MY AFTER-NOMINATION COMMENTS
Although I don't think he deserves it (even though he was great in the film) - Foxx is probably the one closest-to-a-sure-thing we have in this race	DeCaprio could be the one to topple Foxx (or it could be Eastwood too) - but can he be taken seriously enough to do so?	Cheadle was supposedly a surprise on nomination morn (although I predicted him) and he probably gives the best performance of the five nominees	Depp won't win for this one, but it will happen someday	Clint Eastwood nominated instead The biggest snub of the nominations - will poor Paul ever get the respect afforded him?
