Oscars 2020: Predicting The Winners In Every Category

4. Best Actor

Joker Joaquin Phoenix
Warner Bros.

WINNER

Joaquin Phoenix (Joker)

NOMINEES

Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory)

Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)

Adam Driver (Marriage Story)

Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes)

There was a time when the Best Actor Oscar seemed like Adam Driver's to lose, but Joaquin Phoenix has been barrelling his way through the awards circuit as of late, and there's very little chance of anyone upending his path to the Oscar podium.

Whether or not you feel Driver is the more worthy winner, it'll certainly be satisfying to see the four-time nominee Phoenix finally scoop the award, and his acceptance speech will surely be a sight to behold.
