The manner in which he portrayed his character transformation — from a man to a woman — is worth applauding. Room truly deserves the award. Alejandro González Iñárritu showed us something magnificent with Birdman last year, and has now depicted a totally different film and vision in The Revenant.Kartik Aaryan: My vote goes to Eddie Redmayne to win Best Actor for The Danish Girl. It also reflected how good journalism can bring about a change in society. Plus I am a little biased towards him as he has had plenty of nominations, but hasn’t won the coveted statuette yet. Leonardo DiCaprio is brilliant and stands a strong chance.Sonu Sood: I think Leonardo DiCaprio deserves the Oscar for The Revenant.Esha Gupta: Leonardo DiCaprio should definitely win it this year.

And their overwhelming favourites seem to be Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant and Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl for the Best Actor prize, Brie Larson as Best Actress for Room, and The Revenant and filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu for Best Picture and Director, respectively. Other favoured contenders Investigative journalism drama Spotlight, and Cate Blanchett starrer Carol. I’m an admirer of Alejandro Iñárritu’s work — he’s one of the few directors who explores new directions in film making with every film. It was subtle and yet believable.Patralekha: Spotlight is a brilliant film and was perfect in every department. There are some films in which the canvas is the narrative of the film, but here both the performances and the narrative are equally gripping.

It’s subtle, it’s beautiful, and it’s touching. Alejandro González Iñárritu is a master storyteller and the film should definitely win the Oscar.

He was brilliant as always. Brie Larson’s performance was simply stunning, as was Jacob Tremblay’s. The movie takes you on another trip altogether. And I think everyone felt the vulnerability with which he played his character Einar, who then transforms into Lili. Though I hear, and am sure that Eddie Redmayne is fantastic in The Danish Girl, I haven’t seen the film myself.
