Peter Fonda might very well have gotten my vote shortly after this for his supporting role in The Limey -- but not nominated, right

stamp wasn't nominated for limey either right? voted fonda but none of these strike me as extraordinary performances or films - why 97?

Just hopping randomly.

Stamp's only nomination is supp actor for Billy Budd.

my favorite performances in The Limey were Lesley Ann Warren and Luis Guzman's.

glancing around at other races - 74's funny if only for the actual winner (shades of can't slow down winning at the grammys), 34 is interesting also (never seen the affairs of cellini but everything else totally oscarworthy in my book).

That's a good analogy! Art Carney and Can't Slow Down = perfectly respectable, unexciting winners (although Harry and Tonto is looser and weirder than CSW).

"everybody is good in the Limey"

Yeah it's good stuff.

have only seen three of the options, voted for one of Damon's best roles over movies that wouldn't make Nicholson or Hoffman's top ten

Saw all of these but Wag the Dog. Pleased to have voted for the winner.
