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.

How can they be helped? A study skills course? A time management class? Effort training...
...Actors Moving Forward slate, refused to debate Gilbert, of the Restore Respect party. Harper sent out a mailing disclosing that Gilbert was a scab in a 1989 movie; Gilbert was forced to send out an e-mail explaining why she was too busy to appear at SAG strike events last year (birthday parties, dying dog, nanny quitting, husband Bruce Boxleitner's knee surgery). Victorious Actors Moving Forward treasurer candidate Kent McCord, of Adam-12, said, "I have never seen an attempt to obliterate the truth in the manner the Melissa Gilbert campaign has." The election was seen by many...
