  1. Dakota Johnson is throwing me off lol. I saw most of that movie on HBO the other day and thought it was terrible.

    I knew Rooney and Cate would be towards the top. Great picks!

    1. Haha, the film is bad, but Johnson is amazing in it. Like, the film didn't deserve such a committed performance.

      Thanks! Rooney and Cate forever.

  3. Lots of good stuff from what I've seen. Well, except for Dakota Johnson. Just...no, I can't...not with that one. Otherwise, great work.

    1. Thanks. LOL, I thought Johnson gave an honest, heartfelt performance in a ghastly movie. I've seen others praise her, but I know I'm in the minority. :/

  4. YEY for Tom making the cut! I did like Hanks in BoS far more than Rylance

    1. Tom had an AMAZING year. He barely missed my Best Actor lineup. :( Hanks really impressed me on a second look, and I'd probably call it his best overall performance. (That scene in Captain Phillips would be his finest moment, though.)

  5. I've seen 16 of these.

    Love them all.

    So happy Tremblay ranks so high, and that Lively made your list...and your #1 and #2...who can argue!

    1. YAY! Tremblay was very close to making my top five, as was Lively. Funnily enough, they were both my #8.

  6. LOVE that Rooney made the top spot. I really wanted her to win supporting actress. It didn't even seem like they campaigned for her at all!

    1. Yeah, as much as I wanted Vikander to win for her incredible year, Mara totally deserved it. I don't understand that campaign at all. Were they even trying for a win?
