Who wrote this?
Who are you rooting for this year?
My recent post Jake Gyllenhaal Appreciation Post
My big ones this year are Gravity for best film, Bullock for Actress, and Hanks for Actor. I haven't seen 12 Years A Slave yet, so Chiwetel's performance in that might sneak in.
Ah, the Golden Globes, typically a strong key indicator for the Oscar favourites. You still think Tom Hanks is the shoe-in for the Best Actor Oscar after this? Reread the nominees, and perhaps you'll see who he's lost it to…
Just remember, everybody loves a hero…
I"m still putting money on Hanks, although the race is really close this year. The only real competition he has is Chiwetel Ejiofor, whose work in 12 Years A Slave is what you'd term "a breakout". The rest of the guys here I think (and I feel bad for saying this) are just making up the numbers. And if Robert Redford gets an Oscar nom out of All Is Lost, it'll be a career Oscar much like Sandra Bullock's was for The Blind Side.
And, if I was a betting man, I'd be having a small wager on Barkhad Abdi for his role in Captain Phillips. My review for that film comes up in February, and I remember writing that I think Abdi actual out-acts Hanks in many respects.
