I agree with all the one's I've seen - especially the Zodiac and Knocked Up mentions. To add onto that.....
Richard Gere - The Hoax
Rose McGowan - Grindhouse
Joseph Gordon-Levitt - The Lookout
John Cusack - 1408
Emile Hirsch - Alpha Dog

The best performance of the year is Keri Russell in Waitress, easily. I'd like her to get some award consideration.
The entire cast of Knocked Up and Chris Cooper in Breach are also standouts.

It has some very, very good moments but cannot reach overall excellence due to Ethan Hawke's uneven writing/direction. I gave it a B+.
