This category looks pretty fair for me.

I liked all of these very much. Voted for Wilkinson as the slightly less outstanding, somewhat hammy, performance out of a good batch.

I liked Philip Seymour Hoffman in 'Charlie Wilson's War' quite a bit. It's probably my favorite performance of his. He does exactly what he's supposed to do. It's the quintessential P.S. Hoffman role. I'd rather he do this than 'Capote' or 'Before the Devil...' any day.
Tom Wilkinson barely rises to the task and creates a mumbling miasma of mutterings that he's above. He's all right, but too hammy for my taste. And I didn't buy him as a genius or as a colleague.

I know you didn't say he was Oscar-worthy, but a lot of voters apparently felt he was. I thought he was entertaining in Charlie Wilson's War, but the idea of it as an Oscar-nominated performance doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Well, to be fair, I said that he was the best thing about the movie, not "Oscar-worthy". It's certainly Oscar-nomination worthy, though. His first scene in his boss' office at the CIA alone is worth the nomination.

I never saw the other two movies, but if a stand-up act like his performance in Charlie Wilson's War is Oscar-worthy, then I think the definition of the term Oscar-worthy is in need of re-examination.

With three great performances this year, I'll echo someone else in saying that it would've been lame for Hoffman not to show up somewhere. I prefer his work in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, but he was the absolute best thing about Charlie Wilson's War.
