Leonardo DiCaprio - The Revenant |
| |
The prognosticators are nearly unanimous: it's Leo's to lose with no clear other front-runner. Unless The Bear takes it. |

Matt Damon - The Martian |
| |
This seems almost ludicrous to me, but it is honestly not a crowded Best Actor race. |

Johnny Depp - Black Mass |
| |
Johnny has gone from 3 to 9 to 3 in our rankings. His candidacy is undulating like the waves in a Pirates movies... |

Michael Fassbender - Steve Jobs |
| |
Despite the dislike of the movie, they just have to give him a nod for the transformative role, no? |
| 5 |
3 |
65 |
Bryan Cranston - Trumbo |
| |
This one is a toss-up. Trumbo is too small a movie but Cranston is an industry insider and the movie is about Hollywood |
| 6 |

60 |
Tom Hanks - Bridge of Spies |
| |
Or it could go to Hanks, who is holding steady on the outskirts of the race. |
| 7 |

50 |
Will Smith - Concussion |
| |
Seemingly about to break through into the top five, the movie was not well received in screenings, and the candidacy has thus stalled. |
| 8 |

45 |
Eddie Redmayne - The Danish Girl |
| |
I still think he has a solid chance, but the movie is going to need some help. |
| 9 |

Michael Caine - Youth |
| |
Voter exasperation at the lack of clarity here could work to his favor. |

35 |
Ian McKellen - Mr. Holmes |
| |
The movie was not well received, but he is definitely overdue. |
