This is a follow-up to condemnedmovies 25 favorite films of 2011. I was not able to see Take Shelter, with Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain, but rumor is that both exhibited rare talent. 2011 was the year of Jessica Chastain, but I’m only putting 10 people on this list so she’ll have to try harder (in movies that get wider release).

So here are my 10 favorite performances of the year, 5 men and 5 women, listed alphabetically:
