The Oscars are right around the corner!<\/p>\n

After a whirlwind first month of 2020 that included the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Critics’ Choice Awards and<\/em> Grammys<\/a>, we still have another major award show on the horizon!<\/p>\n

On February 9, the 2020 Academy Awards<\/a> will take place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood and we are so excited! We know it’ll be a night full of A-list stars winning trophies but, in the meantime, we want to know who you’d<\/em> like to see come out on top.<\/p>\n

You’ve already sounded off that Brad Pitt<\/a><\/strong> should be taking home the hardware<\/a> for Supporting Actor and that Laura Dern<\/a><\/strong> should be crowned Supporting Actress<\/a>. Now, we’re curious with who you think deserves the Best Actor award!<\/p>\n

It’s a competitive category this year, with heavyweights like Joaquin Phoenix<\/a><\/strong>(who has so far swept all the other major awards) and Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a><\/strong>facing off for the prize.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There are also stars who are nominated for the first time, such as Jonathan Pryce<\/strong> for Two Popes<\/em> and Antonio Banderas<\/a><\/strong> for Pain and Glory<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You’ve also got Adam Driver<\/a><\/strong> in consideration for his dramatic performance in Marriage Story<\/em>, proving that Netflix (which also produced The Two Popes<\/em>) is still attracting major talent to streaming services<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Really, you can’t go wrong with which actor you think should hear their name after, “And the Oscar goes to…”<\/p>\n

Review the actor’s roles below and then sound off on who you think should be the victor.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Jonathan Pryce for The Two Popes<\/i> <\/h3>\n

Jonathan Pryce <\/strong>plays Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio <\/strong>(who later became Pope Francis<\/strong>) in this film that explores his character finding common ground with the exiting Pope Benedict (Anthony Hopkins) <\/strong>to lead the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\"Leonardo<\/div>\n

Sony Pictures Entertainment<\/p>\n

Leonardo DiCaprio for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/i> <\/h3>\n
\n

Leonardo DiCaprio<\/strong>, arguably one of the last true “movie stars,”<\/a> was perfect casting for the role of Rick Dalton, a fading Western star in Quentin Tarantino<\/strong>‘s meta love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\"Antonio<\/div>\n

\n
\"Marriage<\/div>\n

Netflix<\/p>\n

Adam Driver for Marriage Story<\/i> <\/h3>\n
