Screenplay
Jamie Foxx - Ray
Right now, the most likely Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio - The Aviator How good will the movie be? Javier Bardem - Out To Sea A great Spanish director and a great Spanish actor... great Gael Garcia Bernal - The Motorcycle Diaries (Bad Education) He has two very strong movies coming. Not sure that the Academy will nominate him for cross-dressing, so Che Guevara gets nod Jim Caviezel - The Passion Of The Christ Like or hate the film, it is an excellent, nearly silent performance X Bill Murray - The Life Aquatic
Will he get a nod two years in a row? Did the "bad loser" tag hurt him or will he win an Oscar for being overlooked last year? Jeff Bridges - The Door In The Floor A well-liked industry guy who shows his ass here... literally. A tremendous performance Johnny Depp - Finding Neverland A very small film, but a very popular actor Anthony Hopkins - Proof Can't bet against Sir Tony, as long as Chris Rock ain't aorund Kevin Bacon - The Woodsman Will they nominate a great performance as a child molester? Tom Cruise - Collateral Terrific movie... terrific performance... could be written off as "too commercial" Gerard Butler, The Phantom Of The Opera Will the movie hot or miss? If it hits, everyone gets to ride the wave Jim Carrey - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind Great performance, way too early in the year and just $30 million in domestic b.o. Colin Farrell - Alexander Blond hair, big rep... could move up or down the charts in a hurry Ed Harris - Winter Passing I know little except that it is considered sn Oscar role by some Kevin Kline - De-Lovely There is a contingent that loves the film... wonder what studio will be pushing it in December Jude Law - Closer Or Alfie He could knock himself out of a nomination... never seems to get the nods he deserves Liam Neeson - Kinsey Not an overly charismatic role, though apparently a fine performance Mark Ruffalo - We Don't Live Here Anymore Still waiting to take off Kevin Spacey - Beyond The Sea Can they get past the bad make-uip and hair? Could be too smug or they could fall in love Christopher Walken - Around The Bend
Word is that this is a crowning role... we'll see Denzel Washington - The Manchurian Candidate A great actor, but more of a smart summer action movie
Jim Broadbent - Vanity Fair
He's da man. Clive Owen - Closer Clive's first and possibly last shot at the big show Liev Schreiber - The Manchurian Candidate A strong performance in a strong movie Jim Carrey - Lemony Snicket A perfect role, even if it's a family movie Anthony Hopkins - Alexander Just keeping up with Farrell is worth something x Michael Caine - Around The Bend He's still Michael Caine to me Kevin Costner - Upside of Anger The return of that Silverado guy, 20 years older?. Rodrigo De La Serna - The Motorcycle Diaries A virtual unknown giving a tremendous performence Dustin Hoffman - Meet The Fockers Fock yes! Jude Law - The Aviator So many roles.... how will they pick? Peter O'Toole - Troy The great one is great again... but not a home hit Owen Wilson - The Life Aquatic What? Surprises happen!
