That's Han Sanming.  Zhao Tao is the female lead.

Doubt they'll be on my list but I'm surprised Don Cheadle in Hotel Rwanda and Forest Whitaker in Last King of Scotland are on the FYC list.

I thought Cheadle did an excellent job. It's been a while since I saw HR, but I thought he carried the lead role with charisma, something he has been criticized for lacking in the past.

Short list, but ...:

Benicio Del Toro – Che
Casey Affleck - Gone Baby Gone
Christopher Plummer - The Last Station
Eric Bana – Chopper
Guy Pearce – Memento
James McAvoy - The Last Station
Johnny Depp - Pirates of the Caribean
Kevin Bacon – The Woodsman
Michael Sheen - The Damned United
Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler
Noah Taylor – Max
Richard Green – Boxing Day
Viggo Mortensen - Eastern Promises

I am sure to be missing many great performances.
