Which actor do you think has been the greatest of the last 20 years?
Bryan Cranston don't @ me
Ok
jake gyllenhaal is my favorite
Christian Bale
TOM CRUISE = BIGGEST MOVIE STAR OF ALL TIME 👌
I know damn well if Joaquin didn’t play joker Watchmojo would’ve never even considered him on this list 🤷♂️
but he did 🤷♂️
Di Caprio deserved the no. 1 spot tho🤷♂️
Jacopo Dainotto....Gyllenhaal or Hardy deserved the no.1 spot tho 🤷🏻♂️
This is so true
So what?? Wtf your statement said nothing important
I feel that Hugh Jackman deserved an honorable mention.
Facts.
Then iron man and all of the maevek should too
Golden HD “iron man “
He was amazing in Prisoners and Logan 👌🏻
Nope. One okay performance in Prisoners
How is Denzel Washington not on here. 3 Oscar nominations in the last decade.
I wouldn’t object people people calling him the greatest ever.
Remi Danton from HOC but no denzel fucking boneheads
Cuz he is not that great lmao
@@frankocean6676how tf you get a kendrick profile picture but you're racist lol
@@hsn7018 how am i a racist
How wasn’t Denzel Washington not even in honorable mentions
i know he should be in top 5
He was more 80s 90s early 2000s
Mark Wahlberg too
I know right. What the hell?
@@rileywhalen6554 ahhh...MW is a B grade actor.
Still waiting for the day everybody stops sleeping on Cillian Murphy
I was thinking the exact same thing. If any actor is understated it's Cillian Murphy. All people have to do is watch his performance as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders to know he is one of the greats. And then they'll see all of his other work including the films he's made with Christopher Nolan! He's one of my favourites!
SAY IT LOUDER
@@benanderson3791 Watch his performances in the darl night trilogy. Billiant
I knowww I was hoping someone would have commented that
omg YES
You miss brad pitt, christopher waltz, hugh jackman, colin firth
Brad Pitt was better in the 90s and 2000s
christoph waltz aint shit if hes not in a QT film dude check out his movies with other directors he sucks and so does the movie green hornet downsizing spectre was mediocre so was big eyes among other movies
@@ajanthony1356 brad pitt had an amazing decade, he won an oscar for 12 years a slave, gave a good performance in moneyball and again won an oscar and a golden globe for once upon a time in hollywood, he deserved to be on the list but maybe they're not including old actors
Helmy R Christoph not Christopher and Luis has a point he hasn’t received any recognition for anything other than Tarantino movies and Django wasn’t in the last decade, 2009 I think
@@brianelmoelliott inglorious was 2009 django was 2012 probably the only good movie waltz did this decade lol
Where is James McAvoy... He's one of the most underrated actors right now...
The best of his generation...
@@IvyHilts you’re bugging he’s cool but chill
He is a Scottish lesbian
@@m.a.1416 you should go back to school
If an actor is able to play like 23 or 24 different characters in a movie transitioning effortlessly, then it's no contest. That is acting! James McAvoy should easily get number 1 yet he isn't even mentioned.
They haven't choose Johnny Depp because he declined their request to come on their show.
Wtf has Johnny depp been in those 10 years tl have him deserve a spot?
Johnny for?
Playing repetitive character in every movies?? 😂
Michael Fassbender?
J.K. Simmons?
Toni Collette?
Matt Damon?
Christoph Waltz?
Brad Pitt?
Charlize Theron?
Willem Dafoe?
Hugh Jackman?
Benedict Cumberbatch?
ARE YOU RUSHING OR ARE YOU DRAGGING?!
Tom Cruise, damn hell... He has been amazing in all of his films last decade...
@@arahul4045 What about the mummy remake?
@@adityagulati1618 we can neglect that one, can't we? Plus, he still performed really well in that movie too, it's just that the movie itself was lacking story.
@OpossumK Benebatch Cumberdict
In my opinion Joaquin, Leo and Christian Bale are in a league of their own...
Well they are all born in the same year.
You missed Jake Gylenhaall and Tom Hardy and Robert Downey Jr
Joaquin
Christian
Leo.
I said what I said.
Will Smith should also be in this league.
