    Match Cut's "Performance of the 2010s" - A MC Tourney - The FYC Stage

    Simple enough, we need to figure out what the best performance of the decade is...

    But first the brainstorming stage. We need at least 32 performances to advance... Any kind... Movie, TV, lead, supporting, animated...

    Utilize this thread to brainstorm, organize your lists, share your considerations... Debate.

    Coming soon will be the official nomination and bracket page.

    Might be a proper FYC post coming later when I thought more about it, but for now right the top off my head, it would be hard to top Marion Cotillard in Two Days, One Night as my favorite of the decade.

    Midnight Run (1988) - 9
    The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) - 8.5
    The Adventures of Robinhood (1938) - 8
    Sisters (1973) - 6.5
    Shin Godzilla (2016) - 7.5

    The eulogy episode alone is worthy of his nomination.

    That episode even gives grounds to win it all.

    Thanks for including season. Some of these I'm not sure of.

    I'll put together the remaining years for myself and start assembling.
