We've got three locks at this point:

James Franco (127 Hours)
Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network)
Colin Firth (The King's Speech).


Jeff Bridges has a great shot too for True Grit....but the fifth spot...no clue. Probably something we really don't expect right now. Maybe Kevin Spacey?!

Dorff
Duvall
Eisenberg
Firth
Franco
ALTERNATES: Bardem, Gosling, Wahlberg

The 5th spot is so unclear at this point, but right now I'll give it to good-underdog-story/Hollywood-friendly-role Dorff.

Eh, you don't see much love for True Grit, hm?

I don't see Jesse Eisenberg being a lock yet, just Franco and Firth.

Hmm, I think many reviews ae praising him and with all the love for the film, he's gotta make it?

I mean how many BP nominated biopics ae there without the main character whom the biopic is about being nominated as well?

Eh, I should've listed him as an alternate. My bad.

I do wonder if the role is "too same, too soon" next to his grizzled-cowboy turn in Crazy Heart.

Hmm, Franco and Firth will have a Rourke/Penn 2008-like close race this year, I think.

I'm starting to doubt Eisenberg and lean:

Bardem
Duvall
Firth
Franco
Wahlberg
Runner-up: Bridges

Eh, I doubt Wahlberg and I am not yet completely sold on Duvall yet.

Based on the current buzz I don't see it. Franco certainly looks like a strong second but I think Firth has a huge advantage here. 127 hours would have to basically sweep awards season for Franco to take the lead, and with Social Network and KS as strong contenders I don't see that happening.

This is Colin Firth's year! :cheer:

He deserved to win last year, IMO.

It's Bardem (BAFTA nom) vs. Duvall (SAG nom, BFCA nom) vs. Gosling (Globes nom, BFCA nom) for the final spot.

A nom for Wahlberg would be quite a shocking surprise, IMO. Similar to Eastwood getting a nod for Million Dollar Baby.

Yeah, I'd be ready to predict it to win Picture if it did that, was nominated for Director/Editing and won SAG.

I could see Wahlberg getting a nomination. The Fighter has a lot of support and he was instrumental in getting it made in the first place.

I would love my noms to become reality.

If there's any justice Wahlberg shall get nowhere near this award.

As long as Jeff bridges gets in I will be content I suppose.

Given The King's Speech resounding support this morning, I'd say Colin Firth is more of a lock than Natalie Portman is! Though both are very close to locks.

He is. Portman still has Bening to deal with.
