Actor
|
PREDICTED WINNER |
 |
JAMIE FOXX
"Ray" |
FOR HIM |
AGAINST HIM |
- He is the real star of the moment - Media Darling - SAG, BAFTA, GG, BFCA - Everything |
- Nothing? - Since he has been the frontrunner since ever there might be some people to see another contender winning. |
||
|
WHY |
|||
| What else can we say about this race? If Jamie Foxx looses it will surely be one of the biggest upsets ever in Oscar History. His closest contender is Clint Eastwood who received 3 nods this year and Academy might want to recognize him in acting since he has never won an Acting Oscar. Leonardo DiCaprio is a distant third and Johnny Depp and Don Cheadle should be happy for having been nominated. | |||
| WILL WIN | JAMIE FOXX | ||
| SHOULD WIN | LEONARDO DICAPRIO | ||
SPOILER |
 |
Clint Eastwood
"Million Dollar Baby" |
FOR HIM |
AGAINST HIM |
|
- Clint Eastwood is THE man - Big hype around his movie - He directed it, produced it and was the leading actor - He has never won an acting Oscar before |
- Jamie Foxx - While he hasn't won an Acting Oscar before he is already an Oscar Winner - Lack of precursor attention |
DARK HORSE |
 |
Leonardo DiCaprio
"The Aviator" |
FOR HIM |
AGAINST HIM |
|
- GG win - Being the leading actor of the most nominated movie of the year and a BP frontrunner. |
- Jamie Foxx - There are still some people that can't buy him as a serious actor. |
