If I were to pick the best of the best, I'd choose Nicholson and Leigh in the main categories... Supp. Actor is a real toss-up and in Supp. Actress I've seen way, way too few performances. But out of those I've seen, Gordon.

Hannah and Her Sisters is very good. Wiest was good but not Oscar-worthy. She was far far better in Bullets Over Broadway.
