5. Joaquin Phoenix, Walk the Line
Based on two autobiographies by Johnny Cash, this biographical drama directed by James Mangold focusses on the pivotal moments of the famous singer, as he rose to stardom, became a known name in country music, and faced drug addiction. Phoenix offers a compelling performance, perfecting Cash’s drawl, and singing the songs himself. He was also nominated for an Oscar.
