The Nominees: Stellan Skarsgård, Sentimental Value; Sean Penn, One Battle After Another; Delroy Lindo, Sinners; Jacob Elordi, Frankenstein; Benicio Del Toro, One Battle After Another
This is another wide-open category that has produced different results all season long. Elordi won at Critics Choice, Del Toro was the victor among numerous key critics groups, Skarsgård won the Golden Globe, and Lindo is considered long overdue. However, Penn, with two Oscar wins already, seems poised to add a third as the unforgettable Steven Lockjaw, plus he has come on strong at BAFTA and the Actor Awards.
THE WINNER: Sean Penn, One Battle After Another
