Oscars 2015: Best Actor
Second on this Oscar blog, is the Best Actor category, which features some brilliant performances, particularly from the two British representatives, Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne (Or benedict XCuebrvatch and Eddie Redmaybe, as the Guardian call them*) portraying the iconic Alan Turing and Stephen Hawking respectively. In terms of bookies favourite,
Michael Keaton is top of the list for this years gong, for his portrayal of Riggan Thompson in
Birdman. In terms of my own particular choice, it's hard to shy away from
Eddie Redmayne, whose transformative performance as Stephen Hawking in
The Theory of Everything is just a wonder to behold, and after winning the Golden Globe, where for the last three years the winner has gone on to win the Oscar, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him lift the golden guy next month. In the category of "overlooked", is
Ralph Fiennes in
The Grand Budapest Hotel, Brendan Gleeson in
Calvary, and unbelievably
Jake Gyllenhaal, for both
Enemy and
Nightcrawler. Don't worry Jake, I thing you're fab. Anyway, we have:
Benedict Cumberbatch - The Imitation Game
Bradley Cooper - American Sniper
Eddie Redmayne - The Theory of Everything
Michael Keaton - Birdman
Steve Carell - Foxcatcher
Next... Best Actress
