Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama

My predictions: 3/5, picking Depp and Hanks over Cranston and Smith
Who’s missing? Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks

I didn’t even realize when the nominees were announced that Depp, who got nominated yesterday for a SAG Award, wasn’t among them. Instead, we got Bryan Cranston (Trumbo), who was recognized yesterday and whose film appears to have performed better than expected, and Will Smith (Concussion), who may or may not make it all the way to the Oscar finals. Joining them are three expected inclusions: Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant), the only actor in this category whose film is nominated for the top prize, Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl), and Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs).

Who will win? It’s hard to say at this point, but probably DiCaprio.
