Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a 2003 Film

Nominees for the Fourth Annual Cosmique Movie Awards

Awarded to the actor deemed by Cosmo voters to have achieved the best performance in a supporting role an eligible 2003 film. Cosmo voters must carefully decide whether the performance was in a leading or supporting capacity. It is theoretically possible for an actor to be nominated in both leading and supporting categories for the same performance if the Academy voters seem divided about their interpretation of the role (as they did with Richard Gere in Chicago).
