BEST ACTOR:

Joaquin Phoenix > Daniel Day-Lewis > Jean Dujardin > Casey Affleck > Matthew McConaughey > Adam Driver > Leonardo DiCaprio > Eddie Redmayne > Colin Firth > Rami Malek

Kinda scared to admit that I absolutely loved Joker and Phoenix in it at the risk of being termed as a pathetic Joker stan by some elitists here Overall, a group of some amazing performances. I don't hate any of these although there could've been some better choices than Malek last year. Also, had Leo won for WOWS, he'd have been my #1 for sure. 

BEST ACTRESS:

Brie Larson > Frances MacDormand > Emma Stone > Julianne Moore > Olivia Colman > Cate Blanchett > Natalie Portman > Scarlett Johansson > Jennifer Lawrence > Meryl Streep > Renee Zellweger

It's been 5 years since Room and Brie's performance as Ma still breaks my heart. Everything about the film is very special to me and I'll always be one of its biggest fan. Another amazing group, with not a single undeserving performance. Renee's film takes her down a bit but she's pretty damn good.

BEST S. ACTOR:

Al Pacino = Joe Pesci > Christoph Waltz > J.K. Simmons > Mark Rylance > Christian Bale > Jared Leto > Sam Rockwell > Brad Pitt > Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)

*praying for one of those Irishman guys to win* But yeah, some fantastic performances and some really good ones, although I would never understand what Ali did in Moonlight to warrant a nomination let alone a win. Same is the case for half of the winners in the next category.

BEST S. ACTRESS:

Anne Hathaway > Alicia Vikander > Jennifer Lopez > Melissa Leo> Octavia Spencer > Allison Janney > Lupita N'yongo > Laura Dern > Patricia Arquette 

Somewhat disappointing. Hathaway was the only one who I thought was genuinely deserving. Rest of them range from very good to nothing special to borderline bad.
