They shoulda been contenders

Chjwetel Ejiofor in "Redbelt"

Best Actor

Will someone nominate this guy for a freakin’ Oscar, already? In past films like “Kinky Boots” and “Talk to Me,” Ejiofor stole scenes in the least selfish manner possible. In “Redbelt,” he expresses the challenges of being a good man in a bad world, and what goes through the head of a righteous guy whose trust has let him down. —MP
