7. Daniel Kaluuya in Get Out (2017)

Daniel Kaluuya's acting in Get Out is a class performance in the subtlety and slow burn of tension. Playing Chris Washington, he shows great mastery of how a man uncovers an incredibly terrifying truth behind polite smiles and eerie conversations. His capacity to express fear and emotional depth, especially in the haunting "Sunken Place" scene, makes his performance unforgettable. Kaluuya's expressive, restrained acting draws the audience into Chris's nightmare and raises the film's social commentary.
