The Nominees Are: Leonardo DiCaprio- Blood Diamond, Ryan Gosling- Half Nelson, Peter O’Toole- Venus, Will Smith- The Pursuit of Happiness, Forest Whitaker- The Last King of Scotland
Who’s Missing: Honestly I think two men were robbed of nominations yet one of them still got one. Leo’s performance in The Departed was a truly outstanding piece of work. Some have argued that it’s more of a supporting role but I’d argue he’s the character the audience invests the most attention in and that should qualify him as leading. Then of course there is Clive Owen. I’ve never seen Clive Owen give a bad performance and in Children of Men he gives a superb one. From the moment his washed up character walks into the London coffee shop Owen commands your complete attention.
Who Should Win: I haven’t seen any of these performances so I’m going to pull for O’Toole just because I like a good drunk.
Who Will Win: Forrest Whitaker will continue to take any suspense out of the acting candidates by continuing his run this award season.
