Ralph Fiennes as M. Gustave in “THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL”
Jake Gyllenhaal as Louis Bloom in “NIGHTCRAWLER”
Oscar Isaac as Abel Morales in “A MOST VIOLENT YEAR”
Jack O’Connell as Eric Love in “STARRED UP”
David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King Jr. in “SELMA”
AND THE WINNER IS:
This is the first win and second nomination for Ralph Fiennes having previously been nominated for The Duchess (2008).
Ralph Fiennes has given great performances in the past full of drama but as M. Gustave in The Grand Budapest Hotel he gives one of the funniest performances in recent memory. Fiennes was perfect casting for the role unlike previously attached Johnny Depp because unlike Depp Fiennes is seems willing to make fun of this type of persona and is better suited to the class filled role of Gustave and in this role Fiennes really knows how to mix comedy, tragedy and great drama altogether to form this perfect type of performance. Fiennes has been doing great work inconsistently since his breakout in 1993 and with Fiennes he defines another type of performance I feel he should to keep giving because it is ingenious work. Fiennes really shows his great talent in his character’s final moments where we see this great character trajectory come to a depressing end and Fiennes handles the role of this unbeatable character with such class which is why I fell so in love with his performance.
