They're all good of course, but William H. Macy has had the best showcases for his talents of that group, so you gotta give it to him. But, if the question is a narrower who did the best work this particular year, the answer is Cheadle, who's performance in Hotel Rwanda is frippin' fantastic.
If you want to check out one of Macy's best and least-seen roles, find a copy of "A Slight Case of Murder" (1999) a very funny dark comedy he did with his wife (the wonderful Felicity Huffman). It originally aired on TNT in The States.

I'm developing a HUGE admiration for Felicity Huffman, having seen Sports Night. I will look for that.

Wow holden you sometimes amaze me with you wide variety of movie knowledge.
I think if I treated you all to a screening of Hotel Rwanda before you voted in this poll, there wouldn't be a one of you who'd vote for anybody other than Mr. Don Cheadle.
Not only will he be nominated for Best Actor this year at the Oscars, I think there's a damn good chance he'll win it.

William H. Macy is great, and with his overall body of work I had to give him the edge. But Cheadle's performance in Hotel Rwanda is better than any single thing William H. Macy has done to date....but it's really the first starring role he's had. As a career, Macy has had so many more opportunities to prove himslef - so he's the choice.
But what I'm saying is, if you had just freshly witnessed how amazing Don Cheadle is in Hotel Rwanda and been overwhelmed by the movie ( it is truly overwhelming), you'd have voted for him right then and there.

I've always enjoyed Don Cheadle's work and have been disappointed in the size and scope of his roles. I was reading about Hotel Rwanda on another site earlier this morning and am very excited to see it, even more so now that Holden has recommended it so strongly.
As for the poll... I had to vote for Macy simply b/c of the wide range of roles he's taken.

Now that I've seen Hotel Rwanda and Crash, I'd say the best is definitely Don Cheadle.
But my favorite is still Phillip Seymour Hoffman, his performance in Punch-Drunk Love is hilarious.

Their all great I love Macy in all his roles, Air Force one, Magnolia, and yes he should have been nominated for the Cooler which is a awesome movie.
But my fave is Don cheadle I can watch him in absolutely anything, although I haven't seen Hotel Rwanda yet, but after positive comments I shall be purchasing it.

I don't know if Hoffman is better than the others but he's my favourite.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

It's hard to say better, isn't it?
They're all really good, as far as I'm concerned...but if I had to choose a favorite...
...it would be Macy for me as well.

I voted for Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Not to diss the guy, but I've never seen a Luis Guzman role that stands up to any of the other guys. But. . .I may have missed a really good movie.
