The end of the year is upon us and that means it’s time for the annual 2021 ComicBook.com Golden Issues Awards, honoring the year’s best in films, television, gaming, comic books, and pop culture as voted by staff. This year, as Hollywood began to return after a year of delays thanks to the global pandemic, movie fans had a wealth of entertainment to choose from, including solid performances by many lead actors. This year when it comes to Best Actor, the previously announced nominees include 007 star Daniel Craig for his final outing as James Bond in No Time to Die; Idris Elba, who takes aim at the DC Extended Universe as the mercenary Bloodsport in The Suicide Squad; Tom Hardy, sinking his teeth into dual roles as Eddie Brock and the alien lethal protector in Venom: Let There Be Carnage; Simu Liu, making his hard-hitting Marvel debut as a master martial artist in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings; and Tom Holland, the six-time Spidey star caught in the web of the Multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
