Christian Bale for The Fighter - Bale is one of those actors who are very overdue for an Oscar nomination, specially when he has such a great body of work with amazing performances in every movie he does (Empire of the Sun (1987), Little Women (1994), American Psycho (2000), The Machinist (2004), Batman Begins (2005), The New World (2005), The Prestige (2006), I'm Not There (2007), 3:10 to Yuma (2007) and The Dark Knight (2008)). He has the talent, he has the previous critical acclaim, he's well-known, he's overdue for an Oscar and he plays a boxer in The Fighter: he has everything to get a nod for Best Supporting Actor this year if the movie will received critical praise. Did you ever see The Fighter movie trailers? Bale seems simply amazing, his performance seems something that I never saw from him! I think the Academy should recognize such an amazing actor and don't snub him, again...
Andrew Garfield for The Social Network - Garfield is becoming a well-known face in the cinema industry, specially after this year. He wasn't already a strange face for the British audiences, but after the acclaimed Never Let Me Go and, mostly, David Fincher's The Social Network, Garfield is raising as a big promise for the cinema. His performance in The Social Network gave him raves from the critics and the Hollywood Award of Breakthrough Actor (also for his performance in Never Let Me Go), which makes Garfield a serious Oscar contender. Plus, he benefits from the "OSCAR FAVORITE TO BEST PICTURE" factor because of the Facebook movie and there's also another reason that the Academy may have to nominate him: he will be the next Peter Parker in the upcoming untitled Spider-man reboot and the Academy may want to recognize him before he becomes globaly famous. At the moment, Garfield is a strong contender to a nod.
Mark Ruffalo for The Kids Are All Right - with such an highly praised reception, The Kids Are All Right seems to become the responsible movie for some of the best reviews that some actors have ever received and one of them is Mark Ruffalo. In fact, Ruffalo is another Oscar overdue actor and it seems that, this year, the Academy will recognize some actors and actresses that were snubed in the past. According with all the critics in general, Ruffalo delivers an ordinary performance as a sperm donnator who estabilished contact with his unknown sons who live with their lesbian mums. He has a great body of work, is a very capable actor and made part of THE indie movie of this Summer, so an Oscar nod is very well-deserved.
Geoffrey Rush for The King's Speech - In The King's Speech, Rush plays the king's speech therapist, having a kind of co-leading role in this one. Critics loved his performance, like all the cast's in general, but Rush's character is a really showy one and a kind of funny scene-stealer and it seems that his chemistry with Colin Firth is great too. In fact, Rush was already recognized by the Academy, so it can be great for him in the way that he's already loved by the voters, so he'll get a nod, at least. He also benefits from the movie's sucess in the way that it is a BIG contender for a Best Picture win alongside The Social Network. A nod seems guaranteed for Mr. Rush.
Justin Timberlake for The Social Network - the Academy loves when famous singers deliver a good performance on big screen and Justin Timberlake's role in David Fincher's The Social Network is a scene-stealing one and the Academy loves it even more! The reviews about Timberlake's performance are great and he seems to have everything to get a nomination, including all the media attentions. Plus, his character is a kind of villain and the Academy loves bad guys. The Social Network will score another nomination thanks to Timberlake, that's almost sure!
