Andrew Garfield : Andrew shows his dramatic side once again and it is magnificent! Andrew show’s to us he is able to deliver a great dramatic performance in the film The Social Network giving a scene stealing performance in that. And he does it once again tapping into that emotional acting that we have loved seeing from him and it is amazing in this film. When he is onscreen in this film he breaks your heart with the passion and anger you see in his soul in his scenes in this film. He was so captivating he really grabbed your attention with his dialogue and he just fully immersed himself in each scene. So when he spoke the anger and sadness you see in his eyes and voice is so genuine and real there is not one false note in his performance. Overall Andrew delivers a Oscar worthy performance that deserves to be recognized.

Michael Shannon : A scene stealing performance from Shannon that will be a contender for the Oscars for sure. Shannon once again shows us his ability he can captivate the audience with his performance and he makes it look effortless. I have always loved seeing him in dramatic roles he dose them all the time but I always see there is something missing from his performance. And in this film he found that one piece he has been missing and delivered a phenomenal performance. When you see him onscreen in the film the way he spoke and the look in his eyes he just was one hundred percent committed and real onscreen. His emotion in it was fantastic he could be smiling one minute the next he is so serious that you can see it in his eyes is absolutely amazing. When he was onscreen he dominated it with his great acting and he definitely deserves all the award attention he gets. Overall Shannon gives a Extraordinary supporting performance in this marvelous film.
