Bogie56 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Here are my best of the decade choices for the 1940’s. Best Actor 1948 Humphrey Bogart, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Best Actress 1949 Olivia de Havilland, The Heiress Best Supporting Actor 1948 Walter Huston, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Best Supporting Actress 1945 Margaret Rutherford, Blithe Spirit Best Juvenile Performance 1945 Peggy Ann Garner, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJH Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Thanks for the great work in compiling those lists, Bogie. It certainly looks like Humphrey Bogart was actor of the decade among our group of posters here, as far as nominations are concerned. My picks for best of the 1940s: Best Actor 1949 James Cagney, White Heat Best Actress 1940 Bette Davis, The Letter Best Supporting Actor 1942 Claude Rains, Casablanca Best Supporting Actress 1942 Agnes Moorehead, The Magnificent Ambersons Best Juvenile 1945 Peggy Ann Garner, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Note: As you may be able to tell from my avatar photo, one of my all time favourite performances is that of Walter Huston in Treasure of the Sierra Madre. However, since I originally classified him in the best actor category (where I just had him barely lose out to Cagney as best of the decade) he wasn't in my running for supporting actor in the best of the decade classification. If he had been, though, he would have won (much as I love Claude Rains in Casablanca). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 FAVORITES OF THE 1940'S Best Actor - Humphrey Bogart Treasure of the Sierra Madre Best Actress - Olivia De Havilland The Heiress Best Supporting Actor - Walter Brennan The Westerner Best Supporting Actress - Judith Anderson Rebecca Best Juvenile Performance - Peggy Ann Garner A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Best supporting actor was a very hard choice. Walter Brennan and Richard Widmark (Kiss of Death) basically came down to a coin toss, as I was affected by those performances more than any other. Claude Rains (Casablanca) was also a very close third. Best juvenile would have gone to Ann Blyth (Mildred Pierce) but I was the only one who considered her a juvenile at 16, so I went with my second choice of Garner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrat Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 As a group we seem to think Bogart is the actor of the decade, put Bette, Barbara, and Olivia at the top of the best actress races, love Claude Rains and Walter Huston, ditto Judith Anderson and Agnes Moorehead. Makes perfectly good sense to me. Actor of the Decade: Humphrey Bogart Supporting Actress: Judith Anderson, Rebecca Supporting Actor: Claude Rains, Notorious. With so many outstanding performances, Claude Rains is the Supporting Actor of the Decade and thus edges ahead of Walter Huston's wonderful performance in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Actress: A painfully shy young woman develops a sense of her own power. Wait, that could be Bette Davis in Now, Voyager or Olivia De Havilland in The Heiress. Either would be a worthy winner. Bette Davis, Now, Voyager. Actor: Three great Bogart performances to choose from, along with Robert Ryan in The Set-Up and Laurence Olivier as Henry V. Then there's Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath. I love 'em all. Olivier, Henry V. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraSmith Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Thanks, Bogie! These yearly polls gave me a lot of good tips, and it was a trip down Memory Lane. Focusing on supporting actors and juvenile performances made me realize that I've seen some of these actors in more films than I remembered. Picking one for each category is of course an impossible task, but here's my attempt: ACTOR: Humphrey Bogart - The Treasure of the Sierra Madre ACTRESS: Ingrid Bergman - Gaslight SUPPORTING ACTOR: Claude Rains - Casablanca SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Ann Blyth - Mildred Pierce JUVENILE PERFORMANCE: Natalie Wood - Miracle on 34th Street 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 If Kay, Swithin, Princess of Tap and anyone else for that matter would like to offer their choices for the best of the decade in the various categories I will include them in our little tally. And to anyone wishing to join in as we move forward through the 50's please do so! Whether you would like to just offer a few favourites or to post about a good performance, all is welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'll do this just to be sporting- but my answers won't last through the night, I suspect. The men are winning for villainous performances, and were easier to pick than the women, who are winning for comedy. Actor: Humphrey Bogart - The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) Actress: Deborah Kerr - I See a Dark Stranger (1946) Supporting Actor: Richard Widmark - Kiss of Death (1947) Supporting Actress: Joan Greenwood - Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) Juvenile: Luciano De Ambrosis in The Children Are Watching Us (1944) While going through this decade I was singularly impressed by the output of Hume Cronyn. He made his debut as comic support in Shadow of a Doubt, but quickly shifted into roles with more depth, like Lifeboat, his amiable part in The Seventh Cross, and an aged patriarch in The Green Years the very same year he was playing a romantic protagonist in A Letter for Evie and making a perfect turn as a snake in the grass in The Postman Always Rings Twice- and soon full-fledged villainy in Brute Force. And that's just from my own paltry knowledge! He's worth considering in the discussion on Actor of the Decade, I'd say. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I was sadly unable to complete my personal goal of having a Best Synergy winner for every year of the 40's. This is how far I got with it. (Any ideas for 1948? There's still time!) 1940 Brian Donlevy and Akim Tamiroff - The Great McGinty 1941 Victor Mature and Laird Cregar - I Wake Up Screaming 1942 George Sanders and Herbert Marshall - The Moon and Sixpence 1943 Henry Travers and Hume Cronyn - Shadow of a Doubt 1944 Clive Brook and Beatrice Lillie - On Approval 1945 Fanny Brice and Hume Cronyn - Ziegfeld Follies 1946 Hume Cronyn and Leon Ames - The Postman Always Rings Twice 1947 Elisha Cook, Jr. and Esther Howard - Born to Kill 1948 ??? and ??? - ??? 1949 Robert Newton and Phil Brown - Obsession 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 What does "Best Synergy" mean? In 1948: Van Helfin, Gig Young and Robert Coote in The Three Muskteers Thomas Gomez and Harry Lewis in Key Largo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein Lamberto Maggiorani and Enzo Staiola in Bicycle Thieves Barry Fitzgerald and Don Taylor in The Naked City John Howard Davies and Anthony Newley in Oliver Twist John Dall and Farley Granger in Rope 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Thanks, Lawrence. I'm still yet to see at least three of those, I'm afraid. For my purposes Synergy is basically the same as Chemistry- particularly harmonious or discordant interactive performances. Sometimes two totally dissimilar characters will become unlikely friends, or perhaps act like friends even when they are adversaries. Other times they will play insults like badminton, and come off like a vaudeville comedy team. Essentially it's how two fictional characters "get along" as personalities, how they play off each other, and so forth. How often they are on screen together, and their respective parts in the plot, is secondary to their... "electricity," let's say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
