Best Supporting Actor? Check. Best Supporting Actress? Check. Now, ladies and gentlemen, please allow us to present the EPL Oscar for Best Actor.
The Nominees Are…
Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
“Bryan Cranston brought Trumbo to life for me. Although I had known the topline events, I didn’t know all the details that make a story and a person so compelling.” — Judith Damin
Matt Damon, The Martian
“A nuanced, dramatic role that – while serious – didn’t take itself so seriously.” — Bridget Petrites
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
“DiCaprio became Hugh Glass.” — Doug Plank
Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
“Jobs is an iconic American figure, and Fassbender’s performance shows his genius and nuance.” — Pablo Rajczyk
Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl
“Eddie Redmayne was INCREDIBLE in this movie. He was able to achieve a sensitivity about this topic that made me feel he became the character.” — Carley Pernokas
Write-In: Michael B. Jordan, Creed
“Michael B. Jordan… was robbed of a nomination. I find it outrageous. He is devoted on all levels and never once breaks character, while managing to make a very difficult role appear effortless. Thrilling stuff. But, alas: #OscarsSoWhite.” — Jarrett Dapier
And the EPL Oscar goes to…
Bryan Cranston!
“This was really a breakout performance for Bryan Cranston, and though he is always excellent, his performance in this important story was exquisite.” — Julianna Kahn
