They both play creepy roles, but in very different ways.
Bardem plays a balls-to-the-wall psycho, an almost supernatural machine, and he plays it with unbelievable power. You can see the sheer insanity on his face when he strangles that officer in the beginning. He was excellent in this.
However, Casey really gave a draining performance as Robert Ford, in which he starts out as a boy, searching for a way to meet his childhood idol, Jesse James. The search becomes an obsession, and when he finds him, he is such a creeper that Jesse himself starts getting nervous. Eventually, he becomes so obssessed with the outlaw that he believs the only way to level him is to murder him. And he does.

Either one is worthy, but, to be quite honest, I think Casey's role was a tad more worthy. THis being said, I'd be happy to see Bardem win.

ah, i didn't see this one either! i heard great things, but never got to check it out. who would have thought casey affleck would have turned out to be such a good actor, though?