@kunhan chen It's just my opinion
I think Rdj is the most underrated actor of Hollywood
He would have been on the next level of actors if he would have not became drug addicted
If you think Rdj is not a good actor you can see his movie Chaplin . His performance in it in Outstanding
This is the day that you will always remember as the day that you forgot Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow
true
He’s not that great
Of this decade.
Yes
the best actor ever
Gary Oldman, Tom Cruise, Casey Affleck, Johnny Depp, Kevin Bacon, Eddie Redmayne and Sam Rockwell have been criminally overlooked here.
Jake Gyllenhaal is probably the most underrated actor of the past years! He's brilliant in all of his movies and the Academy doesn't recognize his work. Poor fella
Malin Bettels he isn’t underrated at all
@@sovietninja6865 Because you don't think he's that good or because you think he gets enough attention?
Malin Bettels I think he’s amazing. I’m saying he’s not underrated for a reason. He gets the praise and recognition. Unless you think he should get the praise like Leonardo or Denzel Washington.
@@sovietninja6865 Well I'm talking about awards and stuff. I know that they don't define how good of an actor you really are but they still play a huge part in the recognition an actor gets. And the Academy have been ignoring Jakes performances over the last years. And because some people don't have much knowledge about film industry they define actors by the awards they received or have been nominated for and Jake stays unrecognised... if that makes sense
Malin Bettels Yeah, I know what you mean now. Yeah he’s underrated when it comes to the academy. They seem to have favorites.
Johnny sins should've been number one.
yeah he can play almost any role
So versatile, so raw, so much satisfaction
I'm dead
He has played every role there is. And always have an explosive ending.
Mr. Rainmaker I agree
The finest actors of this generation (just my opinion)
Leo
Joaquin
Tom Hardy
RDJ
Denzel Washington
Johnny Depp
Jake
Heath Ledger
Mathew McConaughey
Christian Bale
Eddie Redmayne
Heath is not from 2010 to 2019
@@Zick-ThingS-Col ik .....I said "generation"...does not necessarily mean the last decade
You should watch Daniel Day lewis act
rdj ? seriously
Bro cillian murphy???
I insist that this list should be a little more bigger to suit the legends like ,will smith, Morgan Freeman, Johnny Depp, Hugh jackman .......
MORGAN FREEMANNNN
Keanu Reeves
I wouldnt say Morgan Freeman is a good actor though?? Hes cast for his voice if there was a best voice list Morgan would be on top
Only last 10 years tho
@@jakesascension4682 He is tho.
Bryan Cranston a major missing---
For 4 emmy's and an oscar nomination.should have at least been an honourable mention
Heisenfuckingberg.
You're goddamn right
@William Kotheimer yup
William Kotheimer they literally said in the first minute of the video that it is for both movies and series. They totally ignored bryan cranston (not to mention Michael Fassbender)
@@enricoramos6308 its surely true and a bit annoying not to see the actor of such calibre
Sam Rockwell definitely should have been on this list.
Bryce Williams criminal! He’s so underrated!
I was hoping that he at least would get an honorable mention.
Bryce Williams his portrayal of Captain K. should have made him number 1 for sure.
Bryce Williams this is the biggest misstep. Thank you for noticing!
Michael Fassbender deserves a spot here. 12 Years A Slave, Shame, Steve Jobs, Prometheus (say what you will about the film, but he was truly great in it), not to mention essentially carrying the new X-MEN series on his shoulders. Also, even though it's just out of the 2010s, his work in Hunger is absolutely brilliant.
Yea actually!
hell yeah
Steliooooos
And what about Hugh Jackman, Bradd Pitt, George Clooney
Only last 10 yeats
Not gorge clooney
Objectively speaking, regarding both films and performances, no one had a better 2010s than Leonardo Di Caprio.
It's an almost perfect streak:
Shutter Island
Inception
J. Edgar
Django Unchained
The Great Gatsby
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Revenant
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
He should be easily number one in this list, no contest.
Ryan Gosling had an equal filmography if not better
@@shahariarshahed2175 Absolutely not.
Not even close.
Edward Morow Blue Valentine, Drive, Beyond the Pines, The Nice Guys, La La Land, Blade Runner, First Man. It’s definitely close.
