| READER'S POLL - VOTE DAILY | ||||
HOW'D THEY GET NOMINATED? |
||||
WHO WAS SHUT OUT? |
||||
| Judging by precursor season Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams), George Clooney (Jay Kelly), Jesse Plemons (Bugonia), and my beloved Lee Byung Hun (No Other Choice) the latter of which ABSOLUTELY should have been here have the most to complain about on the outside looking in. But this quintet solidified quickly | ||||
WHO WILL WIN? |
||||
| It looks like a race between the very young (for Oscar) legend-in-the-making star turn from Timothee Chalamet (Marty Supreme) and a career coronation for enduring and talented Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon) with his third acting nomination (and fifth overall). | ||||
WHO SHOULD WIN? |
||||
| At this writing Chalamet would have my vote but my own ballot looks quite a bit different. | ||||
