Robin WIlliams as the psychologist Sean Maguire in Good Will hunting.

I would even say that was his best role in a film Williams ever played.

So I guess that is the film about Stephen Hawkins' life. A friend of mine saw this and she was enthusiastic about it.

Tom Hardy in numerous films, but my favourite is him as the Kray twins in Legend. Genuinely believe he's the most talented actor on the planet at the moment.

Indeed such a shame!

Leo in the Wolf of Wall Street. No other actor could pull that off.

Just imagine being in Legend, Mad Max and the Revenant all in one year. Wouldn't call him the best just yet but certainly quite an accolade
