A lot of great ones have been mentioned, but there are a lot that don't seem to be mentioned enough, if at all:
Joaquin Phoenix - The Master
Leslie Nielsen - Airplane!
Christopher Guest - This Is Spinal Tap
Alan Rickman - Die Hard
Kevin Kline - A Fish Called Wanda
Brad Pitt - Burn After Reading
Jesse Eisenberg - The Social Network
Peter Capaldi - In the Loop
Matt Damon - The Informant!
Andy Serkis - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Nicolas Cage - Vampire's Kiss
Colin Farrell - In Bruges
Alec Baldwin - Glengarry Glen Ross
Alfred Molina - Boogie Nights
Daniel Bruhl - Rush
Peter O'Toole - The Stunt Man
Tom Atkins - Night of the Creeps
Comedy performances don't get enough recognition. I'm also gonna admit that I don't understand the universal praise for Falconetti.

Re: Best Performances
Best performance to this day is imo Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
A very impressive performance from Mr. Stewart is definitely nr.2 on my list
James Stewart - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
Some random ones now:
Kirk Douglas - Ace In The Hole (1951)
Al Pacino - Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Sean Connery - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
