Is this acting wise or movie making wise?

Acting wise Christoph Waltz and Carey Mulligan. Replace Mulligan with director Marc Webb if it's a generic movie-maker category.

Acting. I'll update the OP.

Sharlto Copley - What an achievement, what a fantastic portrayal of what it is to be human in such a horrific situation.

Stephen Lang (if peeps can nominate Waltz who has been active since 1982, then I can vote for Lang ) - I've seen him in three films over the past year, the guy has a great presence on screen and I really think he has something special.
