Antonio Banderas Role: The wistful Salvador Mollo, an ailing director, reflects on his childhood and worries that he doesn't have much of a future when he's asked to celebrate his breakthrough film from many years earlier. |
Leonardo DiCaprio ONCE UPON A TIME ...IN HOLLYWOOD Role: Rick Dalton, a fading insecure TV star, is excited about Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski moving in next door in the summer of '69 |
Adam Driver Role: Charlie, an avante garde theater director finds his life upended when his wife decides to move to LA and file for divorce. |
Joaquin Phoenix WINNER Role: Arthur, a professional clown with serious mental problems, descends yet further into madness and develops a taste for violence. |
Jonathan Pryce THE TWO POPES Role: Cardinal Bergoglio, a progressive, is surprised that his conservative rival Pope Benedict, wants to resign. But is he ready for the holy job? |
| Who Will Win? | ||||
| JOAQUIN PHOENIX looks to have this locked up delivering a buzzy show-off performance in a billion dollar grosser. Curiously Heath Ledger's previous historic win for this rolee doesn't seem to have hampered him in the slightest. | ||||
| Who Should Win? | ||||
|
It was the tightest acting race poll with readers preferring Antonio Banderas (35%) to Adam Driver (30%) and the eventual winner Joaquin Phoenix wasn't far behind with 27%s.

| Who Got Stiffed? | ||||
| Who didn't? It was a hugely competitive race for these five nominations. Critics tried to rally for ADAM SANDLER (Uncut Gems) at the last minute, TARON EGERTON (Rocketman) had a hit film and a hard-working campaign and EDDIE MURPHY (Dolemite is My Name) was a popular dream nominee back in October but in both cases the Academy was unusually harsh on films that opened before the November/December glut. ROBERT DENIRO (The Irishman) never got traction despite leading a big Oscar player. | ||||
