Marisa Tomei - My Cousin Vinny - Best Supporting Actress - 1992
I absolutely loved this performance. Everytime I channel surf and see My Cousin Vinny on tv I stop and watch the rest of it.
Shooting a Deer Monologue (NSFW)
I had a major crush on her growing up because of this movie. Fricken gold. I love the part where she's talking cars in court. But this deer scene is the best.
In the Best Original Song category, I'm proud to Select, from 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's, Moon River -- Music by Henry Mancini, Lyrics by Johnny Mercer. Damn, this is a gorgeous song; this would be a favorite movie of mine were it not for Mickey Rooney's offensive asian landlord which sours the entire film somewhat, but when it comes to songs, few work as well both on their own and in the context of the movie as well as Moon River.
It's great on it's own with Holly sitting on the balcony, but I love how Mancini uses the theme from it during the final scene of the movie:
Why? Cause you took a Godfather movie? I've never seen any of them. Didn't mess any of my plans up. Bill Murray was the reason I made the "honor" category.
As I've said before, i'm not here to police this thing. Don't rely on the title of the thread. EG, you have until 10:00p to pick, then there's no more nice guy for anyone. AK's will happen at 12 hours, with or without our name in the title.

I think Windom was alluding to the fact that in a previous post, you predicted that he'd screw up the first round somehow.

Best Supporting Actor - the category for character actors, my favorite "that guy" actors.
1978 - Christopher Walken - The Deer Hunter
I'll admit, I haven't watched The Deer Hunter in about 20 years, and don't remember that much, but I remember Walken in it. Intense, crazy, and beautiful. I'm picking this one for Walken's whole career - not always illustrious, but always interesting.
Walken even wrote a poem about it:
On The Deer Hunter
It was a wonderful movie
Very popular
Many people saw it
Oscar
