The nominees:
TOM HANKS, CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR
RYAN GOSLING, LARS AND THE REAL GIRL
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN, THE SAVAGES
JOHNNY DEPP, SWEENEY TODD
JOHN C. REILLY, WALK HARD
My predictions: 3/5, missing Hoffman and Reilly for Seth Rogen and Don Cheadle.
Is this some sort of joke? John C. Reilly is a fine actor but this performance is horrendous! How anyone could vote for him over an actual impressive semi-serious comic performance (Seth Rogen, Michael Cera) is beyond me. And Philip Seymour Hoffman as the lone nominee for "The Savages" feel very weird. It was the weakest of his three performances of the year (he did get another nomination for "Charlie Wilson's War") and Laura Linney was the strongest one in the film. I guess they really like him.
Who will win? If Reilly wins, it will have to be one of those turn-off-the-TV scenarios. I think Depp has one in the bag, though people really loved Gosling in "Lars and the Real Girl".
