+2
I’ll come back and edit this post to add some commentary on the picks:
Best Supporting Actor, 2016.
1. Andre Holland (Moonlight) - see my previous post.
2. Billy Crudup (20th Century Women) - this one comes from a personal place but Crudup basically plays a composite of the many men I’ve known growing up. Along with the rest of the movie his performance hits the perfect note between nostalgic and authentic. He’s someone worth looking up to but not someone you ought to aspire to be.
3. Sam Neill (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) - similar to the last entry but played for comedic effect.
4. Ralph Ineson (The Witch) - Ineson has so much presence here but, as I’ve explained in other threads, it’s the way his droopy facial features are employ that really sell the character. Despite of all his physical strength and spiritual will, he’s undone by the surface of his situation, his family, the land they chose and their rigid ideals.
5. Michael Shannon (Midnight Special)
Bonus: Issei Ogata (Silence) - “Palpatine The Hutt”
