SPECIAL TO THE FAC: BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR 12 DAYS OUT

In what is generally considered a two horse race, at this point Christopher Plummer seems to have the edge over Albert Brooks and then it’s a battle for the other three spots.  Here’s the latest compilation with the only Telluride #38 contender in bold and large).

7) Patton Oswalt/Young Adult

8) Max Von Sydow/Extremely Loud

8) Viggo Mortensen/A Dangerous Method (tie)

10) Andy Serkis/Rise of the Planet of the Apes

 Others getting notice:

Asa Butterflied/Hugo, Ben Kingsley/Hugo, Kevin Spacey/Margin Call, Corey Stoll/Midnight in Paris, Robert Forster/Descendants, Brad Pitt/Tree of Life.

HOT: Hill, Hammer, Mortensen and Serkis

NOT: Von Sydow

THOUGHT: In addition to Plummer and Brooks, Brannagh appears to be a lock for a nomination.  Currently, Hill and Nolte appear to be fairly comfortable as well. 

Tomorrow, I’ll take a look at the race for both types of screenplays.
