    For me personally,

    1. Affleck (emotional powerhouse of a performance)
    2. Garfield (fantastic reactive and deeply moving work that gets better the more I think about it)
    3. Washington (tremendous, bombastic and memorable display of his talents)
    4. Mortensen (great potrayal of a difficult character)
    5. Gosling (weak link of the lineup which isn't saying much because he's excellent too)

    3. Washington
    4. Gosling
    5. Garfield

    For me:

    1. Affleck (one of my favourite winners, just wonderful)
    2. Washington (maybe his best film performance from what I've seen of him)
    3. Mortensen (Not a big fan of the film, but he's rock-solid in it as per usual)
    4. Gosling (*Very* charming and enjoyable turn, but not quite on the same level as his best work IMO, still pretty good)

    Still haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge.

    How I'd personally rank them-

    1. Mortensen (Brilliant, powerful work that elevates his solid material to greater heights)
    2. Affleck (Amazing performance, easily one of the best portrayals of grief ever)
    3. Garfield (charming and charismatic as hell in the first half of the film, and when the war scenes start his reactions are so powerful and well done. His portrayal of Doss's conviction to his beliefs, and his heroics is also phenomenal)
    4. Washington (Fantastic and career best work from Washington. He gives a more overt performance than anyone here, but the subtle moments he has gives true meaning and reflection to his character)
    5. Gosling (Can't praise his work enough as he seems to be an underrated nominee. He has excellent chemistry with Emma Stone, a lot of charisma, and is actually hilarious. He also handles his dramatic moments quite powerfully)
    It's really saying something that I ranked Gosling last despite loving him so much, indicates the strength of this year.
