I’m happy for Tom cruise. If it were up to me i’d give him the oscar. he’s turning 60 soon, has an accomplished career as an actor and well he is a legend. The field is so weak, farell and butler will be first time nominees and a welcome to the club kinda of thing. Fraser will not win on a first nom, what has he done in his career that deserve an oscar? He’s no thespian. If chastain won last year then give it to cruise this time.

Do you think these are lifetime achievement awards? It was boring enough when they gave it to Will Smith for being “due,” we don’t need to do it again.

This has to be the weakest Best Actor race in recent memory.

I would love if some international actors burst through just to make things more interesting.

Diego Calva is on the same level as Leonardo Dicaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street and if he was already in the industry he would have a chance of winning.

Austin Butler singing Unchained Melody at the end is his Oscar scene. The whole cinema cried like babies. He ate and devoured all his competition. He absolutely shocked me. ❤

Taken as a group, can anyone recall a year with a weaker field for Best Actor nominees?

blood diamond was the exception.
