Andrea Riseborough's campaign, and The Whale star Brendan Fraser

EW sr. movies editor Joshua Rothkopf and writer Lauren Huff join Awardist host Gerrad Hall to examine the Best Actor race, where Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser, and Austin Butler have all emerged as winners this awards season — and Fraser sits down with EW's Joey Nolfi for a thoughtful and reflective conversation about his body of work and this career-changing role.
