Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton, Ruby Dee in American Gangster, and Kelly Macdonald in No Country for Old Men
Best Supporting Actor
The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are:
Robert Downey Jr. in Zodiac, Philip Seymour Hoffman in Charlie Wilson’s War, Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men, Dillon Freasier in There Will Be Blood, Tom Wilkinson in Michael Clayton, Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men, and Woody Harrelson in No Country for Old Men
And the PB goes to...
Javier Bardem, for creating one of the most startlingly original characters in recent film history and for making No Country for Old Men's Anton Chigurh the scariest badass villain since the Terminator. On a side note, how much would you enjoying seeing Javier Bardem accept his (likely) Oscar in character?
"Look at this Oscar. It has been traveling for 80 years to get here. And now
it's here. And it's mine. You can't have it now. That wouldn't be fair. It's
mine. You're gonna let me have it. That is the best deal you're gonna get. I
won't tell you you can save yourselves, because you can't. Call it, friend-0."Pulls out a silenced shotgun and BLAM!

I completely agree with PB's picks for the supporting actor/actress category. I was hoping to disagree so I could write something witty or at least interesting ;) I think Javier Bardem will win the real Oscar as well. I am hoping Tilda Swinton wins the real Oscar too, but Entertainment Weekly and some other sites think Ruby Dee could be a contender. I am sorry but I do not think Ruby Dee's slap of Denzel is enough to earn her the Oscar. Looking forward to PB's upcoming picks!
Tilda Swinton really was great in Michael Clayton, and I agree with that pick. I would've been excited to have Ruby Dee win too though, "Whose house is that?", "That's your house momma!". Great, unintentionally hilarious line from an exciting blockbuster. I still gotta see No Country For Old Men before I can agree with the Javier Bardem pick, but from what I hear, he is incredible in that movie.
Haha Alec you are right - how could I forget one of my favorite lines in American Gangster courtesy of Ruby Dee!
Alec - wouldn't it have been funnier though if the line had been, "That's MOMMA'S HOUSE!"
Finally saw American Gangster on Friday night - quality flick.
