8. Introducing Dr. Michael Burry in The Big Short with quirky brilliance (2015)

In The Big Short (2015), Christian Bale portrayed Michael Burry, an odd hedge fund manager who foretold the 2008 financial crisis. A glass eye and offbeat personality characterized the performance by Bale, which was likable yet unsettling at the same time. His Burry was obsessed with numbers and completely disregarded social norms; it just seemed so true, demonstrating Bale's ability to be both silly and serious. Another Academy Award nomination was received from this role and another great character to his credits.