I agree
Filmography yes
Performances not
Joaquins performance is in The Master was one of the best in cinema history. And he didnt get the oscar for that because 2 years ago he made a mockumentary.
And he also won Cannes best actor in 2017 for You Were Never Really Here but you are too mainstream to see that probably.
Actors that are above every others(this decade) :
Leonardo DiCaprio,
Joaquin Phoenix,
Jake Gyllenhaal,
Cristian Bale
McConaughey too
I will put Adam Driver too
You gonna leave Tom Hardy !!
I'd narrow it to Leonardo DiCaprio, Joaquin Phoenix, and Christian Bale
@@ROP632 I literally have only seen one movie Joaquin has been in and to be honest he wasn't even close to Heath ledger as the joker he doesn't deserve to be there for one movie in the last decade
Cillian Murphy should have been here,
and that’s by order of the Peaky Blinders
The Peaky fooking Blinders
Interesting fact
My aunt (also my godmother)’s
husband knows Cillian Murphy
But now they’re getting divorced so I guess that’s gone
Every time I went to they’re house he’d ask me if I’d seen the newest movie he was in
I imagine if I met him again he’d say “do you watch peaky blinders?”
Only last 10 years
YES, DAMMIT! Been saying so for years! "The WInd that Shakes the Barley, Sunshine, 28 Days Later, Peacock, Breakfast on Pluto, so MANY more!!! The Scarecrow from Batman! WOW!
Willem Defoe is bloody stiff, always goes under everyone's radar😥❤️
Not this generation
He was Awesome In Togo.
They didn’t mention it but Joaquin was stunning in Her
Her was sooo damn boring tho imo
Of course they didn't, ugh
Her is one of the most bland, boring and nonsensical films i have ever seen
Heisen Berg I love that one
Both written and directed by spike jonze
Her was one of his great performance.
Revenant
Wolf of Wall Street
Django Unchained
Shutter Island
Once Upon a time in Hollywood..
Inception
The Great Gatsby
Seriously how tf r ppl even arguing? That list of films just speaks for itself. Leo is undoubtedly the best actor this decade.
Tanmay Kumar shutter island? One of his best roles too
Kevin Costner starred in "The Untouchables", "Field of Dreams", "Dances With Wolves", and "JFK", but that certainly doesn't make him a great actor alone, so I don't get your logic
@@MorganKing95 Bro, this video is about best actor of the past decade not all time. Whatever movies u said are not of the past decade. So, pls do some thinking and research before u come and say any thing.
Its not about filmography, its about performances.
@@Omerkosar His perfomances were at least as goog as the movie tho
Leonardo Dicaprio, Saoirse Ronan, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Timothée Chalamet, Chris Hemsworth, and Keanu Reeves are a fee of my favorite actors of all time. 💕
Bryan Cranston for his work as Walter White in Breaking Bad didn't even get an honorable mention, just let that sink in.
Jake gyllenhaal is such a insanely good actor deserves more respect from the academy. My fav actor with jack nicholson.
Yes Jake is so underrated
Where's Willem Dafoe?
He should be here
You can’t do this to me...YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IVE SACRIFICED
Yes for Budapest, Florida, Eternity and Lighthouse..
Definitely the biggest snub on the list!
No way! Leo should have been first. He is making top level films since the 90s and he is always giving a good performance!
Decisamente il resumé migliore di tutta la lista
Nah Phoenix is better
Leo will always give a stunning performance since 90's till this decade, Joaquin deserve more spotlight for his work in past 10 years.
Leo has proven himself time and time again. He's definitely earned the number one actor of the generation for me.
No phoenix was definitely first
I’m still trying to find Johnny Depp
Bryan Cranston for his work as Walter White in Breaking Bad didn't even get an honorable mention, just let that sink in.
Gyllenhaal, Bale, Dicaprio, and Pheonix are and will be this century's best actors without a doubt.
Take DiCaprio out and we have a deal. If here we are talking about actual acting skills, just take out DiCaprio. With the rest, I agree.
@@Izaan2810 nah dicaprio should be there in this list.Hey kid go and watch his movies
@@sricharan7730 Nah, not really... Learn what acting is really about, and what is masterclass acting rather than going on Internet and shoving the default comeback of "kid" to everyone who disagrees with you, kid. There are FAR better actors than DiCaprio. Also, stop liking your own comments.
