NYFF: The Actors

From the NY Film Festival

The festival wraps up tonight with the closing feature Persepolis (my short review) which Sony Pictures Classic will push in both the Foreign Film and the Animated Oscar races. (Don't be surprised if it shortlists in both) but today let's talk flesh and blood actors rather than cartoons. There were lots of famous and talented faces working their magic at the festival. Who were best in show and which ones have any prayer at Oscar recognition? I'll take them in the order I saw the films, men first.
