I haven't seen enough lead actor performances that I consider great.

Can i complain and say that the ending of 'bug' was way over the top and over acted? Granted i hated that movie with a passion.

This is the one performance that stuck out in my mind, though I admittedly only saw a handful of films from last year:

^^ I thought everyone did amazing that movie. Heath Ledger and Christian Bale were great too.

I can't make a list. If this question had been asked during Oscar season, I'd have a better answer.
