WINNER

LEE MARVIN, THE BIG HEAT

Marvin is frightening as the intimidating film noir villain Vince Stone. He perfectly establishes his unique film persona in this drama bringing grit to the part striking fear into me with a simple stare or sharp line delivery.

GLORIA GRAHAME, THE BIG HEAT

Gloria Grahame as the fragile yet eventual vengeful Debbie Marsh delivers her most instantly recognisable femme fatale part in this classic noir. Her personality shines with us the audience constantly feeling for her.

MONTGOMERY CLIFT, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY

Montgomery one of the originals to introducing method acting to the screen is emotionally devastating in this classic war romance. The way he physically takes up space is monumental proving him a film great.

JEAN HAGEN, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN

Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont is among cinema's greatest comedic turns. From the voice alone her performance stays with you as she nails each comic line, physical action and facial expression to craft an indelible character.

Donald O'Connor is iconic in Singin' in the Rain whether he is appropriately supporting his leading man Gene Kelly, taking centre stage during his Make em' Laugh number or providing the necessary funny face.

ETHEL WATERS, THE MEMBER OF THE WEDDING

Ethel Waters performance as Berenice is one of the most soulful performances put to screen so warm, open and emotional confidently captaining this theatrical drama. Waters face alone is heartbreaking.