@@Izaan2810 I agree..his roles are all so loud! For me jake gyllenhaal is the best
Missing Names:
Charlize Theron
Jessica Chastain
Keanu Reeves
Eddie Redmayne
Brad Pitt
Benedict Cumberbatch
Matt Damon
Donald Glover (mostly for TV roles)
Elisabeth Moss
Micheal Fassbender
James McAvoy
I feel like nobody appreciates Sandra Bullock
also everyone forgot jhonny depp...y is tht
Tom hanks major missing
Andrew Garfield
Rajesh Sawant Christoph waltz?
Brad Pitt is the coolest guy of the decade
sonu nanotkar and the decade before that.
@@lewiscarter1229 and the decade before that (there's literally no topping Tyler Durden)
There are a few actors on this list that I definitely don't agree with. There are some that I completely agree with. But one name that I was waiting for the whole time, was Michael Fassbender. The fact that he's still so underappreciated is unbelievable to me. He's absolutely brilliant and so incredibly talented. He deserves to be on this list.
Seriously there's a guy know Jhonny Depp, y'all know him
That processing scene in the Master with Joaquin Phoenix is the maybe the best acting I’ve ever seen
Godfather : Am i joke to you?
You havent seen many movies then.
@@OdynFX
You sound like a pretentious douche. The Master is not a well known film to the average person, so why would you jump to the conclusion that they haven't seen a lot of films after they referenced a scene from The Master? That makes absolutely no sense.
Balin Some of us have and “The Master” still deserves the praise. Especially how Phoenix seems like he’s playing 3 or 4 different characters, all down to how the story movies.
And considering it’s a critique on Scientology, and that scene is very much what people are STILL doing today since Scientology is sucking in people.
Seth Rogen?
Hugh Jackman? Michael Fassbender? Samuel L Jackson? Willem Dafoe? Johnny Depp? Keanu Reeves? Where are they all?
Tom Cruise, Ryan Reynolds, EMily blunt.... they missed a lot
And they also missed LeBron James. His acting is so convincing that the refs always help him out.
@@user-cs1ep6jj2o Chadwick boseman
Agree. Some did not even belong on this list which would have had spots for ones you mentioned.
It's only a Top 20 list. They can't put 50 people here.
Didn't even mention Bryan Cranston. The man who not only became the front face of Breaking Bad, won an emmy every season it premiered. And his little role in the 2014 Godzilla scene, I deserve Answers, was phenomenonal. He only takes 1-3 takes to perfect anything. His improv skills speak for itself.
That’s fair but if you want to go down the tv route Cillian Murphy deserved to be here just as much and he’s had a much better record in film over that period too
Johnny Depp should have been on the list for movies like Pirates of the carabian or Fantastic Beasts
He always plays the same role
Leonardo DiCaprio is one of those actors who has been exceptional since a very young age. He did What’s Eating Gilbert Grape when his contemporaries were mainly doing commercial movies or teen sitcoms, didn’t stick onto the ‘romantic’ image after Titanic and definitely experimented a lot with his roles. He got his Oscar nomination when he was only 19 (7th youngest supporting actor nominee), wasn’t afraid to try something different and that has certainly paid off. His smart career choices is a main reason as to why he is one of the leading actors of his generation. Respect.
I remember the basketball dairies's performance where he asks his mother for money ♥️
Finally some love for Jake Gyllenhaal
He is SOOOOO underrated
Dudes an amazing actor
The Best Performances that got snubbed at the Oscars :
Jack Gyllenhaal for "Nightcrawler"
Toni Collette for "Hereditary"
Joaquin Phoenix for "Her"
Florence Pugh for "Midsommar"
Jack Nicholson for "The Shinning"
Christian Bale for "American Psycho"
Malcolm McDowell for "A Clockwork Orange"
Hugh Jackman for "Logan"
Lupita N'yongo for "Us"
Matthew Mcconaughey for "Interstellar"
Jennifer Lawrence for "Mother!"
