Best Supporting Actor is always my favorite category at the Oscars. It is the category that is always loaded with great performances and is the category that allows under-appreciated veterans and up-and-coming character actors to get their due. This year is a list of named veterans who have made their ways around the block or two. They have all given a number of great performances throughout their careers, but what are there best? Here are…

I will be breaking it down similar to the Oscars, with five nominees, which are essentially…
