BEST ACTOR
Actor - Film
Comment
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
Jeff Bridges - The Door In The Floor A well-liked industry guy who shows his ass here... literally. A tremendous performance
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.
Tom Cruise - Collateral Terrific movie... terrific performance... could be written off as "too commercial"
Johnny Depp - Finding Neverland A very small film, but a very popular actor
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
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?
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

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Actor - Film
Comment
Rodrigo De La Serna - The Motorcycle Diaries A virtual unknown giving a tremendous performence
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/Proof Keeping up with the blondes (Farrell & Paltrow) is worth something
x
Jim Broadbent - Vanity Fair
He's always great and now an Academy fave.
Michael Caine - The Weatherman One of another series of strong roles for Caine
Kevin Costner - Upside of Anger Nicholson's Terms Of Endearment Role Redux?.
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
