BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

Nominees

Updated: 1/27/12

1. Christopher Plummer
(Beginners) 		2. Kenneth Branagh
(My Week With Marilyn) 		3. Nick Nolte
(Warrior) 		4. Max von Sydow
(Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close) 		5. Jonah Hill
(Moneyball)
I've had him here ALL year, and rightfully so. The best supporting performance of the year will hopefully be rewarded on February 26th. I think he is the only logical runner up. Since Albert Brooks was snubbed, this race has gotten considerably less exciting. This year's comeback story is Nick Nolte. He brought us a brilliant, touching performance and he's being rewarded with a nomination. EL&IC got a lot of (unexpected) love from AMPAS and this is a prime example. He was absent from the critics' prizes, but managed a nomination here. Pretty impressive. I love that Jonah Hill was recognized by the academy. He turned out a great performance and is one of the youngest nominees this year!

Maybe Next Time...
