Final Predictions, Best Supporting Actor Predictions (Jan 2012, Last Picks).mov

Where the Supporting Ladies were all newcomers, here are the Veterans battling it out. Old pill popping drunks, funny, compelling, good ole dudes we've known our entire lives - well my entire life anyway. Plus one newbie - Jonah Hill. Who gives an outstanding / understated performance in MONEYBALL. I think him and Brad's chemistry was the couple of the year. I loved MONEYBALL, yes I loved MONEYBALL - the sports film. It's the film from this past year that you're going to watch a gal-zillion times when it's on cable - like A SOCIAL NETWORK - you can just have it on in the background while you're cruising cock online and pick up little things you missed the time before.
Now Nick Nolte, good god, bless his heart, back in the game. Love those damaged old drunks that come back for one more... to take a date fifty years his junior - make the rounds - get loaded up one last time. He is a fantastic actor. One of the best cops ever on film in 48 HOURS. So vulnerable in THE PRINCE OF TIDES. I'm happy he's back and ten years his senior Christopher Plummer. Who's dominated this category all year and I think will take home the gold and I'm sure say sweet things about his younger competitors. What a class act. Elegant and funny and heartbreaking as the aging/dying newly gay old love in THE BEGINNERS. Albert Brooks may finally get the message - that he's much better in other directors films... and Kenneth Branagh, who I still want to make out with, added some nice touches to his idol - Sir Lawrence Olivier. This was the easiest category to call. No Armie Hammer isn't going to make it in.
