Ryan Gosling - La La Land
Despite the fact that Gosling's character is a crabby wanna-be jazz musician, he is quite charming in the film. Also, despite the fact that Gosling isn't known for being a singer, he truly held his own during this film. What's more, you've got to respect those dance skills.

Casey Affleck - Manchester By The Sea
Simply put, this story is about a broken man who returns to the town that he has been trying to avoid for most of his life - and Affleck put out his best performance of his entire career. If he doesn't win for this one, it will be a complete shame.

Emma Stone - La La Land
Hopefully, La La Land will walk away with the biggest awards in their genre of the night. Stone is a hilarious actress that pulls out all the stops in his musical comedy. Not only does she completely deliver on all of her comedic moment, but was still able to give a dramatic performance when the story called for it. What's more she had to learn how to sing and dance for the part as much as Gosling did.

Amy Adams - Arrival
While Arrival is a science-fiction based drama, which usually don't get the recognition that they deserve from awards shows - with the exception of last year's The Martian wins - Adams' performance in the film is absolutely worth the award. She put together one of the most emotional performances of the year. However, Adams is likely to lose to Natalie Portman's Jackie, but that doesn't mean that the HFPA won't surprise everyone and award Adam's brilliant performance.
