I feel like we didn't see the same film.
Maybe. I still haven't seen SLP, but I totally see where you're coming from as far as Arkin is concerned. DiCaprio is a big question mark as well. This category is still definitely very fluid. Much more so than Supporting Actress.
I was thoroughly unimpressed but O. Russell is good at getting his actors nominations so I'm obviously not removing the possibility.
Pit would great/insane if it ended up being TLJ/Hoffman/Henry/McConaughey/Redmayne.
I don't see Henry happening. He seems like someone who hits all of the precursor but misses the big one (i.e. the Oscar).

Considering all the vets in this category, it would be. But, I wouldn't mind it. As long as TLJ wins.Pit would great/insane if it ended up being TLJ/Hoffman/Henry/McConaughey/Redmayne.
What are you talking about? He is ineligible for SAG, and HFPA is just... not going to go there. If anything, he makes more sense as a surprise nominee who failed to show up anywhere.
Lol, I guess you're right. They only way I see him getting in, is if BotSW makes a splash on nomination morning. I see more of a DeNiro/Hoffman/TLJ/Redmayne line-up with the 5th slot being a toss up between Crowe, the unseen DiCaprio, and Arkin if they want to give Argo an acting nod.

LMAO.
The only thing THR has to say about Jason Clarke is...
Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal's "Hurt Locker" followup tells the story of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and stars Jessica Chastain and Jason Clarke.
I can't wait to read his final Oscar vote.
Right after he watches HOMELAND.

Okay, I saw Silver Linings Playbook a few hours ago, and seriously, DeNiro is in. This is not based on my reaction, but that of my parents (who are in their mid-50's). They're slightly younger than the average Academy voter, but still, they both mentioned DeNiro, not Lawrence or Cooper, was the standout, and my dad says this is the best DeNiro performance he's seen since the 90's (and my dad really likes DeNiro). This is horribly anecdotal, I know, but people have been yearning for DeNiro to turn back on, to stop cashing in and phoning in, and bring it, and people seem to think he brings it in SLP. I wouldn't call him locked, but I have confidence it'll happen, to the point that I think it's the second most likely nomination for the film after Picture.
Also, he has SO MANY OSCAR CLIP TYPE SCENES.
DeNiro 2nd most likely after Picture? As in Picture is MOST likely to happen...then DeNiro..
Before Lawrence...
....
Will Oscar have Riva Fever?
Howard went to go see a romantic comedy with his parents?

I know I've got a big ego, I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though.
Can we have a new poll, or should we wait until we may hear anything more on Jason Clarke?
It just seems like a lot of people (including myself) are starting to predict Redmayne.
Because you're crazy. If ya'll want new polls, do 'em quick because the podcast recording is later today.
I don't want to step on WOV's turf.
W_O_V is in charge of the polls, we'll leave the decision to him. We're only a week away from the end of the month, though he might want to do a pre-NY/NBR poll. We'll see.

Erik, you must tell Sasha (and the WORLD) about Eddie "DSL" Redmayne.
