My last five best actor winners are a pretty interesting group. From a subtle performance of grief from Casey Affleck to a hilariously disgusting performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, I don't think you could say any one of these performances is like another? Logan Lerman's Charlie is an introvert trying to recover from a childhood trauma that he can't remember. Jacob Tremblay's brilliantly wide-eyed performance as a kid seeing the world for the first time couldn't be anymore different than Michael Keaton's Birdman.
No matter what, they were all my picks for the best leading male performances of the year. Who will join them this year? Timmy Chalamet? Sebastian Stan? James Franco? Daniel Kaluuya? Daniel Day-Lewis? I can tell you that Oscar frontrunner Gary Oldman will not be winning this prize. I'm sure he is sad about it.

2016: Casey Affleck as Lee Chandler in Manchester by the Sea
2015: Jacob Tremblay as Jack in Room
2014: Michael Keaton as Riggan in Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