Vera Farmiga for "The Conjuring"

Jake Gyllenhaal
Joaquin Phoenix
without a doubt Christian Bale is the most prolific actor in this decade
The Fighter
TDKR
American Hustle
Out of the furnace
The Big Short
Hostiles

Ford v Ferrari
Nobody can match his filmography this decade.
Yup
Dark knight
gokul p Menon different decade
The comment I was searching
Ryan Gosling:
Drive
The Big Short
The Nice Guys
La La Land
Only God Forgives
Blade Runner
First Man
The Place Beyond the Pines
Blue Valentine
More range than any other actor this decade. He's nailed roles in dramas, comedies, biopics, crime thrillers and even a musical. Name any other actor with more versatility.
where is Benedict Cumberbatch?
his performance in Sherlock, The Imitation Game and The Avengers(Dr.Stephen Strange) were critically acclaimed
Not to mention August Osage County, 1917, 12 Years a Slave, His many Motion Capture Performances. Etc.
I love him too it's a tough list honestly depends on personal view really
They said no superheroes
As an actor, he had a much more impressive decade than RDJ.
He was bloody brilliant in Patrick Melrose as well.
In my opinion I think that Hugh Jackman, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Samuel L Jackson, James McAvoy, Keanu Reeves, Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, Millie Bobby Brown and Dafnee Keen all deserved a place on this list or at least an honorable mention.
I like that even though Ledger has been dead since 2008 you feel his presence in the 2010's
...And don't forget that guy 'From Dusk til' Dawn' that played 'Sex Machine'!

#1: Tommy Wisseau
You are tearing me apart Lisa!
Joseph Hernandez yes
Joseph Hernandez Yes all the way, Best F(r)iends is a work of art.
@Pratyay Verma Lol 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
In my opinion Joker was a Masterpiece , and Joaquin Phoenix gave absolutely amazing and incredible perfomance and definetly deserves to be among top 3, but c'mon seriously Leo is The Goat
Agreed.
Not really, Leo has the best group of high profile roles this decade, but he can't compete in acting chops with guys like Joaquin Phoenix, DDL or Gary Oldman. Even less known guys like Edward Norton or Jeffrey Wright are superior.
Robert Downey Jr. too, and Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise too. Don't be fooled by the blockbuster crap they have starred in, check their best serious roles and you will see they have serious chops too.
Agreed
It's unfortunate but Ryan gosling's performance in a place beyond the pines outshined every other person. It really was that good that I actually forgot bradley cooper played the cop until this video reminded me. But I will always remember bradley cooper as american sniper.
Watchmojo: we don't care about actors who have big box office records.
Also watchmojo: Robert Downey jr
DOOLITTLE FLOPPED
@@scottbarkley496 let's face it..nobody cares even if he delivers 10 flops after MCU
True, but the movies also got critical praise. Also, they put him dead last anyways.

Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, Toni Colette in Hereditary, Lupita Nyonggo in US - these performances that doesn't even earn an Oscar nom is criminal.
You should have separated actors from actresses and make two different top 20 lists.
Cause skipping such names as Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds, Michael Fassbender, Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Alicia Vicander, Charlize Theron and many many others is nothing but crime.
This list is grrrrreat
Ryan reynolds is nothing compared to the actors in this vid.
Can’t believe Tom Hanks isn’t in this list that’s just disrespectful
they talking about last decade
YES.. EVEN IF THAT WAS THE PAST DECADE.. TOM HANKS
A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, anyone?
W.T.F
Where is jim carrey he played in sonic the hetchhog
How is James McAvoy not on this list? Split, alone, should've gotten him nominated for something.
James is highly underrated indeed
Tom hardy deserves to be ranked higher
Everybody knows he is just starting his career
Michael Fassbender
Matt damon
Keanu reeves
Benedict cumberbatch
Andrew Garfield
Ewan mcgregor

Tom Hanks
Willem Dafoe

KEANU REEVES? HAHHAGAGHAGAGHHHH
@@SuperPatinator margot robbie is already in the list
Toni Colette was absolutely amazing in Hereditary. Her role in Knives Out was also good.
