Bana had a praised performance for Troy last year while the film was nothing short of a big epic dud. This time the film is almost garunteed masterpiece status and if he pulls something wonderful out of his hat again, we can expect a nomination. |

Depp has quickly become the big Oscar favorite that he should have been when he started in this business. I'm betting for a hat trick with nominations and if the performance is incredible he might just win that deserved Oscar. |

One of the best actors living who has stayed in the background of Oscar town for a while. He has three prestige pics this year one being The White Countess and one other Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The latter of which he plays the antagonist Lord Voldemort. He'll be in our minds for this entire year. |

Viggo is a wonderful actor. He's got a high rating on the star meter now after his Lord of the Rings run and deservedly so. Now there's talk of Oscar. Though David Cronenberg is very rarely well received by the Academy this seems to be one of those films that you just can't pass up. |
Viggo Mortensen-A History of Violence

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is known as one of the best actors of his generation, but he hasn't really been recognized by Oscar yet. He may finally get that deserved Oscar with the film that many are calling a wonderful tribute to the late Truman Capote. |
