Supporting acting nominees are great because they range from a mind blowing, one or two scene performance (Hal Holbrook) to a strong acting presence throughout the whole film (Casey Affleck, Javier Bardem). This year each nominee turns in an amazing performance and deserves to win as much of the next, but there is an obvious front runner. The nominees are:
Casey Affleck in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men
Philip Seymour Hoffman in Charlie Wilson's War
Hal Holbrook in Into the Wild
Tom Wilkinson in Michael Clayton
Prediction
Javier Bardem.

I saw this one in theaters just after I read the book. It compares pretty well; the book is slightly more convoluted with some more plot twists, but as far as condensing it into two hours, Affleck and Stockard adapted Dennis Lehane’s novel nicely.
Casey Affleck plays Patrick Kenzie, a private investigator that, along with his partner Angie Genarro (Michelle Monaghan), is investigating a missing child case in Boston.
