AND THE WINNER IS:

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY (DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, MUD, THE WOLF OF WALL STREET)

For the second year in a row McConaughey is the performer of the year with one again varying roles that that are all so completly differen from each other in is hard to remeber it is the same person in each role. In The Wolf of Wall Street with only one scene McConaughey is able to make the one scene such a memorable one in the film as the strange but informative Mark Hanna and McConaughey is able to deliever the wacky dialogue so well is is one of the standouts of the film, in Mud his supporting actor win McConaughey gives a turn on screen that combines both darkness and hear making such a memorable character that is Mud. In Dallas Buyers Club McConaughey gives another transformative performance as the homophobic AIDS filled Ron Woodroof making this deeply offensive man affected by Karma a great center to the film. The transformation alone is quite dark but is is the power and weakness protrayed from scene to scene by McConaughey that shows that he is more then just the pretty person who takes his shirt off.
