Yeah, I can't believe I'm saying this, but for the moment Cooper is in second place I think.
DDL is winning so easily, especially now that the 2-5 position guys are all feeling vulnerable.
I agree with this. 2-6 are all kind of interchangeable at this point (one of them will just end up getting left off), but it'll take something crazy at this point to beat DDL.Originally Posted by kitkat
*The Academy will probably elect these actors:
Bradley Cooper
Daniel Day-Lewis
Denzel Washington
Joaquin Phoenix (Wonder if his interview where he expressed not the most lovely things about campaigning hurt his chances)
John Hawkes (the man suffered permanent physical/internal damage for the role. Hope he gets some recognition)
*I want these actors (for now):
Jean-Louis Trintignant
John Hawkes
Bradley Cooper
Daniel Day-Lewis
Joaquin Phoenix
*Wildcard: I know this is extremely unlikely to happen but Logan Lerman shocked me in 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'. I had no clue he was such a good actor.
I'm starting to think that Cooper will win the Globe, and that he's a lock for an Oscar nomination.
I guess Jackman is now vulnerable?
Can Cooper and Lawrence pull an As Good as It Gets this year?
Obviously I'm kidding. But I'm glad to see that more people here are predicting him.
I assume Cooper will win in the Comedy/Musical category, while Lewis will take Drama.
sorry fists, but guany has it right.

Remember when everyone bashed Dirk for suggesting Les Miz might flop and Hugh Jackman might lose the comedy Globe? Well....
A few days ago I asked "Is it possible that Cooper defeats Jackman for the Globe? Or does the HFPA's love for starry, lavish, high-budget productions make that impossible?"
This category is starting to look oddly weak. I don't see a lot of passion for Hawkes, Washington, or Cooper. Phoenix seems to want people to dislike him. Will DDL just bulldoze everyone on his 3rd way to the podium and make this another Best Actress 2006 - where the same 5 people showed up everywhere, but the same person won everything? Queen Elizabeth & President Lincoln are both Very Big Biopic Roles.

and they never let me down. Try to get ‘em away from me and I’ll eat you alive.
I think so. Up til the reactions to Les Mis, I thought Jackman was the only one with a chance at it, and now that seems to have gone.

Um, wut?
Ann Dowd has a better chance of getting a Best Actor nod than Jake Gyllenhaal.
I mean, that would be awesome, but Gyllenhaal is unfortunately not in contention.
Neither was Birchir...until he was. Many of the contenders are falling like flies. I think the fact that the movie is being re-released is a good sign for Pena and Gyllenhaal. I'm predicting them both now.I mean, that would be awesome, but Gyllenhaal is unfortunately not in contention.
Good one. After seeing the movie, i can't see how he or Pena misses. Jackman's response is lukewarm. Waltz is seen more as supporting than lead, the campaign for THE MASTER seems lukewarm at best. So, I'll wait to see on nomination morning.
Are they really? Sure, Hugh Jackman isn't the lock some expected him to be, but this category still has six very strong contenders. All of which wouldn't have any trouble being nominated in a more open year. Jake was great in the movie but he couldn't even manage an Independent Spirt Nomination. I cant imagine how he will breakthrough in a category like this. Open Road seems to be pushing Michael Pena more anyway as he's the only one with the Oscar buzz.
