Tough category, but there are definitely some leaders (and not-so leaders) on this list.
- Jesse Eisenberg - The Social Network as Mark Zuckerberg
- Colin Firth - The King’s Speech as King George VI
- Ryan Gosling - Blue Valentine as Dean
- Mark Wahlberg - The Fighter as Micky Ward
Who Will Win: Colin Firth. He was incredible as King George and I never once pictured him from other roles. It's damn hard to speak with a speech impediment without sounding offensive. He deserves this award! (Runner Up: James Franco).
Who I Think Should Win: James Franco. Yes, Colin Firth was amazing, but Franco made me cringe and cower when he was cutting off his own arm. (Runner Up: Colin Firth)
Who Should Be Here: Aaron Eckhart in Rabbit Hole. This was one of the SADDEST movies I have ever seen, and he definitely should have been nominated for his timing and chemistry with Nicole Kidman. (Runner Up: John Hawkes in Winter's Bone)
Who Shouldn't Be Here: Jessie Eisenberg. Yes, he played the dorky, naive kind of ass-hole, but he plays that in every film I have ever seen him in. He's like serious a Michael Cera.
Longshot: Mark Whalberg. He's probably the one guy from MA who can do a decent Boston accent. Plus he can take a punch and is apparently TOO SEXY that he needed a body double for this film. The supporting roles definitely outshone his lead, but he was still wicked good.
Out of all of the films here I only got to see Black Swan, and let me tell you that I was taken back by this film. What an emotional experience I went through while watching this production. ANd that leaves me saying this: I dont know what is this new movie Natalie Portman is staring in if it isn't good then she better make sure publicity is on the dead zone.
