Here’s our early predictions for the best actor race, which does actually have a considerable contender already in Ralph Fiennes, whose work in “The Grand Budapest Hotel” is pretty universally beloved. Can he hang in there? That all depends on a slew of much anticipated work from the likes of Steve Carell (“Foxcatcher,” which won raves in Cannes), Chadwick Boseman (“Get on Up”), Joaquin Phoenix (“Inherent Vice”), Oscar Isaac (“A Most Violent Year”), Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Imitation Game”), Michael Keaton (“Birdman”), Timothy Spall (“Mr. Turner,” who won best actor at Cannes), Eddie Redmayne (“Theory of Everything”) and Jack O’Connell (“Unbroken”), among others. Notably, of all those mentioned, only Fiennes and Joaquin Phoenix are previous nominees.