Chadwick Boseman was stellar this decade with
42 (2013)
Get on up (2014)
Marshall (2017)
Black Panther (2018)
21 Bridges (2019)
And Chiwetel Ejiofor was amazing too
How the Hell can you forget Tom Hanks and Hugh Jackman even in honorable mentions
Bryan Cranston for his work as Walter White in Breaking Bad didn't even get an honorable mention, just let that sink in.
yay Jake Gyllenhaal!! I've love him since Brokeback Mountain and so annoyed he doesn't get the love from the public or academy as he
*MICHAEL SHANNON* absolutely deserves to be on this list. I’d say in the top 5.
And Christian Bale should be higher.
Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Keanu Reaves isn't the list!! My god... This is hard
Bryan Cranston for his work as Walter White in Breaking Bad didn't even get an honorable mention, just let that sink in.
Jake Gyllenhaal is probably one of the most underrated actors out there, I know watchmojo included him here but he is constantly never spoken about which is annoying. I think he has great depth as an actor and for me he is probably the Pacino of his generation!
He definitely is..the fact is he's been so versatile,he is gonna have a long career.
Toni Colette should have at least been honorable mention. She is a powerhouse!
Toni Colette is criminally underrated.
But yet we got Brie Larson..
My personal top Hollywood actors in no order:
-Leonardo DiCaprio (versatile and handsome)
-Christian Bale (Not only he play roles but also experiences them/characters)
-Johnny Depp (Most Versatile and Unique without a doubt)
-Bradd Pitt (underrated acting wise)
-Robert Downey jr. ("Mr. Tony Stark")
-Tom Hanks (emotional actor, great voice)
-Morgan Freeman (God-like voice)
-Will Smith (very inspiring actor)
-Tom Cruise (action actor and handsome)
-Joaquin Phoenix (2k19 best actor)
Honourable mentions:
Al Pacino, Robert de Niro, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Sean Penn, and Dustin Hoffman.
Hey reader! Add more names that you prefer.
Tom hardy
Honestly how could they not mention Joaquin Phoenix’s spectacular performance in “Her” which also had Scarlett Johansson and Amy Adams
I think that Christian Bale deserves #1, because he could be in literally every kind of movie
You know who has done that? Gary Oldman. He is the greatest ever (Sid Vicious, Dracula, The Fifth Element, Nobody's Baby, Tiptoes, Leon, Immortal Beloved, Harry Potter series, Dark Knight series, The Book of Eli, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Darkest Hour). He has been in literally every type of movie possible and he always delivers.
Goddamn right.
@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 He is great as well.
No one on the list can do what bale does period.
@@sweetcalamares Jaoquin can.
Glad that mainstream audiences finally started appreciating Joaquin Phoenix as an actor now, pity they missed out most of his top tier performances before Joker. He had the most challenging roles in the past 2 decades that show how wide his acting range is
Like the Master, Gladiator, You Were Never Really Here, Inherent Vice, Walk the Line, Her, etc.
His performance as Johnny Cash in Walk the line was amazing.
It took me so long to realise he was in Gladiator as his accent was so good and seemed so natural!
Can't believe Viola Davis didn't make the list. She's my favorite female actor. And Emma Stone above Tom Hardy?
Lupita is in the list but Viola is not...weird
Denzel Washington, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt would be in my top 20 but still I think this top 20 is solid
This is probably the worst ranked list I’ve ever seen
Pretty much all watchmojo lists are
True
Kane Eagle give us your list then
nice criticism. I'm sure they read this brilliant informative comment and went on to make better videos using the advice you gave
James Hetfield nice comment. I’m sure I’ll take on board ur sarcasm and change the way in which I comment in the future

@@TheGabrielPT I watched he is fine, but nothing surprising, I loved Leo In Revolutionary Road
@@scottbarkley496
Being a big movie star has nothing to do with acting ability. He's a good actor but he's not one of the greatest.
Imagine back a few years and you see a ranked actors list see Daniel Dey Lewis then the guy from hangover ranked over him, still sounds wild writing it
No matter what these three actors should always be toe to toe in comparison , Christian Bale, Joaquin phoenix and Leonardo DiCaprio, these three are rivals and will always be the better actors out in cinema in this current generation, and Watch Mojo, Christian Bale deserves a place in the thumbnail if you put an outrageous video depicting Hollywood's greatest actors
I think both Michael Fassbender & Eddie Redmayne definitely deserved at least a mention on this list
Definitely agree with you on Fassbender, the roles that he has done he has been simply phenomenal. I thought he would have gotten a nod
what about McAvoy?
