Oscar Nominees: Best Actor in a Leading Role

My predictions: 4/5, picking Duvall over Bardem
My ballot: Come back next week!
The nominees: Javier Bardem (Biutiful), Jeff Bridges (Get Low), Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), Colin Firth (The King’s Speech), James Franco (127 Hours)

So Javier Bardem did make it in! Good for him. Duvall gets snubbed, Bridges makes the cut, and then we have our final three. (No Gosling, sorry Stacy!) A good, strong list, though I would swap out Bridges, who now contends for the second time against Firth, and certainly isn’t going to beat him this time around.

My current bet to win: Firth
