Oscar Nominee Analysis: Best Supporting Actor

Best Supporting Actor

Christoper Plummer
Beginners

Nick Nolte
Warrior

Max von Sydow
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Jonah Hill
Moneyball

Kenneth Branagh
My Week with Marilyn

Christoper Plummer? Check. Jonah Hill? Check. Kenneth Branagh? Check. Albert Brooks? Ch--oh. Wait. What? How does this make any sense? Albert Brooks gives one of the best performances of the year in Drive, and the people of the Acadamy decide to miss it? How in the hell? Seriously. How in the hell do they miss that? Brooks gave a performance that some actors wish they could give, and he does it with such ease, it's as if he was in the mob at some point in his life. Brooks was suppose to compete with Plummer for the award, but I think it's safe to say that Christopher Plummer will win his very first Oscar. Several other nominees that could have snuck their way in would have been Ryan Gosling for Crazy, Stupid, Love and Patton Oswalt for Young Adult. But if you're looking for a HUGE stretch, Alan Rickman for his portrayel of Severus Snape in the final Harry Potter film.

Films I Haven't Seen: ...All of them...

Snubs:
Albert Brooks, Drive
Ryan Gosling, Crazy, Stupid, Love
Patton Oswalt, Young Adult
Alan Rickman, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
