Besides Oldman, I'd say there were at least three other Oscar worthy performances: Hardy, Cumberbatch, and maybe the best of them all, Mark Strong.

It was just a masterclass on all fronts in classic espionage filmmaking

I agree about Strong but am interested in why you omitted Colin Firth? So much was centered around him, both he and Strong.

Here’s a little treat for all fans of this movie ... via YouTube. LINK: https://youtu.be/FPq3DC3u9DA ... when you watch it retrospectively it is amazing how much it gives away in less than two minutes.

Great song too that I remember so well when it was a hit and why it was a hit and in what movie originally, on what soundtrack.

The only reason I didn't mention Firth, who of course is a great actor, is because I just don't think he had enough screen time or big acting scenes. Only at the very end did he really have good character interaction.
