Predicted 5
Casey Affleck - The Assassination of Jesse James...
While landing the right amount of precurser attention, he is set to get that acting nomination that has always alluded his big brother.
Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men
The nomination is assured. The only question that remains for Bardem is when he'll win it.
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Charlie Wilson's War
The SAG snub did raise a few eyebrows, but I think the Academy will want to reward him for such a stellar year. Plus, he's the most memorable thing about the film.
Hal Holbrook - Into the Wild
Sentimentalism and old Hollywood will be on his side, and who knows, that might bring him a ridiculus win like Arkin had last year.
.
Tom Wilkinson - Michael Clayton
Much like Holbrook, older voters will appreciate his inspiring performace. He's safe.
Possible Upset
Paul Dano - There Will Be Blood
Daniel Day-Lewis has been guzzling most of the buzz, but if another performer from this film were to be recognized, it is Dano, especially coming off of his success from Little Miss Sunshine last year. However, I don't expect him to make the cut, but I think he 's got the best chance over anyone else for making a difference
