Sharlto Copley No comment.
Best Actor: Optimus Prime Robot-Americans have too long gone unrecognized by the Academy.
Michelle Pfeiffer, Best Actress for “Cheri” One of her best performances in years that would have gotten much more attention if the movie was released in the fall than when it was dumped in June.
Michael Sheen Best Actor for “The Damned United.” This underrated actor just keeps getting screwed over for such remarkable portrayals it would be nice to see him finally recognized.
Pedro Almodovar, Best Director No comment.
Christian McKay, Best Actor nominee for Me and Orson Welles.
 He looks remarkably like the young Orson Welles (it’s biology, not parody) and he effortlessly channels the man’s energy and charisma, demonstrating how one so demanding could be so loved.
Matt Damon for The Informant! No comment.
Paul Schneider, Bright Star – Best Supporting Actor In a role I might have thought a little beyond him, he did everything a great supporting performance should do and the film was better for his presence in it.
Jeremy Renner for The Hurt Locker By the time they vote for winners, he could be a frontrunner… but needs to get nominated 7 weeks earlier.
Sharlto Copley, best actor No comment.
Wes Anderson, Best Director, Fantastic Mr. Fox No comment.
Peter Capaldi for In the Loop Peter Capaldi for the In the Loop, or any recognition for that film at all, would be great – one of the best and underrated films of 2009.
Antichrist No comment.
Bright Star No comment.
Ed Asner in Up. Or Dakota Fanning for Coraline or Seth Rogen in Monsters vs. Aliens or George Clooney as Mr. Fox. Voice work is acting, too!!!
