    A lot of times, the best performance in a movie only lasts a few minutes. In fact, sometimes the actors are SO good in these small roles, they actually win Oscars — for example, Anne Hathaway in Les Misérables, whose onscreen time was about 15 minutes. (She won for Best Supporting Actress, for the record.)

    So, I wanna know. Which actor do you think had a big impact on a particular scene or movie despite having a relatively small role in the overall film, and basically stole the show?

    Like, maybe you're obsessed with Drew Barrymore's iconic turn as Casey Becker in Scream, and think it's the best part of the movie?

    Or, perhaps, you always think of Kathy Lamkin as the Desert Aire manager in No Country for Old Men because her no-shits-given performance shook not just you but Anton Chigurh, too.

    Maybe you loved Lil Rel Howery as Rod Williams in Get Out and found yourself cheering with relief when he showed up at the end of the film?!
