider Finch supporting but w/e.
Glad that Pacino made it in for his better Godfather performance.
Hackman truly is great in The Conversation. Probably my favorite performance in a Coppola film, Top 3 for sure.
Disappointed Norton didn't make the cut, that's Top 5 stuff for me.
Based Klaus Kinski needs to be on the list.
Don't really mind DiCaprio missing.
Would've liked to see Affleck and maybe Phoenix as well make the cut.
I think I'd put Nicholson's Chinatown performance close to the bottom of the Top 25 or just outside it, idk. Hopefully Dunaway makes the cut in the actress Top 25, I know it's already up but I haven't checked yet.

Brando (for Streetcar), Day-Lewis (TWBB), Hopkins and Burton deserve to be there, but they're not surprising. On the other hand, I'm so happy that Spacey, Hurt and Farnsworth made it into the top 25! The absence of Nicholson (for Cuckoo's Nest) kinda saddens me, he was my #2. And whoever voted for Giamatti, Norton and Phoenix (for Her) is a friend of mine. Great list overall. I'm also happy that Pacino (Dog Day Afternoon) and De Niro (Taxi Driver) are there, even though they were not on my list.
