Casey Affleck - Manchester by the Sea |
| |
The movie is a slow burn and it is perhaps too difficult for some to swallow, but this is a relatively weak category this year. |

80 |
Ryan Gosling - La La Land |
| |
Though Ryan is hardly the strongest part of the film, strong coattails could carry him to a nomination. |

Joel Edgerton - Loving |
| |
Again, not the strongest part of his film, which is buoyed by a stronger female performance, but it is possible if Loving gets in for BP. |

Miles Teller - Bleed for This |
| |
Could this be the first time in years where only one of the Best Actor nominees is in a Best Picture nominee? |

Tom Hanks - Sully |
| |
It's not as if Hanks hasn't played this role 50 times and it's not like he's not been alternatively snubbed and nominated 50 times, it's always silly to discard him. |

Denzel Washington - Fences* |
| |
I haven't seen the film but early word is strong. Last Director to direct himself to a Best Actor Oscar? Never happened. |
