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. I think the Academy should recognize such an amazing actor and don't snub him, again...
John Hawkes for Winter's Bone - an worldwide almost unknown face (I'm not including his appearance in LOST TV series), John Hawkes experienced a critical acclaim for his performance has a criminal young girl's uncle in the highly praised indie drama Winter's Bone. In fact, he may not be THE movie's shinning star (which is Jennifer Lawrence) but he surely shines alongside her and the Academy love criminals as I love French fries. But this year's Best Supporting Actor Oscar race has very strong other contenders and I wouldn't be surprised at all if other name would appear instead of John Hawkes.
Bill Murray for Get Low - Mr. Murray didn't get higly praised reviews since his Oscar nominee performance in Lost In Translation until the day Get Low released. In fact, playing the owner of the local funeral parlor that sees an opportunity for earning when a man demands a "living funeral" for himself, gave him raves and an early Oscar buzz for the Best Supporting category. He is most known as a comedy actor, but Bill Murray knows how to act in less funny roles without being believable. I think that the Academy won't thow away the chance of giving another nod to an "almost-legendary-actor" and I would do the same.
Mark Ruffalo for The Kids Are All Right - with such a 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.
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 seems a scene-stealing one and the Academy loves it even more! Early reviews of the "Facebook movie" suggest that all the acting in general is very good and Timberlake may have his Oscar chance after getting some praise for his performance in Alpha Dog. I wouldn't be surprised if he will be one of the Oscar nominees for this year's Oscar of Best Supporting Actor.
in consideration: Andrew Garfield (The Social Network); Sam Rockwell (Conviction); Geoffrey Rush (The King's Speech);
