Total bs.
What was the best acting? Grunting and not speaking for 2.5 hours?
Handed that for tough competition all the previous years. But that was not a particularly special performance.
I personally think it was more what he went through physically, the rough conditions.
Acting is more than stage/drama/face/speech time.
I certainly agree it was lacking there, and this wasn't his best performance by any means.
And yes, for years passed snubbed.
I'm gonna have to watch the Fassbender and Trumbo ones
