WOKJ's 100 Greatest Performances: Complete!
OK, it's time to do the announcement. I think we have compiled another excellent list, thanks to the following 21 people:
alex young android Chris Shack xiayun trixster Levy yoshue MovieGeek RonBurgundy Price JesusHChrist Mannyisthebest Gullimont Dr. Lecter Jmart007 Positive* Jon kypade Corpse Groucho MadGez
Also an special thanks to Chris for helping promote the project and tabulate the result.
To break the ties, I used the same method as Box did:
1. Compare who has the most top 20 mentions, then top 15, top 10, top 6, top 3, and finally top 1; 2. If the distribution is the same, I'll compare who has the highest ranking (e.g. No. 4 vs. No. 6) and go downward.
If the distributions of individual rankings are completely the same, we'll declare them a tie, and we have two such cases.
Now, the first entry of our greatest performances...
Complete List 100. James Stewart, It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and Jean Reno, Leon: The Professional (1994) 99. Meryl Streep, Sophie's Choice (1982) 98. Jack Nicholson, Batman (1989) 97.

Re: WOKJ's 100 Greatest Performances: Live!
Very tight race for the final spot: there are 3 other performances with the same point but didn't get enough top 20 support.
