Best Actor Nominee: Who Won the Award in 2017? A blog about Nominees from past and present and who won the award and why.

The Oscars are coming to a close, this year with a lot of buzz around the Best Actor category. As you may have heard, this year’s Oscar nominees in the Best Actor category include Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp. While there is no clear frontrunner among them (and I doubt any would be surprised if DiCaprio took home his first Oscar for The Revenant), there are some interesting subplots to consider when it comes to predicting their Oscar chances.

For starters, I think it’s important to note that we don’t yet know how many nominations each actor will receive from last year. With that out of the way, here is my prediction on who will be nominated for Best Actor in 2016:

Leonardo DiCaprio – The Revenant

Tom Hanks – Bridge of Spies

Matt Damon – Manchester by the Sea

Johnny Depp – Black Mass

The Revenant is an adaptation of Michael Punke’s novel of the same name. In it, DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, a legendary frontiersman who is left for dead

Last year was a remarkable year for actors in the film industry. Even though the majority of nominated films were foreign, such as “Moonlight” and “Manchester by the Sea,” there were still plenty of opportunities to show off new talent. So who won this major award?

The winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role went to Casey Affleck in “Manchester by the Sea.” He was up against some really tough competition: Denzel Washington, Ryan Gosling, Viggo Mortensen, and Andrew Garfield. All of these actors gave extraordinary performances that could have easily won them an Oscar. This was especially true in Washington’s case because his role as Troy Maxson from “Fences” will be remembered as one of the best performances ever given on screen. However, when it came down to it, Affleck had everything going for him: great chemistry with Michelle Williams (who played his wife), a believable portrayal of grief and loss after losing both parents within two years of each other (which mirrored real life circumstances), and excellent direction from Kenneth Lonergan; all these factors led Academy voters to choose him over any other actor.

The Academy Awards bestow the most prestigious awards in the film industry each year. One of the most coveted awards is that of Best Actor. For several years, it seemed as if Leonardo DiCaprio was going to be the Susan Lucci of the Oscars. He had been nominated for an Oscar many times, but he never won anything. Finally, in 2016, he finally took home a trophy for his role in The Revenant.

So who will take home the award in 2017? The nominees are as follows:

Casey Affleck for Manchester By The Sea

Andrew Garfield for Hacksaw Ridge

Ryan Gosling for La La Land

Viggo Mortensen for Captain Fantastic

Denzel Washington for Fences

Who will win? Who should win? These are tough questions to answer. Everyone has their own favorite films and actors so it’s difficult to say who should win based upon performance alone. It’s not just about who gives the best performance; it’s also about who gives the most memorable one and that’s certainly subjective. In fact, a lot of people think that Andrew Garfield should have been nominated instead of Denzel Washington.

The first Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role was given to Emil Jannings for his performances in The Last Command and The Way of All Flesh. As of the 89th Academy Awards, Casey Affleck is the most recent winner in this category for his role as Lee Chandler in Manchester by the Sea.

He had also been nominated for the same role since 2013. For his film performance as Harvey Milk in the biopic Milk, Sean Penn became the first male actor to win two acting Oscars. In 2009, Anthony Hopkins became the oldest actor ever to win an Oscar with his win at age 81 for his portrayal of John Nash in A Beautiful Mind.

In 2001, Denzel Washington received his second Oscar, becoming the second black actor to receive two Academy Awards and the first African-American actor to receive Best Actor after Sidney Poitier’s 1963 win for Lilies of the Field.

Who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for 2017? We have all the past winners and nominees for each year.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been giving out Oscars since 1929. This is a list of all the Best Supporting Actor Nominees from previous Academy Awards shows and the winner in each category is highlighted.

This year the best actor nominees are:

1) Casey Affleck – Manchester by the Sea

2) Andrew Garfield – Hacksaw Ridge

3) Ryan Gosling – La La Land

4) Viggo Mortensen – Captain Fantastic

5) Denzel Washington – Fences

The 2017 Academy Awards nominees have been announced, but who are the actors that have the best chance of winning an Oscar? Our film experts have analyzed the nominees in each of the four major categories: Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor, and Best Actress.

Best Supporting Actor

The supporting actor is traditionally a role for older men, and this year’s nominees are no different. In fact, at 69 years old, Dev Patel might be considered the “young man” in this category. The oldest nominee ever was Christopher Plummer at age 82.

Best Supporting Actress

Like the supporting actor category, it’s not unusual for older actresses to be nominated in this category. And with Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer both nominated this year, they join an impressive list of past winners that include Cicely Tyson (age 88) and Gloria Stuart (age 87).

Best Actor

There are three clear front-runners in this category: Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea), Denzel Washington (Fences) and Ryan Gosling (La La Land). Affleck is having a fantastic year, winning many critics’ awards for his performance as a grieving father trying to reconnect with his family after his brother’s tragic death. Washington has already won two Oscars
