ОСКАР / OSCAR 2010

[слезинка]

Best Supporting Actor


Christoph Waltz ('Inglourious Basterds')
The Buzz: Like Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Forster before him, Waltz takes Tarantino's unparalleled dialogue and runs with it. Evil in four different languages, Waltz is the surest thing we've seen for an Oscar frontrunner so far this year. | Read more


Alfred Molina ('An Education')
The Buzz: The veteran Brit best known as Doc Ock has appeared in more than 50 films yet never earned an Oscar nod. That could change with his heartrending turn as an overprotective father in this buzzed-about drama from across the pond.


Paul Schneider ('Bright Star')
The Buzz: The lovable American character actor does two tremendous things in Jane Campion's drama: As John Keats' best bud Charles Armitage Brown, he plays both unlovable and un-American (Scottish-English to be exact).



Best Supporting Actress


Mo'nique ('Precious')
The Buzz: Call her the Mickey Rourke of 2009. The veteran of films such as 'Phat Girlz' and 'Soul Plane' is racking up dynamite reviews for her devastating turn as an abusive mother in this drama. An Oscar nom for Mo'Nique looks i'nevitable.


Anna Kendrick ('Up in the Air')
The Buzz: Sorry R.Patz fans -- it looks like the first 'Twilight'er to score an Oscar nom could be Kendrick, who steals scenes from George Clooney in this crowd-pleaser. EW's Karger called her scene-chewing turn a "big breakout" in predicting her place on the Oscar ballot.

Rachel Weisz ('The Lovely Bones')
The Buzz: As the murdered wife of a diplomat in 'The Constant Gardener,' Weisz walked away with an Oscar. Now the tables are turned, as she's mother to a murdered daughter in this surefire holiday hit. The fact that Weisz also drew raves for 'The Brothers Bloom' should help her cause.
