The 2018 Cinema Touch Awards - ACTOR

by

Julien Faddoul

5. The Guilty – Jakob Cedergren

For deftly ricocheting from irritable entitlement to pure kindness and empathy. He commands the screen, which is super lucky for everyone else involved.

4. The Sisters Brothers – John C. Reilly

For a soulful portrayal of a simple man who exploits situations and uncovers his personal identity. He continues to be one of the most reliable and frustratingly underappreciated character actors working today.

3. The Death of Stalin – Steve Buscemi

For a perfect balance of tyrannical urgency and bumbling neurosis. He anchors the whole thing with his dyspeptic charm in the way only Buscemi can.

2. The Death of Stalin – Simon Russell Beale

For pulling off an incredibly tricky tonal tightrope. He is hilarious yet the repulsiveness of Lavrentiy Beria is unshakeable. A marvel.

1. First Reformed – Ethan Hawke

For a truly brilliant work of martyrdom, as what is probably the most wearily jaded of Schrader’s emotionally debilitated men. He makes it all seem effortless.

Runner Up: Private Life – Paul Giamatti