@@dayoolyngdoh5453 apart from the X-man movies and Split I haven't really seen/heard of him in any other notable films (apart from IT 2 which was a film I didn't really enjoy so I didn't judge performances).

No one appreciates Andrew Lincoln
@@benjafavre7367 What about Andrew Lincoln? Criminal underrated actor, and did an amazing job this decade
Joaquin better be number one. His performance in the Master and Joker are truly unmatched.
Ben Drescher he is
Don’t forget ‘Her’ and ‘You Were Never Really Here’
But I personally think Gyllenhaal and Hardy had the better decade...they gave more phenomenal performances than phoenix..
The Master is his best still.
What a work of art in a human being
Joker was cool but was not the best acting done OVERALL by any means.
Come on leo can take on Joaquin all day everyday of the year 😪😪 ,Leo is simply the greatest actor of modern era🙌..he is marlon Brando of 21st century
There's no way Leo would be able to take on "A Streetcar Named Desire", "Julius Caesar", "On the Waterfront", "The Godfather", "Last Tango in Paris", or "Apocalypse Now", and his influence isn't nearly as big. Not even close!
Bruhh joaquin easily takes over leo in acting though leo is better in film selection, you just choosing leo because of his big banner films
watchmojo: has your favorite actor appered on this list so far. If not he or she might soon
Me who's favorite actor is Chris Farley: Oooh i don't think so
Leonardo DiCaprio must be in the top. He always give us his best in every single role!
If Leo ain’t number 1 then Idk who tf is? Every single movie he acted in was a smash and he dominated in quality and quantity
A movie being a smash doesn't need to have anything to do with acting skills. Of course. Leo is an all time great and his movies are amazing, but I think the reason they picked Joaquin is the fact that he has the ability to make a mediocre films intetesting with his performances
Lebron for president 23 Leo doesn’t have the same versatility as of Joaquin
@@vigneshwarandevanathan2594
Lol im sure Joaquin can't match Leo's performance in wolf of wall street
Monica his performance in The Master is better than Leo’s in WOWS.
Vigneshwaran Devanathan but Joaquin could never play that role because the character has to be likable and I can’t think of a movie Joaquin is in besides maybe Her where he is an actual likeable character
johnny depp, ryan reynolds, tom cruise, hugh jackman???
My list OF ALL TIME!!!
Heath leader(The dark Knight)
Christian Bale(Batman triology)
Benedict( Sherlock)
Leo (inception)
Joaquin(Joker)
Johnny Depp ( pirates)
Daniel Radcliffe ( Harry Potter)
Adrien Brody ( Pianist)
Disclaimer : Sorry marvel fans but I have not watched any marvel movies!!
Let me guess; you've only watched movies from the 21st century
Ledger died in 2008
Joaquín Phoenix the most underrated actor, hopefully he’ll get the Oscar
"Underrated"
He was underrated before...but now after Joker, he is well known for his acting chops by the general public..
For real, I'm glad that mainstream audiences have finally seen how great of an actor he is.
He is not underrated
I guess none of you kids watched Walk The Line
Joaquin killed Joker but I’m sorry everyone knows Leo should have been #1
Exactly, if he didn't the joker, he wouldn't have been number one
And that’s not a shot at Joaquin I think he’s a AMAZING actor
But Leo Legit might be top 5 all time or higher overall period His body of work is unbelievable even by WatchMojos criteria He should have been #1 no question
@@williamfeliciano3859 Yeah I totally agree. What I meant was Leo would be number one and Joaquin would've been number two.
@@gigggiii For me only performance Joaquin in Master is better than all career Leo Dicaprio. Phoenix is in the lever DDL and Marlon brando. But am little upset that they dont mention Philip Seymour Hoffman, who must be number 2 and Willem Dafoe and Denzel Washington.
@@williamfeliciano3859 bale is better than leo
Interesting list you have there
where the hell is Johnny Depp
Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler has to be one of the greatest performances by an actor who didn't get any award. Heck it's a crime that he didn't even get nominated. IMHO he did an equally good job as Joaquin phoenix did in joker.
