We’ve been calling Rami Malek in this category since November. Actors adore his performance (and the industry knows he basically saved “Bohemian Rhapsody” from falling off the rails). The SAG and BAFTA wins sealed it. Christian Bale has a shot, as does Bradley Cooper, but this should be Malek’s moment. [Updated Feb. 12]
Predictions
1. Rami Malek, “Bohemian Rhapsody”
2. Christian Bale, “Vice”
