The Nominees Are…
Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
“Bryan Cranston brought Trumbo to life for me. Although I had known the topline events, I didn’t know all the details that make a story and a person so compelling.” — Judith Damin
Matt Damon, The Martian
“A nuanced, dramatic role that – while serious – didn’t take itself so seriously.” — Bridget Petrites
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
“DiCaprio became Hugh Glass.” — Doug Plank
Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
“Jobs is an iconic American figure, and Fassbender’s performance shows his genius and nuance.” — Pablo Rajczyk
Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl
“Eddie Redmayne was INCREDIBLE in this movie. He was able to achieve a sensitivity about this topic that made me feel he became the character.” — Carley Pernokas
Write-In: Michael B. Jordan, Creed
“Michael B. Jordan… was robbed of a nomination. I find it outrageous. He is devoted on all levels and never once breaks character, while managing to make a very difficult role appear effortless. Thrilling stuff. But, alas: #OscarsSoWhite.” — Jarrett Dapier
