Which is pretty weird. I like the idea of Vinterberg's nod but if anyone from Another Round deserved a nod it was Mads Mikkelsen. Truly outstanding and I think easily better than Steven Yeun on the list who I thought was so meh in the film. But Minari, like Promising Young Woman, was part of the 2020 zeitgeist so it was I suppose but natural that the lead actor would make the list.

Pretty disappointing nods in that they stuck to the usual suspects being predicted all over except for the surprise inclusions of Stanfield and Vinterberg.

If we are talking a nominee not seriously on anyone's radar, I would say ANOTHER ROUND in the Director category. I have not seen the film myself, but people sure seem to love it. Also, while Thomas Vinterberg is not particularly famous, he probably has enough admirers among his peers to breakthrough the more mainstream choices everyone is predicting (including myself). Pretty unlikely, but I still feel like it could happen. We shall see soon enough.
If it's Vinterberg then Mads Mikkelsen will also get in. Not one without the other.

2020 Potential Best Actor Nominees

Let's try another one. Hopefully, I'll get this one right and not leave out any of the most likely contenders.

Pick five. If you make a mistake or change your mind you can delete however many checkmarks you've made as you want and replace them.

If you have a choice other than those listed, vote for fewer than five and give us the names of your write-ins in the comments.
