Oscars 2017: These 7 Actors Are The Leading Contenders For 'Best Actor' Trophy

From making the careers of some of the most creative and essential filmmakers in the world to honouring the under-rated legends, the history of Oscars is filled with important moments. But none of course compares to recognising those films that deserve our attention. And that is enough of a reason that Oscars is the biggest prize in cinema worldwide: if a film is recognised by its voting members, it will live on forever.

And similarly, if an actor is awarded, his work will always be highlighted.

And as the race for the next year's Oscars heats up, we thought to let you know about the actors that will be competing for that biggest prize next spring.

Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea)

Joel Edgerton (Loving)

Ryan Gosling (La La Land)

Tom Hanks (Sully)

Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge & Silence)

Ethan Hawke (Born to Be Blue)
