I completely believed they were their characters and it feels like they're in my heart forever. When I saw it I thought Burnap was a lock for supporting actor win and he wasn't even nominated so I hope regardless of where he's placed he earns a nomination, along with Soller and Hilton.
Redgrave was by far the weakest part of this so this is a really good move. I didn't love Levine in Part 1 but he definitely won me over in Part 2."
I felt similarly about Levine the first time I saw it, but I quickly realized I didn't like ADAM but loved Leo. The second time I saw it I really saw what great work he was doing with Adam that really sets up what he does with Leo. It also underlined my theory about the characters that I won't spoil.
I was also shocked Burnap didn't win every award under the English sun because Toby on the page is outright mean nightmare monster person but Burnap added such a charm and grace you wanted Toby to like you even though you know he's a monster.
Part of me does wish the three leads (Toby, Adam/Leo, George) were played by out gay actors, but I'm also excited to see their performances again and again.
