1. Philip Seymour Hoffman
Often playing boring, disturbed characters with psychological and a long list of other problems, the work Hoffman did in the last 15 years of his life is worthy of a lifetime achievement award.
He is best known for his roles in The Big Lebowski (1998), Patch Adams (1998), Magnolia (1999), The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Cold Mountain (2003), Along Came Polly (2004), Capote (2005), Charlie Wilson’s War (2007), Doubt (2008), The Ides of March (2011), Moneyball (2011), A Late Quartet (2012), The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014) and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015).
