Re: Brad Pitt or Richard Jenkins? Pitt, though it would be nicer to see Jenkins get a nomination.

Re: Brad Pitt or Richard Jenkins? Brad Pitt. Riding the Ben Button wave, I don't see him not getting in... Jenkins got some early attention (and deservedly so - he was very good in The Visitor), but his chances have pretty much died out in the past few weeks.

Re: Brad Pitt or Richard Jenkins? I think Jenkins, just like how Ryan Gosling scored a nod for an indie with Half Nelson. He's a respected character actor who a lot of AMPAS have probably worked with in some form. Plus, as praised as Benjamin Button has been in some circles, I feel like Pitt's acting really hasn't been that singled out or anything.

Re: Brad Pitt or Richard Jenkins? Pitt riding on the Benjamin Button wave of support.

Re: Brad Pitt or Richard Jenkins? I'm predicting Jenkins over Pitt. Benjamin Button can't be nominated everywhere, and Pitt is so restrained in the role that I could see them passing over him. Granted, Jenkins gives a very subtle performance as well, but he does have one big emotional scene (and I'm betting that will be the clip they play if he is nominated), and as a long-working character actor who has worked with a lot of people, I think he has more support behind him than the precursors have indicated.
The fifth slot is definitely down to them. Rourke, Penn, and Langella are obvious locks, and while I wouldn't bet 100% on Eastwood, it's pretty likely that he will be in.

Re: Brad Pitt or Richard Jenkins? If you're going safe, go with Pitt.
I'm going with Jenkins.

Re: Brad Pitt or Richard Jenkins? Funny that Jenkins easily won the WOKJ consensus, yet loses this poll. How?

Re: Brad Pitt or Richard Jenkins? Curious Case has a certain sheen and luster about it, moreso than The Visitor that was seemingly released in 1998.
