Actor in a Supporting Role
This is one of the "lock" categories (RDJ is -1000 to win, which I suspect is what most prop bet days are to my nephew). I am ok with him taking the hardware, though I'd put him 4th on my list -- which is why I'm self-banned from Draft Kings.


-
​Robert Downey, Jr., Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer
- ​Plays a dark character beautifully. Also is getting some support because Tony Stark never got a nod. I'm okay with this, even though I loved three other performances just as much.

-
Mark Ruffalo, Duncan Wedderburn in Poor Things
-
The Hulk gives the breakout performance in this category. In a dark comedy, he gave the best laughs. This would be my choice, if not for the Tony Stark love.

Robert DeNiro, William Hale in Killers of the Flower Moon
-
DeNiro can act! Well, I knew he could, but his last half-a-dozen roles were Robert DeNiro doing his Goodfellas persona. This was a great performance is an unevenly directed film.​

Ryan Gosling, Ken in Barbie
-
Good performance in a surprisingly fun movie. He is Ken, though. Seriously, have any of your seen his junk? That's because...nada. Well, can you prove me wrong?!?​

Sterling K. Brown, Cifford Ellison in American Fiction
-
By far the best thing this guy has done. I would have no problem awarding him a statue, but the guy formerly of the flying suit stops the SKB train.

I like that nice Uncle Hale. Good business man, like me. You have to take take take before you drill drill drill.
