Misery currently edges A Few Good Men 52–48
Same director, opposite genres. Voters genuinely can't pick.
The Verdict Director's Cut
Reiner directed two of the most iconic acting performances of the early nineties, and the bracket can't decide which one he served better. Nicholson built Jessup from arrogance and entitlement; Bates built Annie from loneliness and conviction. The split reveals which performance people find harder to shake — the one that makes you want to stand up or the one that makes you want to lock the door.
