SAG Noms: Male Actor In a Supporting Role

4. Philip Seymour Hoffman, “The Master”

All questions about the basis of “The Master” in the history of Scientology fall away in the face of Hoffman’s cult leader. Preternaturally calm and offering frazzled men and women in a post-WWII America assurances and safety that he can’t totally provide, Hoffman is frighteningly believable and just as effective at casting a spell over audiences.
