Leonardo DiCaprio - The Revenant |
| |
It feels foolish to predict someone in a movie no one has seen, but the weak field this year justifies it. The "he's due" narrative may carry him through. |

Michael Fassbender - Steve Jobs |
| |
Playing the maligned Steve Jobs in a maligned movie has really hurt Fassbender's chances. |

Bryan Cranston - Trumbo |
| |
If the movie gets seen, he will get in easily. His performance stands out heads and shoulders above the rest of the film. |

Matt Damon - The Martian |
| |
If The Martian sweeps in to a Best Picture nomination, as seems likely, Damon is almost guaranteed a spot. |

Eddie Redmayne - The Danish Girl |
| |
The movie may face resistance because of the subject-matter, but I continue to believe in his emotionally touching performance. |

Tom Hanks - Bridge of Spies |
| |
Hanks plays, once more, the tried and true American defender of American values, but we are quickly running out of choices. |

Michael Caine - Youth |
| |
The movie seems to have faded from the conversation, but its upcoming release may change that. |

Geza Rohrig - Son of Saul |
| |
Sony is reportedly going all out for this film and pushing it in all major categories. This is a sleeper dark horse if there ever was one. |

Johnny Depp - Black Mass |
| |
This one is fading quickly, and Depp is in Deep trouble. |

Will Smith - Concussion |
| |
If the movie does well, he could sneak in. |
