For some discussion before our AMARA category.
I tried listing those with multiple, notable projects across movies/tv this year bc I think the "answer" is among them. But, feel free to defend or post about anyone else (ie Kristen Stewart) if you feel they're the exemplary actor of the year. Two picks available in the poll for anyone really torn on two.
I've already given Stephen Graham the title a few times, so I figured let's make it official. But I know there's a serious argument for my runner-up pick Cumberbatch - a potential Oscar win for Power of the Dog, The Courier, Spider-Man- if the biggest movie of the year is a factor for you, and stuff I haven't seen: The Mauritanian, Louis Wain, The Simpsons!
Feel free to do a Top 5 or whatever you like.

There's a lot I still have yet to see, but I voted for Colman. I haven't seen The Lost Daughter but she's got The Mitchells vs. The Machines, Landscapers, Ron's Gone Wrong, Mothering Sunday (and she narrated The Electrical Life of Louis Wain. That's a low-key banner year that really needs to be taken into account.
EDIT: Having seen The Lost Daughter now, I feel even better about voting for Olivia.

From this list Chastain for me - I think Eyes of Tammy Faye was a great performance that deserves a nod and so is Scenes From A Marriage on TV.... Missing from this list I guess some would say Leto - Little Things and HoG but I didn't like him much in Little Things (he was fine, the movie not so much) and I liked at least 2 people more than him HoG (he was good and bad, more good) so ........ I'd also throw out Niamh Algar who gave the performances I most thought about this year and re-thought about and changed my mind on...... in film in Censor which is my #2 of the year nowadays and at first I was only slightly positive on - for her and the movie........and she was flat out great in the BBC show Deceit ........she has had a dynamite past few years and has great stuff coming up too. She's an actress I actually feel challenged by - I've seen her in several things - and it takes me a while to see where she's coming from.........and I always come around to her approach ........more interesting than someone everybody "agrees" on ....  |

^^ Niamh Algar also had Wrath of Man and, depending on your perspective on release dates, a magnificent turn in Calm With Horses. She is absolutely crushing it.

I think the performer of the year Is the onw that combined críticas acclaim with box office success AND impress the press.
Maybe the Spiderman guy, Tom Holland should be included. Because His omission I choose Cumberbatch, Chalamet AND Olivia Colman.
Cumberbatch Is in the críticas darling AND box office Hit of the year.
Chalamet Is the young guy who was in every damn film AND has box office success with Dune.
Colman represent an actor who has a great year un 2020 AND her 2021 looks greater.
Hon mention Oscar Isaac.
I dont think actors that have Big turkeys like Affleck, Chastain or Commer should be here

I would give everything for a film where all of Jared Leto's characters are in rehab together. |

Small bump for anyone catching up on watches. I think we're underbidding Stephen Graham, who worked across nearly every format in 2021. I mean, this much work alone is impressive, pandemic-under and all, but the talent....several of these have great perfs from him (Boiling Point, Time, Help - three that he exec produced too, mind ya). At the moment, he's soaring over not only his peers, but everybody/anybody. I'm in awe of him. Boiling Point - feature film (all one shot, pressure-cooked chef) Venom 2 - feature film (blockbuster, hearing impaired San Francisco cop) Help - tv film (heartbreaking as early onset Alzheimer's patient) Time - miniseries (compromised prison guard) The North Water - miniseries (grungy sea captain) Code 404 - series (S2, sci-fi buddy cop comedy) Pop - short film (BFI funded, ex convict) Spit of You - music video (struggling father)    |

Well I've been casting Depp in my version but I'd welcome the Graham (random but Depp in 2009 said, "Stephen Graham is one of my favorite actors of all time. What he did in This Is England absolutely destroyed me.") . I think I'm gonna have to binge Peaky Blinders now that he's guesting in S6. Can't get enough of The Scouse of Gucci. |

Reilly was my go-to for the role (especially as he'd worked with Lanthimos before), and I've entertained a gender-flipped version of the role with Olivia Colman, which I'm sure she'd dominate . . . but Graham needs the breakthrough cinematic role, and he's both intense and offbeat enough that I think he and Yorgos would get on famously. |

Great one not yet mentioned: Lea Seydoux - Great leading performance in France, one of the best players in The French Dispatch, a major role in one of the year's only truly "big" movies (No Time to Die), in which she's not all that great but it's a huge movie that rests so much of its weight on her shoulders in the second half, you have to take that kind of thing into account when considering this sort of accolade. She had such a low-key great year she had 4 (!) movies premiere at Cannes - I don't really care that I haven't seen/heard of 2 of them - I'm still impressed. But the real headliner here is her work in France which is a performance mostly in close-up and it's one the best close-up performances in recent memory...  |
