OSCAR INDEX: J-'Argo'-naut! In Spite Of Academy Snub, Oscar Momentum Continues To Build For Ben Affleck's Picture

Best Supporting Actor

“I don't think there is a front-runner in this category,” New York magazine’s Kyle Buchanan wrote on Jan. 10. “All five of the men nominated here have won before, so it's something of an even playing field, and Jones has a super-tasty Lincoln performance full of Big Scenes, which could give him an advantage. But Robert De Niro and Philip Seymour Hoffman are no slouches, either. The former has dropped not-so-subtle hints about how much he'd like a trophy, while the latter, in particular, could win for what's basically a co-lead performance.” Except for Waltz’s Golden Globe win, not much has changed in the past two weeks. Waltz made an appearance on The View last week, but so far none of the others have been working the talk show circuit. Again, the SGA awards this weekend should help sort out this category.

 1.Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln)

2. Robert DeNiro (Silver Linings Playbook)

5. Alan Arkin (Argo)
