23. GARY OLDMAN
Sid & Nancy (1986)

Playing a junkie/murder suspect/punk-rocker is difficult enough. Playing the most famous junkie/murder suspect/punk-rocker of all time — and selling it — is borderline impossible, but Oldman did just that. As Sex Pistol Sid Vicious, the never-nominated Oldman not only looked and sounded the part, but gave us one of the cinema's most haunting portraits of a rock & roll suicide.
