And, though La La Land and Moonlight may be battling for the top prize, there’s one name which has been dominating the talk for the Best Actor prize: Casey Affleck, for his role in Kenneth Lonergan’s Manchester by the Sea.
Manchester by the Sea hits UK cinemas on 13 January 2017.
Lee is a man who has already suffered untold grief, but this burden only crushes his spirit further.
Both penned and directed by Lonergan, the film also stars Michelle Williams, Kyle Chandler, and Gretchen Mol.
