PREDICTIONS BY: CLAYTON DAVIS
|
|
And the The Predicted Five Are...(in order)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jeff Goldblum-
Morning Glory
|
|
Samuel L. Jackson-
Mother and Child
|
|
|
Giovanni Ribisi-
The Rum Diary
|
|
FOR HIM:
This is an actor who has
done solid work over the
years and has never been
recognized, not even a
Golden Globe. No award as
a matter of fact. It's time to
change that...maybe?
|
|
FOR HIM:
He just hasn't gotten the
right role (meaning
mainstream enough) to get
noticed.
|
|
FOR HIM:
Cause we all remember
how close it was in 94' for
Pulp Fiction. With a decent
bunch of ladies, is Jackson
worthy enough?
|
|
FOR HIM:
He's already received rave
reviews coming out of
Toronto last year. His loss
for Lost in Translation may
still hurt some.
|
|
FOR HIM:
Underrated actor (in the
realm of Sam Rockwell).
Opposite Johnny Depp may
do the trick.
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
Depends on the nature of
the role and how big it is.
Maybe he hasn't been
recognized for a reason.
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
It needs to be critical hit.
He's also co-starring with
Harrison Ford who might
overshadow.
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
It may be all about the
ladies.
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
His previous Oscar night
visit when he lost to Sean
Penn may still be
remembered.
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
It may be the Johnny Depp
Show.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mark Ruffalo-
The Kids Are All Right
|
|
Donald Sutherland-
The Eagle of the Ninth
|
|
Joseph Gordon-Levitt-
Inception
|
|
Jeffrey Dean Morgan-
All Good Things
|
|
Bill Pullman-
The Killer Inside Me
|
|
FOR HIM:
He builds a lot of buzz for
himself at the beginning of
a year but never sustains.
Along with his work in
Shutter Island, maybe its
time for a change.
|
|
FOR HIM:
A serious veteran actor
who has not gotten his
proper due yet. Oscar
should keep an eye on him
this year.
|
|
FOR HIM:
Some say he missed for
(500) Days of Summer.
He's ripening and could find
himself at Oscar's
ceremony soon.
|
|
FOR HIM:
Remember how good he
was in Watchmen? This is
a guy to watch for to get
really big and soon.
|
|
FOR HIM:
Another actor who hasn't
been embraced yet. This is
the category for just that.
|
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
May just be a popcorn flick,
it stars Channing Tatum.
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
Not big enough role.
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
Needs to be a knockout to
get critics on his side.
|
|
AGAINST HIM:
Small role it seems.
