I think Supporting Actor has the "weakest" crop of winners, if only because I definitely wouldn't have given Rylance or Waltz Oscars for those performances. Best Actress has the best crop of winners IMO, because I really loved all of those performances (except Streep, whose performance in The Iron Lady is one of the few of hers that I haven't seen).

The rest aren't even worth ranking.

Her and Davis are the only good ones tbh.

[SLAM!]

I really haven't seen that much, but I'll rank as much as I can.

 

Before people say "Where's Natalie Portman, where Casey Affleck, where's blah, where's blah", I need to say that performances I haven't seen aren't even in the list at all.

 

Best Actor

1. Eddie Redmayne - The Theory of Everything

2. Colin Forth - The King's Speech

3. Leonardo DiCaprio - The Revenant

4. Jean DuJardin - The Artist

 

Best Actress

1. Julianne Moore - Still Alice

2. Brie Larson - Room

3. Jennifer Lawrence - Silver Linings Playbook

4. Asian Smurf - La La Land

 

Best Supporting Actor

Simmons is the only one I've seen. Nonetheless, he is phenomenal.

 

Best Supporting Actress

1. Patricia Arquette - Boyhood

2. Lupita N'Yongo - 12 Years a Slave

3. Anne Hathaway - Les Miserables

4. Octavia Spencer - The Help

 

And just because a performance is at the bottom of the list doesn't mean it's not a good performance. I liked all of these.

3. Lupita

4. Vikander

5. Leo

6. Hathaway

 

Supporting Actor has by far the strongest recent track record (and that's not even counting 2007-2009 when they were awarding one all-time great performance after another). All except Leto are really solid and 4 or 5 out of seven are excellent. Actress and Supporting Actress are fine overall but have their share of clunkers. Actor is a clusterfuck except for DDL (and almost certainly Affleck but I still haven't seen MBTS).
