13 amazing performances that won't be winning any awards

December 21, 2010 ι Jarett Wieselman

Like everyone else with HTML capabilities, we're going to be spending a lot of time over the next two weeks reflecting and ranking the best and worst 2010 had to offer. And while we're of the mind that Natalie Portman's performance in "Black Swan" was far and away one of the year's best, so is everyone else.

In fact, it occurred to us that there were a slew of stars who had delivered absolutely amazing work this year yet would most likely never receive an award because of it. A fact we'd like to rectify.

To that end, we've gathered up the 13 performances -- from the big screen, small screen and stage -- that left our jaws on the floor and our hands reaching for the rewind button.
