20 Best Movie Performances Of 2021
11. Andrew Garfield - Tick, Tick...Boom!
Lin-Manuel Miranda's terrifically entertaining adaptation of Jonathan Larson's musical of the same name wouldn't prove nearly as effective without a fantastic lead performance by Andrew Garfield.
As Larson, Garfield is a terrifically charming presence with an absolute belter of a singing voice, but he also knows when to switch gears down in order to create a wholly empathetic protagonist who feels totally relatable in his crushing anxieties and desire to get stuff done before it's too late.
As a tribute to the late Larson, it's a deeply stirring performance which confirms Garfield to be one of the most versatile actors working today, and he therefore seems likely to secure himself his second Best Actor Oscar nomination to date.
