Poll: Oscar Winners at the Age of 30

A poll by ElMaruecan82
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of our favorite website and following the previous "nominees" poll, here are the 11 performances that earned their actors an Oscar win on the year of their 30th birthday.

Which of these performances (ranked chronologically) would you consider your favorite?

After the vote, you might discuss the list here (oh, and the * refers to a supporting role)

As usual, the age 30 applies to the year of the ceremony, regardless of the actor's actual birthday. The late Heath Ledger isn't included, this has actually nothing to do with the popularity of his performance as the Joker but like James Dean in the first 2015 poll, posthumous performances aren't taken into consideration less for technical reasons than because it would trivialize the tragedy of their deaths.
