While I won't go out of my way to exclude Oscar-nominated performances, I probably won't include Oscar-winning performances because the general idea here is to highlight supporting roles that were not awarded and this is my way of recognizing their greatness. Often, they come in movies not as famous or not as well received and this accounts for the great performances within being ignored (Charles Grodin's <a href="http://cinemastyles.blogspot.com/2010/12/short-list-charles-grodin.html">hilarious turn</a> in the ill-received <b>Kong</b> remake being a good example).<br /><br />The list will be added to here and, for certain inductees onto <em>The Short List</em>, a short write-up about their performance will be provided on <a href="http://cinemastyles.blogspot.com/">Cinema Styles</a>. New additions will be added to the list regularly.<br /><br /><a href="http://cinemastyles.blogspot.com/2011/02/wanderers-paul-benjamin.html">Paul Benjamin</a> in <strong>Do the Right Thing</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://cinemastyles.blogspot.com/2008/08/come-all-without-come-all-within-youll.html">Len Cariou</a> in <strong>The Four Seasons</strong><br /><br />John Cazale in <strong>Dog Day Afternoon</strong><br /><br />Noel Coward in <strong>Bunny Lake is Missing</strong><br /><br />Sammy Davis, Jr in <strong>Sweet Charity</strong><br /><br />Robert DeNiro in <strong>Bang the Drum Slowly</strong><br /><br />Melvyn Douglas in <strong>Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House</strong><br /><br />Glenda Farrell in <strong>Mystery of the Wax Museum</strong><br /><br />Barry Fitzgerald in <strong>The Catered Affair</strong><br /><br />Nina Foch in <strong>An American in Paris</strong><br /><br />Frederic Forrest in <strong>Apocalypse Now</strong><br /><br />Betty Grable in <strong>The Gay Divorcee</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://cinemastyles.blogspot.com/2010/12/short-list-charles-grodin.html">Charles Grodin</a> in <strong>King Kong</strong><br /><br />Gene Hackman in <strong>Bonnie and Clyde</strong><br /><br />Jean Hagen in <strong>Singin' in the Rain</strong><br /><br />Margaret Hamilton in <strong>The Wizard of Oz</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://cinemastyles.blogspot.com/2011/01/short-list-carol-haney.html">Carol Haney</a> in <strong>The Pajama Game</strong><br /><br />Hal Holbrook in <strong>Capricorn One</strong><br /><br />Stanley Holloway in <strong>My Fair Lady</strong><br /><br />Edward Everett Horton in <strong>Lost Horizon</strong><br /><br />Katie Johnson in <strong>The Ladykillers</strong><br /><br />Jeffrey Jones in <strong>Amadeus</strong><br /><br />Madeline Kahn in <strong>Paper Moon</strong><br /><br />Bert Lahr in<strong> The Wizard of Oz</strong><br /><br />Elsa Lanchester in <strong>The Big Clock</strong><br /><br />Cloris Leachman in <strong>Young Frankenstein</strong><br /><br />Richard Libertini in <strong>The In-Laws</strong><br /><br />Bela Lugosi in <strong>The Body Snatcher</strong><br /><br />Kenneth Mars in <strong>Young Frankenstein</strong><br /><br />Elaine May in <strong>Small Time Crooks</strong><br /><br />Frank Middlemass in <strong>Barry Lyndon</strong><br /><br />Jason Miller in <strong>The Exorcist</strong><br /><br />Dudley Moore in <strong>Foul Play</strong><br /><br />Agnes Moorehead in <strong>The Magnificent Ambersons</strong><br /><br />Maria Ouspenskaya in <strong>The Wolf Man</strong><br /><br />Joe Pantoliano in <strong>Risky Business</strong><br /><br />Richard Pryor in <strong>Silver Streak</strong><br /><br />Douglas Rain in <strong>2001: A Space Odyssey</strong><br /><br />John C.
