15 Golden Globe Nomination Snubs for 2016

4. Abraham Attah

If you’ve yet to commit to Netflix’s child soldier drama Beasts of No Nation (which earned Idris Elba a nod for Supporting Actor), do it. Is the film punishing? Yes. Is it brutal in its unflinching look at the day-in day-out routine of child soldiers? Absolutely. But the film is also incredibly stunning, interesting and rewarding. And that’s mostly do to the performance of the film’s lead, 15-year-old newcomer Abraham Attah. Attah’s haunting performance as the young boy who watches his family get massacred only to be recruited by Idris Elba’s Commandant is heart-wrenching. What follows is a harrowing year in the boy’s life, which Attah captures with a grace and power that belies his age.
