Oscar Nominees: Best Actor in a Leading Role
My predictions: 4/5, choosing Hirsch over Jones, but only at the last minute!!
I am so mad at myself. Let the record show that I had Jones in my top five for so long and totally saw his nomination coming but got cold feet at the last minute. My only comfort is that I would not have gone 5/5 anyway because I would have wishfully swapped out Clooney instead of Hirsch, whose film took a major beating, earning only two nominations. It is nice to see that someone can still pull off a nomination despite snubs every step out of the way (see also: Best Actress). Mortensen, and Jones for that matter, are the only representatives from their respective films with nominations.
My current bet to win: Day-Lewis
