BEST ACTOR NOMINATION PREDICTIONS
POST-NOMINATION COMMENTS: First off, I would like to say YAY and good riddence to Mr. Russell Crowe and his non-involvement in this year's Oscars, but not to fear all you Australia-files, thanx to Heath Ledger, this will be the eleventh consecutive year with at least one Aussie in the pack. FINAL PREDICTION COMMENTS: The first three are locks, and I would like to say that Strathairn is a lock too, but I'm afraid he might still be breakable. Either he or Crowe could slip out to make room for Terrence Howard.
