Forrest Whitaker's Idi Amin from Last King of Scotland should be in this discussion, too. He earned every bit of that Oscar.
I was uncomfortable as hell through that whole movie because of his performance.

He's such an intense actor - when he wants to be - if you watch his guest role in The Shield (as IAD Lieutenant Cavanaugh) - where he is like Captain Ahab hunting the Strike Team, or even in a single scene like in The Color of Money - he brought an intensity to a bit part (much as his younger self did in Fast Times) that was incredible.
Then you have his comedic role in Good Morning Vietnam - now, for whatever reason, everybody brought their "A" game, whoever cast that one should have gotten some awards. Why he didn't get more work is beyond me.
(Bird is another one - I don't care for the film, but Whitaker is amazing in it.)
But, Last King of Scotland is the one for which he'll be remembered.
