J. K. SIMMONS – ‘Whiplash’
Simmons has had a very successful few months and is sure to be nominated. Likely to pick up the gong in February as well.

ROBERT DUVALL – ‘The Judge’
Duvall’s performance in ‘The Judge’ was well liked, and nominations at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards should see him get the nod.

ETHAN HAWKE – ‘Boyhood’
‘Boyhood’ could well dominate the Oscars this year and Hawke may be a strong part of that.

EDWARD NORTON – ‘Birdman’
Norton has picked up strong recognition in the past few months and, like his co-stars, is highly likely to feature.

MARK RUFFALO – ‘Foxcatcher’
Ruffalo had been an early frontrunner post-Cannes and has done well to keep momentum up to this point. Not a certain, but should feature.

JOSH BROLIN – ‘Inherent Vice’
This is a dark horse, but Brolin’s performance is one of his best and very popular. Could sneak in.

CHRISTOPH WALTZ – ‘Big Eyes’
Waltz was recently nominated for a Golden Globe which would certainly help his case, and his recent success at the Oscars make him a decent outside bet.
