Peter O'Toole should have won for Lawrence of Arabia.  Political correctness gave the award to Gregory Peck for To Kill A Mockingbird.

It's really hard to choose just two. Would you consider allowing 3 or 4 per user, or make another list for female performances?

Anyway, my first pick:

Austin Butler in Elvis (2022)

@Jessica​ Since all the options are male, the actresses will be on another list.

My second pick would be Richard Burton in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.  He lost to Lee Marvin from Cat Ballou.
