The 92nd Academy Awards- The Oscars- Best Actor in a Supporting Role

The Oscars Image

The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, are awards given to the best in cinema. There are numerous categories that have awards tied to them. We have previously covered the categories for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Sometimes just as important as the leading role is the supporting role, and we are going over the nominees for Best Supporting Actor.

The first actor on the list of nominees is Tom Hanks for his role as Mister Rogers in the movie A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood sees a jaded magazine writer assigned to profile Mister Rogers and coming out of their meeting with a new view of his life. Tom Hanks might be considered a supporting actor for the film, but he is just as important as the main actor.

Next up on the list of nominees for supporting actor is Anthony Hopkins for playing Pope Benedict in The Two Popes. Hopkins delivers an excellent performance and gives us a sense of the nature of the character he plays. For those unaware, The Two Popes sees the introspective Pope Benedict and his harshest critic, Cardinal Bergoglio, engage in a deep, revelatory discussion about the state of the Catholic Church and their future as its leaders.

Next on the list we actually have two nominees for Best Supporting Actor from the same movie. The nominees are Al Pacino and Joe Pesci for their respective roles in the movie, The Irishman. They play Jimmy Hoffa and Russell Bufalino respectively and deliver on their roles as powerful figures of the mob. Due to their lauded performances, they managed to both make it onto the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actor.

Finally, also nominated for the award for Best Supporting Actor is Brad Pitt for his performance in Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood. Pitt plays the role of Cliff Booth, the stunt double for a TV actor during the Golden Age of Hollywood. His performance made him just as important to the film as co-star Leonardo DiCaprio and allowed him to be put on the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actor.
