OUTSTANDING LEADING ACTOR IN A MINISERIES OR MOVIE


Paul Bettany as Ian Campbell, 11th Duke of Argyll in “A VERY BRITISH SCANDAL”
Colin Firth as Michael Peterson in “THE STAIRCASE”
Andrew Garfield as Detective Jeb Pyre in “UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN”
Oscar Isaac as Jonathan Levy in “SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE”
Samuel L. Jackson as Ptolemy Grey in “THE LAST DAYS OF PTOLEMY GREY”
Jack O’Connell as Patrick Sumner in “THE NORTH WATER”

AND THE WINNER IS:


OSCAR ISAAC AS JONATHAN LEVY IN "SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE"

This is the second win and nomination for Oscar. He previously won for Show Me a Hero (2016). He wins for his performance as Jonathan Levy on Scenes from a Marriage.

Oscar Isaac's career has had it's ups and downs over the decade of the 2010's but so far the new decade of the 2020's has only had success' for the man with his Jessica Chastain reunion Scenes from a Marriage marking another career high for the gifted performer. This series remake had a lot to live up to based on the reception of the original 70's swedish version and while not as totally captivating as the original none of this lesser quality has to do with Isaac. He really took the audience on an emotional rollercoaster and Isaac proved yet again he is an actor unafraid to play the emotional range present in his characters. It's roles like these I want to see Isaac excelling in which is why I was thankful for the show this year.

P.S. Bonus points to Moon Knight and Isaacs work there. He was great there even if I preferred him Scenes from a Marriage it's still worth mentioning that series.
