5. Benicio Del Toro For Sicario
Benicio Del Toro embodied terrifying and magnanimous in Sicario, but his performance went unnoticed. The film was already dealing with incredibly dark and heavy material, and Del Toro’s character cemented the film in its morally-gray center of gravity. Del Toro has been around as an actor for a long time and he’s always been incredible. One of his first roles in American television was on Michael Mann‘s Miami Vice in 1987. And though he has always been good in almost everything he’s been in, this role in Sicariospecifically is his best in recent years. Maybe he’ll deliver a phenomenal performance in Star Wars: Episode VIII and finally get recognized by the Academy.
