Well it is the third anniversary of Best Actor, and I thought I might as well take a look at the performances that will return me to an official year.
The lead actor might be called the odd man out. Besides Daniel Day-Lewis any one of these actors could fall in favor of another. Not one of the other five are safe entirely it seems. One has to miss but who. Right now I will say Phoenix, but anyone besides honest Abe could lose out, maybe even two if Trintignant or Gere could show up just to spoil things for someone else. Although at the moment I would not count on those two.
Supporting Actor seems a little easier.
Sag could easily line up but five previous Oscar winners have never been nominated in this category before, not even five previous nominees.
Well maybe it could be five previous nominees instead, if the academy decides to trade one villain for another.
Again only previous winners, and two of them playing similar roles to their winning roles, it seems unlikely but this year it could happen.
I do not think the first four are locks. Jones is. The rest ehh likely but not assured. Also I do feel a new nominees could appear maybe Dwight Henry or Eddie Redmayne although I would not put my money on them for the moment. Even a surprise like Samuel L. Jackson could happen.
I must say one thing I do love about this year is how many previous winners and nominees are in the running leaving both the winners and nominees in question, which is the way I like things.
