Dark Horse: Ryan Coogler – Fruitvale Station
Best Actress
- Cate Blanchett – Blue Jasmine
- The nomination’s been a lock since the film’s release.
- Emma Thompson – Saving Mr. Banks
- Banks has gotten pretty much no traction, but Thompson should still be safe.
- Sandra Bullock – Gravity
- Gets all the screen time, and the academy does like to see it's nominees suffer on screen.
- Judi Dench – Philomena
- It's Judi Dench. She doesn't need any "traction" to get nominated.
- Meryl Streep – August: Osage County
- When
it comes to predicting Oscar nominations, always bet on Streep.
Alternate:
Julie Delpy – Before Midnight
Sleeper: Adèle Exarchopoulos

Dark
Horse: Brie Larson – Short Term 12
Best Actor
- Chiwetel Ejifor – 12 Years a Slave
- Perennially underrated actor who goes through tons of suffering.
- Robert Redford – All is Lost
- Well respected actor in a one man survival story. Still,surprisingly little momentum right now.
- Matthew McConaughey – Dallas Buyers Club
- Physical transformation. Playing a real person. Playing a real person who gets AIDS.
- Tom Hanks – Captain Phillips
- The final scene of the movie should lock up another nomination for Hanks.
- Bruce Dern – Nebraska
- Super
well respected actor.
Alternate: Leonardo DiCaprio – The Wolf of Wall Street
Sleeper: Joaquin Phoenix - Her
Dark Horse: Michael B. Jordan - Fruitvale Station
Best Supporting Actor
- Michael Fassbander – 12 Years a Slave
- Get’s to be multiple kinds of evil. Academy loves villains in this category.
- Jared Leto – Dallas Buyers Club
- Playing a real person. Physical transformation.
- Barkhad Abdi– Captain Phillips
- Pretty much the co-lead of the movie. Really strong performance, too.
- Jonah Hill – The Wolf of Wall Street
- The buzz is really strong here. Still, too many people seem to dislike the movie...
Tom Hanks – Saving Mr. BanksBradley Cooper - American HustleAcademy may want to avoid a double nomination. But, it is Tom Hanks as Walt Disney…+600 bonus points- Hustle has all the momentum right now, so Cooper gets swept up in the tide.
Alternate:
Bradley Cooper – American Hustle
Sleeper:
Will Forte – Nebraska Daniel Bruhl - Rush
Dark Horse: David Oyelowo – Lee Daniels’ The Butler
Best Supporting Actress
- Oprah Winfrey – Lee Daniels’ The Butler
- It’s freaking Oprah. Or so I thought earlier. She's not a lock.
- Lupita Nyong’o – 12 Years a Slave
- Academy uses this category to reward unknown actors. Gets the most tragic character.
- Julia Roberts – August: Osage County
- Just a hunch here that Roberts’ star power will lead to a nomination. Very shaky ground right now.
- Jennifer Lawrence – American Hustle
- Jennifer Lawrence is unstoppable (and apparently the best thing about the movie) The only sure thing.
- Octavia Spencer – Fruitvale Station
- I
feel the Academy’s going to want to give at least one acting nomination to the
movie.
