As the awards season approaches, the excitement for the Best Supporting Actor category is at an all-time high. This year, the competition is fierce, with some of the most talented actors in the industry vying for the coveted award.

But who should win Best Supporting Actor? That's the question on everyone's mind. While each nominee brings something unique to the table, there are a few standout performances that have captured the hearts of audiences and critics alike.

One of the top contenders for the award is Brad Pitt, who delivered a powerful performance in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Pitt's portrayal of stuntman Cliff Booth was both charming and complex, earning him critical acclaim and a Golden Globe win.

Another strong contender is Joe Pesci, who came out of retirement to star in Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. Pesci's understated performance as mob boss Russell Bufalino was a masterclass in subtlety and nuance, showcasing the actor's range and versatility.

Tom Hanks is also in the running for his role as Fred Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Hanks' portrayal of the beloved children's television host was heartwarming and sincere, reminding audiences of the power of kindness and empathy.

Other nominees include Al Pacino for The Irishman and Anthony Hopkins for The Two Popes, both of whom delivered standout performances in their respective films.

Ultimately, the decision of who should win Best Supporting Actor is up to the Academy voters. But no matter who takes home the award, it's clear that this year's nominees have set the bar high for future performances in the category.
