The first thing I observe was how much this category favours honouring long working actors.

All I know is J.K Simmons, Brad Pitt, and Daniel Kaluuya 100% deserved their wins and were amongst my favorite performers for those particular years.

It’s not perfect, but that’s actually a really decent group of winners. If only Fassbender/Abdi would have won over Leto…

Simmons, Plummer, Ali and Pitt are iconic wins.

I noticed Jeremy Strong before it was cool! So many riveting performances in The Big Short, must give them all their due.
