Allie's Top 31 Performances of the Decade
These performances I chose were excellent throughout their existence, whether that be one movie, a series of movies, a long lived television show or one cancelled before it's time, but I feel these particular scenes encompass these characters, and demonstate just how impressive these actors can be. I guess I would consider these scenes what I would want to be shown at the Oscars (or Emmys) as these actors' much deserved nominations were announced.
