Oscar Index: Day-Lewis, Chastain, Jones & Hathaway Lead In Final Stretch

 

Best Supporting Actor

 I googled this, but got bored and quit halfway through. As far as I can tell, never before in this category has every nominee been a previous Oscar-winner. Tommy Lee Jones is considered to be the early front-runner and the biggest beneficiary of a possible Lincoln sweep. But you literally might want to hold your bets. "Tommy Lee Jones is not a clear favorite," Kevin Bradley, sportsbook manager for online gambling site Bovada, told ABCNews.com. "There could be an upset." The Gurus of Gold pick Robert De Niro as Jones’ closest competition, followed by Philip Seymour Hoffman.

1. Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln)
2. Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook)
3. Phillip Seymour Hoffman (The Master)
4. Alan Arkin (Argo)
5. Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained)

 

Best Supporting Actress

 Anne Hathaway right now enjoys a seeming Day-Lewis invincibility, thanks to her show-stopping performance of “I Dreamed a Dream.” Corliss again: “Naked emotion, plus a shaved head and an emaciated frame, should scream “Acting!” to the voters, at least a quarter of whom are in that very trade.” Offered EW’s Breznican, She’ll be tough to beat, but if anything, this is a two-way race between (her and Sally Field).”

1. Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables)
2. Sally Field (Lincoln)
3. Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook)
4. Helen Hunt (The Sessions)
5. Amy Adams (The Master)
