20 Best & Worst Movies From 2018 Oscar Nominees

12. Daniel Kaluuya

Best: Get Out (2017)

Get Out marked out both Jordan Peele and star Daniel Kaluuya as emergng stars who we are bound to hear a lot more from in the coming years. The former is now one of Hollywood's most watched directors and the star has already appeared in Black Panther and won the BAFTA Rising Star award in 2018. On the back of this performance, more is coming.

His is an exceptional lead performance as the easy-to-root-for hero, who remains the constant as Peele throws twists at him and the audience. And his selling is exactly why the film works so well.

Worst: Chatroom (2010)

Chatroom's problem is that its concept - of five kids meeting in a chatroom and one of them manipulating the others for his own amusement - is a lot better than the execution. It also feels a lot more like a stage-play - a medium in which it might have worked better.

It's directed by Hideo Nakata and there's a good young cast, but they're let down badly - both by the director and the material, which makes them come of as boring and inauthentic.
