Russell Crowe, Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington have split many of the year’s Best Actor awards between them; I’d expect that all three will be nominated for their work. The typically prophetic Screen Actors Guild (SAG) failed to nominate Hackman for The Royal Tenenbaums, but I don’t think that their oversight dims his chances terribly. Along the same lines, Bedroom’s Tom Wilkinson received no Globe nomination, but his recognition record is otherwise sterling, and his chances for an Oscar nomination look excellent. I think that Penn, whose role...
...most successful year of their careers, and capping it with Oscar nods seems in order. Nicole Kidman’s work in The Others may bleed away some support from her more heavily promoted Moulin Rouge role—and, indeed, this split was probably what cost her a SAG nomination—but I think that she’s well-positioned to claim a Moulin Rouge nod regardless. Dench received a rare two SAG nods this year (for Iris and The Shipping News), suggesting that she enjoys sufficiently strong support among her fellow actors to grab...

Jon Voight should pull a nod for his rich, intelligent portrayal of Howard Cosell in Ali. Ian McKellen, his chances bolstered by his SAG nomination, will likely be the sole performer recognized from The Fellowship of the Ring’s ensemble. Finally, I see the oft-acclaimed indie vet Steve Buscemi taking his first Oscar nomination for his role as an endearing misfit in Ghost World. More distant possibilities in this traditionally talent-packed...
...Blanchett. Of the five, Tomei’s and Smith’s films are the most prominent in the Oscar race, and will lift the actresses to nominations. The category’s fifth space will probably fall to the ever-lauded Winslet, although Diaz’s SAG nomination makes her almost as likely to take the spot. Meanwhile, Blanchett, though an invariably wonderful actress, will unfortunately see her support split among several films this year...
What can be done for those poor out-of-sight Losers, charging up their intellectual batteries in their beds, those pathetic souls who can’t quite contain that all-natural instinct to sag their eyelids, whose only crime is listening to their bodily signals? How can they be helped? A study skills course? A time management class? Effort training...
