Eddie Redmayne Wins Best Actor At The 2015 Oscars 

Top 3 would be: Jake Gyllenhaal for Nightcrawler was by far the best. Ralph Fiennes for The Grand Budapest Hotel made the movie what is was more so than the screenplay (which got nominated). Channing Tatum for Foxcatcher was the best out of the three main actors and didn't get a nomination. That fact that none of those performances were nominated says a lot about the Academy.

I think the subtleties of Ralph Fiennes in GBH should put him up there...

I think it's a travesty that Rosamund Pike isn't winning best actress. Julianne Moore has been looked over by the Academy too often, and deserves an oscar, but I wish it were another year that they were going to give her the "here's one for all of the times you should've gotten it" award. As far as best performance goes, the subtlety of Rosamund Pike's was both chilling, and astoundingly good.

I can't have a lot of respect for an actor who is type casted like Michael Keaton. Eddie Redmayne put in A LOT more work in to his role than Keaton did and that is why he truly deserved the award.

Will Win-Eddie Redmayne Should Win-Micheal Keaton Dark Horse-Bradley Cooper

Since Gyllenhaal got snubbed I am rooting for Cumberbatch, he gave a great performance though it would also be ok if Keaton won.

everyone's forgotten about Timothy Spall

I have spent the last six weeks pondering about the Academy Awards trying to come up with a rational reason why certain contenders weren't nominated. Many disappointing omissions (Jake Gyllenhaal for Nightcrawer and Jessica Chastain - A Most Violent Year in particular). But arguably the biggest and most surprising one was David Oyelowo for Selma. He fitted the Oscar checklist and seemed set to get his first nomination. Finally after all this time I have a logical answer for why he was snubbed (It's nothing to do with racism). Instead it is simply because if they had nominated Oyelowo over Cooper (The surprise nominee) then all five actors would have been first-time nominees. Now while that may sound silly initially, if you look back throughout the history of the Oscars, every single year since 1934 there has been at least one nominee who was previously nominated for an Academy Award (In the past 25 years it averages at least 2-3 of the nominees have been nominated previously). It is simply an Oscar tradition much like the general rule that in order a film to win Best Picture it must have a Best Film Editing nomination (since 1981 at least)

This was the only Oscar I was predicting / rooting for. Eddie Redmayne was phenomenal!

My vote: 1. Gyllenhaal 2. Cooper 3. Keaton 4. Fiennes Haven't seen the others' movies yet

Redmayne will win, Gyellenhal was the best performance period but of the ones nominated I think Carrell and Cooper had the best perfomances Birdman was the best movie.

Pulling for Michael Keaton

those 3 best actor performances and Ralph Fiennes in GBH were all better than the majority of the nominees...

Matthew McConaughey continued to build on his run and was sensational in Interstellar. I think he showed range and commitment to a script that had some flaws and he managed to pull of an Oscar worthy performance easily in my book, so I think he deserved at least a nomination. I agree in terms of who isn't nominated Gyllenhall should be a contender as well. I also think Ben Affleck did a career best performance in Gone Girl, a really interesting casting choice by Fincher who always delivers in quality of his actor's performances. That said, of the ones nominated, Redmayne is the safe bet and the one to win, yet I wouldn't mind seeing Carrell or Keaton get it. Cooper's time will come. If I could give it to anyone, it'd be Affleck for Gone Girl or McConaughey for Interstellar

"you get the gigs that you get"

Ralph Fiennes. OH WAIT THIS WHOLE THING IS A FUCKING SHAM.

love the nightcrawler and locke love i have to agree 100%

Shout out to the "I Wanna Marry Ryan Banks" promo.

Never go full creepy. LOL. Star 80 reference!

People who deserve to be there instead of Bradley Cooper: Miles Teller, Oyelowo, Gyllenhaal, Andy Serkins. I´m sure I can think of more if I try to remember. American Sniper is also the owrst film of the bunch. I´m glad that at least they won´t win. My favorite film is Whiplash btw.

I hope Keaton gets it. Redmayne was really good, but the performance and the movie in general was so oscar-bait it was distracting.

What happened to Better Call Saul Episode 3 review?

for me it should be Keaton no question (Redmayne was really good but Keaton was just incredible)

Holy crap. Forgot about Hardy in Locke.

Joaquin Phoenix and David Oyelowo were both fantastic and should have been nominated.

Don't they say that Keaton couldn't be more different from Thomson?

Redmayne has it though I personally hope for Keaton. Though Jake Gyllanhall should have been nominated/won... Ah well, with the choices I have Keaton all the way.

Fiennes should've got nominated for The Grand Budapest Hotel. I'm sorry, but no matter how political relevant Alan Turing or Chris Kyle are as people, Fiennes acting performance stands out in a stylistic film and delivers one of the best comic performances in the last 10 years.

hardy was phenomenal

I think Steve Carell will win for playing John Eleuthére du Pont in the motion Picture Foxcatcher. It contains graphic photage.

Oyelowo shoukd be there instead of Cumberbatch

I'll be happy if Keaton or Redmayne win. I don't think Cumberbatch or Carell stand a chance (I do love both actors). As much as I love Bradley Cooper, I do not want him to win and I honestly liked his performance more in Guardians of the Galaxy. If he does win, I will not be happy. Gyllenhaal and Oyelowo should have been nominated.

Wtf Ben? What do you have against Magic Realism? My vote's for Keaton!

where is better call saul ep 3?

3:00 is he rapping? lol

t. hardy should've been nominated but gyllenhall is still tepid in anything

I hope that KHAAAAAANNNN!!! wins for best actor.

Am I the only one that thinks Carrel had the best performance out of these 5?

Best actor of the year: Keanu Reeves in John Wick.

Bibs shirt is phenomenal

Deep down I have a feeling that Bradley might win😂😂😂 the oscars has been unpredictable this year. I really don't know anymore.

meh the oscars. snoooze. and Ben is right yet again when it comes to TV. Episodes is very funny, just recently got into it.

just trying to actually think of an outstanding bradley performance ...... i'm all out of ideas man

Ben get off your phone!!!

where is the better call saul review??? where is the its walking dead review?? where is deh fuckin girls review? guys i love you but pls, you killin me

please stop saying handicapped, here in the uk its disabled, handicapped is quite offensive

Take away Steve Carrell with his bulbous nose (wow, look at the fake nose....he must be a good actor) and put in Tom Hardy in his stead. Am I too late to suggest that? :)

Bradley Cooper needs to stop with the botox and fillers if he wants to keep getting Oscar nominations. He's starting to look cartoonish. And, Margin Call was such a great movie.

Birdman is overrated.

Since Gyllenhaal got snubbed I am rooting for Cumberbatch, he gave a great performance though it would also be ok if Keaton won.
