Live Poll: The Most Intense Oscar Winning Portrayal of a Real Musician

Intro:

Over the years several actors successfully portrayed musicians that really lived by playing thems in biographical movies. Some were so good that they received an Oscar for their role.

Which of these portrayals touched you the most?

Tell us here.

Suggestions:

Only suggestions about real existing or dead musicians, biographys and the role must be awarded by the Academy (Oscars). No fictional musicians, but portrayals of a real musician under different name ok. (inspired by the biography of ...) If it turns out that there are too less suggestions, I will make a very fine face-off of it.

@Jessica 

Thank you very much, Jessica. I knew about Reese Witherspoon, but left her out, because she wasn't in the lead role. I guess I go back from face-off and do a larger list. :D Thank you for the input.

Thanks, Breu. I don't think there are any more than these, but maybe others will know.

A few more typos:

#4: Freddie Mercury

#5, #6: life

Freddie is now happy with ie.

#5 & #6 corrected. I don't know why I wrote life with v in those 2 options. I didn't do that in the other option. Must have been some kind of absent-mindedness. Thank you for pointing out.

Another good poll, Breu! : )

May I suggest a few edits to the intro?
