Idris Elba is one of the most talented actors of this generation


He should have been nominated but !2 years a slave took the spotlight this year.
Elba's performance was more poignant and I enjoyed this film because of his talent.

I hope gets LOTS MORE ROLES and I hope he gets them RIGHT AWAY.
One or two more movies like this, and he joins the ranks of ... Will Smith ... Morgan Freeman ... Denzel Washington ... Samuel L. Jackson ... Sidney Poitier ... Idris Elba !!

Agreed. I thought Idris was just incredible as Mandela.

I just saw the movie & came here to see if he won an Oscar. Nuts that he didn't.
