And the winner is...
Kevin Hart (About Last Night)
Jaeden Lieberher (St. Vincent)
J.K. Simmons (Whiplash)
Terry Crews (Blended)
Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)
Neil Patrick Harris (A Million Ways to Die in the West)
Rob Lowe (Sex Tape)
I almost feel bad about this. For the longest time, Kevin Hart owned this award in 2014. That is, until I saw Whiplash. If there was ever an actor that drove what may have otherwise been an average movie into something very watchable, it was Simmons. His performance as a maniacal hard-driven music teacher reminded me in some ways of R. Lee Ermey's maniacal hard-driven drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket. It was an excellent performance on Simmons' part. The Academy got this one right when they gave him the Oscar.
