@Toby in reply to your question. Will Smith in Concussion and Ice Cube in Straight Outta Compton come immediately to mind. Chris Rock is hosting the Oscars this year. I'm sure he'll have some choice words to say on the subject.


Ah yes, Concussion! I'll check that out. Smith was under-appreciated in Focus too I think. Chris Rock is a great choice too as always.

@viridis, love the choices slight_smile

Inside Out is the only clear animated choice in my view.

I hope Leonardo DiCaprio finally gets an award. He has done some amazing acting and deserves to be recognised for it. slight_smile
