David Strathairn for Lincoln is the only one I can predict with any confidence at this point and you guys don't even mention him! Apart from DDL, his part is the meatiest by far, very respected guy, previous nominee etc. I'm a little stunned that you didn't predict him actually. Apart from DiCaprio (who would be my second one) I think Samuel Jackson has a great shot at being nominated for Django. From the script alone his role is probably the best of all and he is sorely in need of some Academy love.

Not gonna lie never heard of Song For Marion but you guys seem to think Stamp and Redgrave could get traction for it. Might need to look into it

The Domhnall Gleeson (two l's, Oliver!) mention kind of delights me because he's been consistently great in the last few years, and with the way Joe Wright's been talking about Anna Karenina, it sounds like they're keeping true to the spirit of the book with Levin's story being a reflection of Anna's. The media focus of course is on the starrier and more famous half of the story/cast, but his part could be very compelling. Good call!

I wonder if Pearce uglies up at all for "The Wettest County". The character as described in the novel is pretty fug, and we all know how the Academy loves good-looking actors who cover it up. (And "The Road" already demonstrated his willingness to do that for Hillcoat.)

It is highly possible for Samantha Banks & Anne Hathaway ( I heard her audition for her role was absolutely sensational beating out Amy Adams & Jessica Biel ) to be both nominated. This year both Octavia Spenser & Jessica Chastain were both nominated for " The Help." And , the year before , Melissa Leo & Amy Adams were also nominated together for , " The Fighter ."

It would be cool to see Russell Crowe, Sally Fields , & Albert Brooks comeback with Oscar nominations. Even though I feel Crowe doesn't have the singing chops to sing theatre songs. What about the love for Joseph Gordon Levitt ?

Also in the mix:

Robert De Niro in The Silver Linings Playbook (playing a charismatic, yet funny and eccentric dad)
James Gandolfini in Not Fade Away (playing a father in conflict with his son's dreams)
Kristin Scott-Thomas in Only God Forgives (playing against-type as a crazy mob boss)

And Ryan Gosling is only supporting in The Place Beyond the Pines; Bradley Cooper is definitely more the lead of the two.

Is there a link anywhere for their premature predictions for the supporting acting races? I can't find it

God DAMN if Leo DiCaprio doesn't get a statue soon. Him and Gary Oldman both just fucking need to be given one. Even if it's just someone saying "hey, we had one of these left over after the last show, thought you'd like to have it."

Being a mostly subjective narrative following Phoenix as Freddie Sutton, it's hard to imagine a successful push for Hoffman as Best Actor even if he is the bigger name. Don't do a Gangs of New York. Push the actors in their respective categories. Phoenix for Best Actor, Hoffman for Best Supporting. Hoffman can win that category & maybe Phoenix can relaunch his career with a nom/win.

Am I crazy for considering Anne Hathaway in TDKR? Yep, I am. No need to confirm. Maybe if it were someone else… Rachel Weiz? What about Marion Cotilard in TDKR? Is that as cray cray? By the way, I love these prediction articles. Keep up the good work Playlisters!

Olga Kurylenko said in an interview in the french magazine "NumÃ©ro" this month that she has a lead part in the Untitled Malick project saying she was on set every day for 2 months in a half, week-ends included… She could be in the lead actress category…

Scoot McNairy for Coogan's Trade could be a possibility. And what about Christolph Waltz for Django Unchained. Is that a lead or supporting part?

re: Vanessa Redgrave's lack of a nomination for Coriolanus. I don't think it can be explained with a vague "mixed reception" for the film. A 90+ Rotten Tomatoes score is not "mixed". Even when the film wasn't praised, Redgrave was. Frankly I think it has more to do with Harvey Weinstein putting all of his eggs into one Artist-sized basket. He bought the film with an eye toward awards contention but then gave it very little support. It sounds like her 2012 role will be more Academy voter friendly but if she's nominated this year it will be at least in part to write the wrong of 2011.

I think DiCaprio will be victorious. Joaquin Phoenix will be a very strong second. The buzz surrounding Russell Crowe is very new to me, although I do not doubt his screen presence. With his singing and brilliant acting, he might as well get nominated.

As I posted elsewhere under a similar Playlist blog post:

Gina Gershon and Juno Temple are both extraordinary in "Killer Joe." Whether they Academy will be able to stomach, let alone reward, such scabrous material remains to be seen, but both of those ladies will deservedly be part of the conversation next year.

I'm really hoping Cloud Atlas isn't a shit show and that Ben Whishaw picks up a supporting nom. Though the film is so stacked with Oscar Winnera I doubt they would campaign for him.

Amy Adams is actually a THREE time nominee (Junebug/Doubt/Fighter) not a TWO time nominee. Just so u know.
