Ken Watanabe - Letters From Iwo Jima	A great performance of quiet charm and power
Peter O'Toole - Venus (GG)	A great legend
Sacha Baron Cohen - Borat (GG/Comedy)	EDITED 2p: Fox has changed their mind and is shipping to AMPAS... so... we'll see whether a late campaign means much... Earlier - Fox won't send screeners... Sacha won't talk... Fox will see this great opportunity die
