More Oscar Contest: Best Supporting Actor
Our Oscar contest continues, with today’s category being Best Supporting Actor.
All you have to do is correctly predict the winner in each category we present. And to do so, you comment on these blog posts we’ll do all week. Whoever gets the most categories right will win a DVD of the Best Picture Oscar nominee of their choice.
Remember, this is not who you want to win, but who you think WILL win.
We have already covered Best Actor and Best Actress - votes in all categories will be taken until the start of the show at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Christian Bale, The Fighter: Bale once again amazed with his chameleon-like abilities. He was utterly convincing as a gaunt crackhead, making it easy to forget he was Batman. The question is, are people ready to forgive his sometimes boorish behavior? I think so.
John Hawkes, Winter’s Bone: Hawkes impressed many with his haunting turn as Jennifer Lawrence’s Uncle. But the film is remembered primarily as Lawrence’s vehicle.
Jeremy Renner, The Town: Renner is on a roll, having been nominated last year for his similar live-wire performance in The Hurt Locker. However, The Town did not fare that well in the nominations.
Mark Ruffalo, The Kids are All Right: He’s immensely winning as a man who tries to connect with the biological children he’s never known. He’s been doing good work for years, so he’s due — but this role may not be hefty enough.
Geoffrey Rush, The King’s Speech: Riotously funny but still maintaining gravitas when needed. Rush shares the success of his movie with Colin Firth. I think he’s the person most likely to upset Bale, but one must remember he’s already a winner, for the film “Shine.”
