4. Jacob Tremblay For Room
9-year-old Jacob Tremblay won the Critics Choice award for his performance in Room, as well as the National Board of Review breakthrough actor award. This isn’t his first film, but these awards he’s winning and being nominated for, are definitely a first for him. Room tells the story of a mother (Brie Larson) looking after her young son (Tremblay), as they are trapped in a 10-by-10-foot windowless room. The story has some really dark and surprising turns, which makes Tremblay’s performance all the more impressive. Finding a talented child actor in a movie nowadays is an incredibly rare thing, and when it happens, it’s well worth praise.
