I still have my fingers crossed for Best Actor winner Riz Ahmed.

I think he’d have a chance if Chadwick hadn’t passed away; but it’s starting to feel like Chadwick is a lock. And he absolutely earned it. If this was any other year, I think CB and RA would be neck and neck and would be trading wins but.........

I agree. Which isn't to say that I don't like Chadwick, but I don't know, I don't like to see deserving people overlooked just because someone else is "due."

[chllschse]

In this case though, I do think Chadwick is just as deserving but dying tragically young will likely give him the edge when in any other year it would have been a toss up.....or both young(ish) actors of color would have been passed up in favor of old white guy.......

Yeah, I saw a tweet that was like, "Delroy Lindo, Riz Ahmed, Chadwick Boseman, Steven Yeun...and the Oscar goes to Tom Hanks!"
