Post Best Actor 2010
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.

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

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.

Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

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.

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.
