The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are Christian Bale for The Fighter, John Hawkes for Winter’s Bone, Jeremy Renner for The Town, Mark Ruffalo for The Kids Are All Right, and Geoffrey Rush for The King’s Speech. Christian Bale has won every critic award out there, so he will win. The dark horse here is Geoffrey Rush, but that’s unlikely.
The Nominees for Best Supporting Actress are Amy Adams for The Fighter, Helena Bonham Carter for The King’s Speech, Melissa Leo, for The Fighter, Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit, and Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom). Melissa Leo is the favorite to win, but watch out for Hailee Steinfeld. Personally she’s my pick for the award, because she gave a wonderful performance and her own against veteran actors like Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon. However, she is still young and the academy doesn’t tend to give out awards for first time actors. The only way Melissa Leo would lose is if vote splitting occurs between her and Amy Adams. If that happens then it could be Steinfeld’s name called on Oscar night.
Stay Tuned for Part III
