Commentary - The only two that feel safe are Vance and Cranston, who will probably battle it out for the win. This race was complicated enough for the last four slots, then The Dresser premiered, and it all got thrown for a loop. With those reviews, I don't know how voters pass up the dynamic duo of Anthony Hopkins and Ian McKellen, but that means some pretty big names are left off. Idris Elba won the SAG, and is clearly beloved among the actors. That leaves one slot. I am going with Tom Hiddleston, because The Night Manager is relatively new, and did well with audiences and critics. But what about Oscar Isaac, previous winner Benedict Cumberbatch, Bill Murray, Patrick Wilson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Malachi Kirby, and a nominee from last year Timothy Hutton? Then there is Ben Whishaw, James Norton, the True Detective duo, Kenneth Branagh, James Franco, last year's nominee Michael Kenneth Williams, multiple Emmy winner Tony Shalhoub, Ben Daniels, and Vincent Kartheiser. All of this means that there are way too many contenders for six slots, and this race is far from over.
