Commentary - Such a great race brewing this year. I feel pretty confident about Delroy Lindo and Chadwick Boseman, and I think the winner will be one of them. Riz Ahmed is continuing to rise for Sound of Metal. Anthony Hopkins will mostly likely get back to back nominations for The Father. Finally, I am sticking with Gary Oldman, as I feel like industry voters will be high on the film. But many of these guys are vulnerable, and there are lots of contenders waiting to break through. Steven Yeun feels like the upset this year, as does newcomer Kingsley Ben-Adir. Tom Hanks is an Oscar-winning legend, and is excellent in News of the World. Latecomers Lakeith Stanfield, Tom Holland, Denzel Washington, and John David Washington are hoping to ride last minute buzz. Previous nominees/winners like Ben Affleck, Colin Firth, Jude Law and Dev Patel have worthy projects. Newcomers like Adarsh Gourav, Max Harwood, John Magro and Tahar Rahim could make a splash. Finally, Don't discount Winston Duke, Andy Samberg, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Jesse Plemmons, all of who deserve recognition for their great roles.
