In the same spirit as the Ray Charles/Jamie Foxx thread, I'm making one for Johnny Cash and Joaquin Phoenix. Why? Because I think Phoenix did a great job covering Cash in the movie, and I was very surprised. When I heard he did the singing also, I was even more impressed.

I have no idea how long it took him to learn the song so well, or how many times he tried and failed at singing, but I think he nailed it.
