Today's Rijo goes to Frank Langella's portrayal of Nixon in Frost/Nixon. After living in the role for the last few years in the stage play of the same name–much like Richard Griffiths in Alan Bennett's The History Boys–Langella owns his character. You almost forget it's him behind Nixon's false nose and bushy brow. Unlike Griffiths, though, the Best Actor Oscar appears to be Langella's to lose (in my opinion).
