LOOK, I THINK ABOUT THIS A LOT.
Best Performance in a Shitty Movie? FF:RotSS
Best Shirtless Performance? WYN
Best Performance in an Elevator? Actually, fuck, this one is harder than it looks. Winter Soldier has the edge. BARELY.
Best Performance to Defeat Anhedonia? Teardrop Diamond
I maintain that's Chris Evans' finest role. FIGHT ME.
To be fair, I'm mostly kidding, though I have HUGE love for how willing he is to play the total tool that's Lucas Lee.
I've never watched Push, and if I get some damn free time, I need to rectify that.
Though I am inordinately fond of him as Cap, at least in the films not directed by Joss, because the man does not understand Cap on a fundamental level.
A rematch of the Scott Pilgrim battle, perhaps?

I will fight you, if only because "Likin' the angle of the dangle?" is comedy GOLD.
I could not make it through Teardrop Diamond because dear gods that was terrible.
OH! I forgot Best Bearded Role which has to go to
Snowpiercer
Tep, I'm not sure how people without my highly specific narrative and visual kinks react to
Push
but it's one of my active fandoms and I really didn't mean for it to be but it sort of hit a lot of my buttons and may have unearthed some new ones.
What's the runner-up?
The motherfucking Losers!

IT IS SO SINCERELY TENNESSEE WILLIAMS AND IS CAMPTASTIC GOLD!
(Not that Teardrop Diamond isn't terrible: it's just a very specific sort of terrible that I find utterly charming and that makes me nostalgic for the intentionally overwrought high school readings of Tennesse Williams plays we'd do at lunch. It made me adore BDH.)
Probable Threepeat: I also have a list of Worsts. Including Worst Performance in a Movie with Scarlett Johansson! (Let's just say no one should ever sit through
The Perfect Score.)

Which I get! But CEvan's Serious Acting is slightly not my beautiful cake, and combined with my low tolerance for TW, it made TD just painful for me.
However, I do like Push very much.
I have SUCH a high tolerance for Tennesse Williams.
It helps that we (Gwyn & I) watched it after watching
The Perfect Score
and
Cellular
which are horrible, horrible movies.
Though at least
Cellular
has Surprise!Richard Burgi.
