But that is just his voice alone. That with a combination of facial expressions and body movements are very important when one should consider a "best performance" by an individual shouldn't it?

J.E. Jones is better in Field of Dreams than his vocal "acting" in the Star Wars flicks. And he's just outstanding in The Great White Hope. Hell, he was better as Thulsa Doom than as Vader's voice.

25th hour is better... But Norton in almost any movie is pure genius.
