Daniel Kaluuya…..I saw Judas & the Black Messiah last Saturday and then saw The Little Things on Sunday. Kaluuya does a great job but is a lead actor. Jared Leto is truly a supporting actor and also does a great job. Too bad he may miss out on a nomination due to category fraud.

I voted Kaluuya. I don’t consider Sacha Baron Cohen or Viola Davis category frauds but I do also see Maria Bakalova as a category fraud.

But the real answer for me here is the entire four person cast of <i>One Night in Miami</i>. They each hold a similar amount of weight to the story and each of them felt just as prominent as the other. They all either should have competed in supporting or all in lead.

FYC:

"The Good Fight", "The Other Two" and "Station Eleven" in all categories, Sarah Lancashire ("Julia"), William Jackson Harper ("Love Life") and Luke Kirby ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel")

Viola Davis is co-lead so she’s not category fraud.

My vote is Daniel Kaluuya

Kaluuya is definitely co-lead and there’s several moments where he actually feels more lead than Lakeith.

Kaluuya is category fraud, but not as egregious as previous winners like Brad Pitt and Mahershala Ali.

I vote for Bakalova because she would be safer for a nomination if she was campaigning in lead.
