The 20 Best Performances of 2010

No. 6. Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit

True Grit is a very good movie, but an overrated one. It’s a well-done Western, but one of the most best movies of the year? Puh-lease. But young Hailee Steinfeld’s mature, put-them-in-their-place performance is one for the ages. When yours is the most notable performance among a cast that includes Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, you did something really right.
